I assume you've heard "What a fool believes".
When I hear that opening, I'm suddenly 14 again.

Pain caused by Love,great songs come of it, so relatable 😢
Piolo, for some recent Michael McDonald, look up Dukes of September, an All Star band,... Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs and Donald Fagen,....
Polo, great react video. I love Michael McDonald his voice always brings me back to sitting in my room listening to the radio all night waiting for my favorite songs to come on. If you like Michael McDonald he was in a band called the Doobie Brothers which were awesome check out their song "Black Water" which is a homage to the Mississippi River.
His voice was literally EVERYWHERE in the 80's. One of the defining voices of the 70's and 80's. He sang in so many songs with so many artists, it is almost impossible to count.
Truth!
This man's voice is unforgettable. He was and still is pretty easy on the eyes, too. Great song.
Those eyes of his!!
Truest of true stories: My big Brother still kind of looks like MM, but in the 70's same hair, same facial hair, blue-green eyes. Looked just like Him. I'm 10 years younger, all the female attention He got was ridiculous. I couldn't wait to get to High School.
Until I got there, My experience varied.
What “ a fool believes” should be next, it’s another great one
Micheal McDonald's voice is one of a kind, you hear it and you know exactly who it is immediately
I remember hearing Christopher Cross Ride like the wind and hearing McDonald in the background and being like..."uh uh, that's MM, wtf!?"
In other words...you are so correct. lol
@@Dt.1.KENOBI same
Those are my exact thoughts. 🙂
Another example is James Ingram's Yah Mo Be There where Michael McDonald is unmistakably singing most of the Yah Mo Be There's.
" What a fool believes" is a must listen!
Rare talent...Mr. Michael McDonald yall....love so many of his songs and his songs with the Doobie Brothers. His voice, his gospel style piano/keyboard playing...what a gem!
And Steely Dan!!!
I will stop everything to listen to Micheal McDonald....thank you
Listen to him when he was with the Doobie Brothers just as spectacular!!!
Wow…after over 40 years, his sound still makes me listen, makes me love the voice, makes me SWOON.
Him and Patty Labelle.. duet singing on my own...
A must reaction.
Please give a listen to his duet with Patti LaBelle,
On My Own. The music video is the one you need
You won’t believe your ears, it’s more
than incredible!! And you are right, this never gets old.
One of my late Fathers favourite songs
Yes
What a classic !
Oh my Patti LaBelle one of my favs.
Between that and my dad being a fan of the Doobie Brothers is how I became a fan of Michael McDonald...
I saw Michael with the Doobie Brothers just 2 years ago and I'll be seeing him again in just 13 days because he is still touring with them. The whole band still sounds amazing!!!
Michael’s music ages like a fine red wine. 🍷
Michael McDonald is living proof that brilliant soul singing is all about what’s inside of you in terms of lived experience,talent and ability and not about race ..
With the Doobie Brothers, with Steely Dan, with the Dukes of September, or solo; there's no mistaking Michael McDonald's gift. For another smooth tour de force, listen to Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees album, you'll be so glad you did.🎶👏
I saw that show, amazing 🎶
I love that one too. Boz Scaggs and Silk Degrees.
They call his sound "St Louis soul"
He recorded with many band and other great singers. He's a music living legend
This song never gets old. I am 67 and listen to Michael’s music a lot.
And not ONLY did he KILL IT, but the Band was on it
That band was TOTO!
You gotta hear him on lead with The Doobie Brothers “Taking it to the Streets”
Love that voice! Solo, Doobies, Steely Dan and more!!
Those back up singers are his sisters. A talented family for sure. Loved Michael McDonald’s unique voice and he was everywhere back in the 70’s & 80’s. He has the most beautiful blue eyes and woman were madly in love with him.
This is an eternal JAM. I have always and will always love it!
One of my favorite singers. One of my favorite artist.
Check put Dan Fogelberg's Old Lang Syne. It will make you weep.
Omg!! I love Dan Fogelberg. Dan opened for the Eagles in 1975 at the capital in NJ. Fell in love with him and his music from that moment on!! 💜💜💜 RIP Dan
Absolutely LOVE his music. Well worth your time to go down the rabbit hole.
The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Michael McDonald ❤
Michael McDonald sang with so many people. Incredible voice
This bass line is perfection Written by Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson
I seen Michael McDonald live in the 90s, He was brilliant, Right up there with Luther Vandross. He also did backing vocals for ToTo, another brilliant group of the 80s to check out.
Yes he is awesome. Bob Seger also a great manly voice. MainStreet, Turn the Page, We’ve Got Tonight and so many more.
Like a Rock!!!
7:24 That footwork on the bass drum!!!
The drummer is killing it in this live version.
Everyone is so distracted by the vocals that they aren't hearing the talent behind the singer.
He was such a major performer he had some of the best musicians backing him.
Jeff Porcaro played drums on that song. Not sure if he played the studio and that live version though.
That's why the drums are so good in that song. Porcaro is/was one of the best in the industry.
@@13_13k Yeah. He is on my practice list.
I truly appreciate your openness to listen to such a variety of great music from the past. You have great ears for anything genuine and heartfelt. The era that Michael came from was the product of great musicianship and blending of genres. Where black or white didn’t matter or separate us. Blue eyed soul helped many white people glimpse into the lives and hearts of people of color and appreciate that transcendent quality of brotherhood. It also helped people of color recognize themselves in others and gave props to the legends whose shoulders we all stand on.
Your show is the best of its type, for my money and you are the real deal.
Keep on Pushin’.
His voice full of soul and so powerful...This song has not aged because the song quality stands the test of time..as he does. Thanks for the review, to remind one & all of an important, yet still a humble artist is the wonderful Michael Mcdonald....
This song uses major and minor keys masterfully to tell the story of his mind set...
His ain’t no mountain high is a work of art.
Highly recommend "You Belong to Me" by Carly Simon. It was written by Carly and Michael McDonald. Originally recorded by the Doobie Brothers, when Michael was their lead singer, but then made famous by Carly. Great song. So smooth.
Hi Polo, love watching you,you’re the best! I’m a 72 year old woman, who spends my time listening to music. This guy was so good ,every time. Going off completely for this sound, I would love to see you reaction to Ian Dury and The Blokheads, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. Ian’s died young, he wrote the most amazing words, he was a polio victim, a hell of a character, the band were tight. Please , I’d love to watch your reaction to them. 🥰🥰🥰
Its a friggin jam bro. His Motown stuff is amazing too. Im 56, still jammin to MM.
F.Y.I. POLO...thats Marilyn McCoo's "Solid Gold" Show from Feb. 15, 1983...WoW!
This isn’t live. It’s the studio track with live footage on the screen. Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro from Toto on this track.
Right.
Yep. It's definitely lip synced over the original, but I've seen him live and he's still an amazing singer. He brings so much to the table.
I LOVE THIS GUY! Calling Michael "...cooler than the other side of the pillow." is hilarious! Great review! I have been a huge fan of Michael McDonald since he was a Doobie Brother. LOVE him!
If Michael McDonald is new to you Polo, you have a large, very high quality catalogue to explore. What a talent and what a voice!! Enjoy my friend.
This man was on every album in the 70s
I love Michael’s voice and of course this song. Another great one is Cry Like a Rainy Day. Thank you!
" this video should have a hundred million views"
Polo Mars
Hahahaha
Polo - some people don't like Michael's voice. Can you believe that?
His voice is so soulful and can rock as well.
He has a lot of great music.
This music never gets old.
The 1970s really has a lot of music that is beyond great.
I have seen him in concert several times. He is so amazing , not only his voice but he is an excellent musician also.
This song was Michael McDonald's very first Top 10 hit as a solo artist. The song did peaked at the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the early fall of 1982. It also peaked at the #1 spot on the Billboard Soul chart as well. By the way, the female backup vocals on this song is Michael McDonald's sister, Maureen McDonald. This song is a definitely banger indeed for Michael McDonald's solo debut song.
"COOLER THAN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW," WHO SAYS THAT? ADORE YOU, POLO. KEEP EXPLORING.
You just can't keep from moving to that groove. So good
Michael's soul got soul!!
💖 🎶💖
He’s one of those artists that both men and women loved. And he writes all his own songs.
The smiling drummer, the great Jeff Porcaro, played on many of McDonald's songs and albums as he does here. They were good friends.
Porcaro recommended Mcdonald to Becker & Fagan of Steely Dan and they hired him. Porcaro had just been hired by them in 1973 and both toured with SD in 1974. If not for his buddy Jeff, who knows. His hiring by SD really started Mcdonalds ball rolling.
I had the pleasure of seeing SD with both Porcaro and Mcdonald several times in 1974 and met Mcdonald too along with the band, 50 years ago. Turns out, my high school mates were Jeff Porcaro and his brothers.
YES I still listen today 😊. His voice is so distinct, you can hear it when he does background vocals for huge acts, such as Steely Dan (Peg), Christopher Cross (Ride Like The Wind), Kenny Loggins, so much more. And I love my bearded Alpha husband ❤. And yes, Regulate is one of the most famous Rap samples of 80’s music ever. I could name about 20 more based on 70’s and 80’s. ❤
You make it new for us again..the songs we loved in the day just with your love of music and i enjoy learning ones i missed or maybe not my favorite genre here too. It is nice to make these songs come alive again..thank you.
He's a great singer.
Always loved his music.
The official music video has 13 million views. 🩷
I've loved Michael McDonald since the 1st note that I heard him sing ❤
Off the charts GREAT. Michael McDonald don't play around!!!
Michael was the lead singer of The Doobie Brothers…….My favorite song of theirs is China Grove, we grooved to it in the 70’s. Love Michaels truly amazing voice!
It's in my playlist of about 400 songs. I don't skip it.
Michael McDonald like a lot of his contemporaries of the 70's and early 80's were always so good live and where so close to the studio version of their music, it's that they were so good at their craft.
If you listen to Journey live and then their studio work you can really hear how good they are.
A great talent that permitted the radio channels back in the day; a classic. He played with so many as well. Lots of material to discover!
This song and most from this era are still unbelievable! I grew up with a Father who was a singer and musician. He would gig out a few times a week with his band. We always had great music playing in my house. I fell in love with this type of music. All of my siblings and I became singers and musicians. I keep this music close because it reminds me of my Dad and I just love it so much. I was talking to him about how much I loved his music and he apologized to me... I said I'm not sorry, I love it. I grew up in the '80s and '90s and you weren't "cool" if you listened to older music, but I didn't care! I listened to all kinds of music! I'm just glad that is no longer a thing, and now there are people all over the world that know this great music!
I think you will love the song Baby Come Back, by Player! Such an incredible song! I could listen to it on a loop! Thanks for a great reaction!
I saw him live about 15-16 years ago, and he sounded incredible then, too! Same - just like in studio. Made a huge impression on me. ❤
Always have been and will be a fan of Him and the doobie Brothers. Awesome work and grew up listening to them!!!! 👏👏👏👏
MM is a great artist with a smooth voice
His voice always gives me chills! My favorite male vocalist of all time!
Live pure talent. Love M.M., there is not a better soulful voice out there.
I love this song. It’s from my era.
One of my favorites from Michael is a duet with Patti LaBelle "On my own", it's stunning. Michael and Kenny Loggins sang together many times and then his time with the Doobie Brothers is legendary. No other voice like his! Always listen to your elders and I'm one!! This was a time when you either had the chops or didn't. No autotune. No effects. Pure, raw and brilliant. These guys built the table today's kids deign to sit at!!
I was born in the 70s and grew up with this and puffs version! ❤
Al green is my absolute favorite but yes that whole sound is just melted chocolate for my ears and soul. And Mike McDonald is so smooth like that
Michael in the Doobie Brothers is killer. They are touring right now.
I saw them a couple of years ago! Fantastic
I'm a seahawks fan. The new coaches name is mike mcdonald.i won't forget his name ever again.always a music fan!
He was also with the Doobie Brothers.
Also sang with Steely Dan
Hey Polo, Michael McDonald has been dubbed & crowned as "The Man With The Golden Voice!!!"
My favorite solo artist. Saw him 5 years ago. Front row. I could almost touch his piano. Unreal.
A treasure in the business. Part of the DooBie brothers for a while. So gifted and unusual. Thanks.
cooler than the other side of the pillow..........LOVE IT!!!!!!
Hi Polo...Michael also made some great appearances with Christopher Cross Ride like the Wind. He also does a fantastic live with Steely Dan Showbizz Kids. Michael Mcdonald is something else ❤🎉
In addition to all the cool trivia regarding this song, there was an entire research study done on a concept called “fractals” using the high hat pattern from Jeff’s drumming
Thanks for showing that one Polo. I really enjoy your reactions, and great respect for the artists you react to - and yes, Michael McDonald's work was fantastic when it was released, and his work should definitely still be played publicly. I feel so fortunate to have been listening to so much good contemporary music through the 70's--90s.
I’m going to The Doobie Brothers concert (with Michael) in September. I can’t wait.
I enjoy your reactions and it makes me really appreciate the time I grew up in, which has got to be a couple of the best musical decades ever. ❤
So am I. Will be like the 5th time I've seen them.
I grew up listening to the Doobie Brothers & MM. I have been lucky enough to see them live many times. They are touring now & still sound great !
He got an all star team of musicians for this song too. That shines through in the music.
wow pure Music with Soul so perfect
Him and Michael Bolton are the bomb...
In 40 years I've never listened to the words... what a sad awesome song
Those lyrics tell the truth so well. I can her leave, the red lipstick on the cigarette, the faint smoke trailing upward, crossing to peer out the curtains and watch her gray Pontiac moving away, as I sit there stunned, once more.
I've seen Michael many times in concert, he sounds better and better..always gives an awesome performance.❤
McDonald was a true asset to everyone he played with… starting with Steely Dan, then the Doobs, then solo and tracks with Patti LaBelle, James Ingram & David Pack. Also check him out with Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs on the Dukes of September / Rock & Soul Revue!
Great stuff.
don't forget Christopher Cross!
As a child / teen of the 80's yes, this guy was and is awesome. I still love this song for sure. Can we mention that bass player..so good :) . Ty for this one, keep exploring great music !
this is his solo joint, but to this day my favorite doobie brothers songs are “black water”, “takin it to the streets” and “minute by minute”. all-time #1 joints!!!
Michael McDonald has such an iconic voice. So many collabs through the years, but you always know it's him. There's a funny SCTV video with ... I want to say Martin Short... that does a spoof on Michael coming to a studio to sings just a line or two on a song., and then tries to pick up his payment, but then he has to run back in and sing the same line again... it's funny.
He is Blue-eyed Soul. Doobie Brothers Minute by minute and Takin it to the Streets 🔥 ❤
Blue eyed soul! He was the main voice of the early Doobie Brothers songs.
He was with the Doogie brothers too. That song is on my liked list for sure.
He's touring with the Doobie Brothers this summer. Steve Linwood is the opening act. Should be pretty good!!!
Thank you.
This is kind of random, but Will Ferrell did a Broadway one man show as George W Bush when he left office, called "You're Welcome America, An Evening with George W Bush" (Filmed by HBO). In one scene where his character of Bush is thinking about his secret crush on Condoleezza Rice, this song starts playing and a lookalike comes out, they do a super hot dance routine together. It's so funny. Now every time I hear this song, I can't help but see that dance routine in my head. There's a video on RUclips, called "You're Welcome America, Condi scene". Cheers
This show was called Solid Gold and they didn't have live performances, so it is the studio track! BUT. Michael McDonald is on tour right now with his old band the Doobie Brothers and he still sounds amazing.
He released a memoir (called What A Fool Believes) a few months ago that's totally worth reading (and listening to all the songs he mentions in it) to hear how he came up as a performing musician in Ferguson, Missouri from the time he was a young teen and how he very very very slowly had success and became famous. (He went through so much that when he finally lands the gig with Steely Dan in the book I actual burst into tears.)
Listen to "You Belong To Me" next because it has the same yearning vibe. He wrote the music and Carly Simon wrote the lyrics.
