Hmm, but does it work the other way? When I was in my 20s my mom begged me to go with her to Sam Goody to get Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys CDs because she didn't want to be "the old lady" in the record store. Now I am in my 40s and I had to investigate (and fall in love) with Billie Eilish's music (In my mother's honor) and tomorrow is the Grammy awards and I am cheering on Wet Leg for best new artist. They were just college buddies a couple of years ago so it would be neat if they won at least 1 of the 3 Grammys they were nominated for (Their album engineers are also nominated for the best non-classical engineered album Grammy.)
"These the Blackest White folks I ever seen" I screamed. Your reactions are real. You respect the pure music. So good to see young people react to the music we listened to in the 70"s
I originally discovered Micheal through Queen Patti Labelle’s On My Own with him, and have a few songs of him downloaded… But I was today years old when I found Micheal was born in my hometown!! ☀️ Lol I live in Florissant Mo
He could have dropped out of school in kindergarten and still made it as a professional singer! There is no way in the world that this voice and that man were not going to the top!!!! A voice from the heavens!!!!!
This old 75 yr old white woman wishes I could give each one of you a big hug!! I’m so glad you’re spreading all the fabulous older music to the younger generation!! Good music is timeless and should never be forgotten!
Agree. I'm 32 and this was way before my time, i can't listen to radio. everything sounds the same. I go back in time and listen to everything from ACDC to ZZ Top. Aretha, Jefferson Airplane, Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Beach Boys or Black Sabbath. Everything is way better than most of nowadays music. Shoutout to Black Pumas
This is a skit. Look at the Nike shirt guy. He's slipped up 3 times when he starts singing along. He stops himself every time. He knows this song and the singer.
@@StacyMarshall-fj5mh cooorect ! This was a start of the replicating other music in the 90s . Using ALMOST the same back drop beat . Now we see todays artist steal the whole song and completly replicate it. Nate dogg nd warren G used the back drop in the 90s but Michael Mcdonald was the orginal creator in the 80 s.
I am just thrilled to see young people reconnect with REAL music. Ayyyy....Kenny Loggins...He and Michael McDonald are writing partners and have been since THEIR youth. DO NOT SLEEP ON KENNY LOGGINS....He actually wrote What A Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers where MCDONALD sings lead....Kenny wrote that joint.
saw him live on smooth jazz cruise last year. amazing he is72 and sounded incredible. also jeffrey osbourne this year 76 amazing vvoice in incredible shape I was so impressed with them at their age!
Michael McDonald originally blew up with Steely Dan then was recruited by the Doobie Brothers in 1975: I think you guys’ll love the DB, try What a Fool Believes. Keep up the great work, guys🤙🏾
This is so cute. My daughter used to get angry as a teenager because I could always tell her , whose music was sampled in their NEW music. Keep listening guys😂
You guys are so young. Back in the day it didn't matter what color you were. If you created a good groove, people liked it now. Ever since 2004 they've been trying to divide us. Glad to see your checking out the old stuff. I'm a 60ish white dude and try to never miss an episode. You guys give me hope.
"THESE ARE THE BLACKEST WHITE PEOPLE I HAVE EVER SEEENA"! I'm laughing too hard right now. That is the best way to describe that whole situation! Love that man's amazing soulful unique voice. No one can duplicate it. I love and enjoy your react and thank you for sharing❤
My nephew watch’s videos from Soul Train and it blows him away. It brings tears to his eyes. When the guy,did the fire hydrant, I was crying,so great. 😂
As a 55yr old man I just truly enjoy the authentic reaction of the younger generation when they hear older fire the first time. Much respect to these brothas for diggin in the crates!!
I love this so much. These young men remind me of my kid. I love seeing my son "discovering" artists that I grew up with in the 70's and 80's. Good music never goes out of style!
Michael McDonald met Nate Dogg one day by happenstance. McDonald congratulated the Brutha on his musical success based on the sample. When people questioned McDonald about Nate’s use of his music, McDonald said he was cool with it and that music is a gift to be shared. McDonald his a hell of a musician and cool dude. Respect.
I am 61 this year and enjoy the young people of our time discovering the true music of our days .There will never be music like this. If the young people keep alive it will never die. Thank you enjoy. 😂
I’m a 70’s baby and love your reaction… This is during the Blue Eyed soul period, incredible music. We were all together for the music black, Latino white all together for the fun. He also sang with Patty Labelle!

@@snowflakehunter maybe I should have said pure talent. 3 personal Grammies and 2 more with the Doobie Brothers tells the story, not to mention the times he was nominated and didn’t win.

Thank You Young Men for learning about the GREAT MUSIC I grew up listening to. That 🎵 came out in 1982, I was 17 yrs old @ the time. Mr. McDonald is a Legend both as a solo artist & as part of the Legendary Doobie Brothers!!!!
OMG…pure comedy!!! “That’s Marvin Gaye.” I literally hollered out loud. Then “Michael….Michael!” And Bro. Trucker Cap had to rise and rock. I was rolling! Enjoyed y’all more than the barber shop scene from Coming to America. If y’all ever check out Michael when he was with the Doobie Brothers, I would love to see your reactions. Thank you for the much-needed laughter.
Don Fagan wanted Michael McDonald to be the singer for Steely Dan instead of himself. Fagan never liked being on stage, and never liked his own voice. He wanted McDonald.
Michael has those blue eyes that make you melt into them. I hope that was his wife he was kissing! Lol He does an amazing duo with Toni Braxton too! She's wearing a gorgeous satin dress!
I'm 50 and my parents were listening to this guy since he was with The Doobie Brothers 💯 Michael went solo in 82 Do yourselves a favor and listen to The Doobie Brothers Greatest Hits; it doesn't disappoint 👌It keeps you running, Long Train Running, Minute by minute, Taking it to the streets; Real Love, etc. you boys will LOVE em✌️
If Ross (the guy on the far right) moves like that listening to a song I can only imagine what he be like in .... (well I won't say it...but suffice to say "a romantic situation")

Michael McDonald is a GOAT! He sang lead in one of the best bands of the 70s & 80s, The Doobie Brothers. "Takin' It to the Streets", "What a Fool Believes", and a song with James Ingram called "Yah Mo Be There" are some of my favorites. Btw, Steely Dan, Toto and other bands seemed to keep Mr. McDonald busy with backing vocals in those days.

and with Ms. Patty Labelle "On my own." Alos, remember they did the video in 2 different places. In other words, they were in different cities when they did the video. That's when people SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a young 60 yr older and it's amazing that my music from the 60s and 70s are right where they should be "AWESOME COME BACK"💞 It's sooooo nice to see them enjoy "REAL MUSIC" Keep listening guys...you won't be disappointed ! THANK You 😊
I love these videos bridging the musical gap. Most of the time, the younger generation is blown away! That's what we had the pleasure of growing up to.
whoa didn't know he was in Doobie Brothers. I just listened to a whole bunch of their stuff the other day and was blown away at how many great songs they have
You guys crack me up! Now you know why we loved our 80s music. I saw Michael McDonald when he was part of the Doobie Brothers back in the day. He is awesome. It's good to see younger people enjoying it too.
The drummer on this recording is Jeff Porcaro, the most recorded studio drummer through the 70's, 80's and further...he was the drummer for the group Toto..Jeff and his Toto band mates helped write and played on the Thriller album for Quincy and Micheal Jackson... just a little background.. enjoyed the reaction guys!
Once you hear Michael McDonald you never unhear him. His voice is in the background of tons of great songs as well as his Doobie Brothers and solo projects.
I agree! These guys are great…and the music itself is pure magic!😊 It’s amazing how music can have an effect on us all! Thanks for your service, Elisa…Happy (almost) Veteran’s Day!
Personally I think the bands and songs of the of the 70s but mostly the 80s are unmatched. I was born at the wrong time unfortunately and didn't get to enjoy the magic of that time.
"The blackest white folks I ever met." I done died with that. And the boy in blue feeling this sweet vibe. Dear Lord, how I love this video. Thank you for a much needed laugh and the memory of hearing a song I used to drive at night with my window down to.
A song This Much is True by Spando Ballet. has a line about Listening to Marvin all night long. Marvin Gaye.American Musicians reflect each other. Start back at One is a Country Music and an R&B hit.The Greedy and Power Hungry want people separated. Music and sports stadiums have all colors .
I wasn't expecting the smiles & Lord help I laughed SOOOO hard @ the young man on the right dancing & totally appreciating the sound! It was a MAGICAL time in music! I had such fun watching this! Keep it coming!🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely right! They are dancing and having a great time! My favorite song that Michael McDonald sings is “Real Love” with The Doobie Brothers and “On My Own” with Patti Labelle! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕😎😎😎😎
I'm a stagehand and worked one of his tours a few years ago. I got to help set up his piano for the show. He's still got the chops; it was a great show.
Miraculous is exactly the right word. Yes, influenced by African American singers, but a sound all his own, instantly recognizable, so musical, so soulful, truly beautiful.
Joni Mitchell's "Good Friends", Dog Eat Dog's opening track and first single. Mitchell's choice of Michael McDonald on vocals. The video of Good Friends is very creative with Joni and her then bass playing husband, Larry Klein (producer of many singer's albums) together. To me the video is very reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" video. Pretty different and cool video for the timez! Michael also does background vocals on the song "Tax Free" off the same album.
Yaaaaa! His voice is SMOOOTH! That boys from Ferguson Missouri - my home town! So much heart and soul in that place:) Broke my heart to see whats happened there since that cop murdered one of our children - Michael Brown. God bless all Gods children and thanks u guys for keepin these classiscs alive!! ☮️💜
“These are the blackest white folks I EVER met!” 😂😂 Love watching you groove to this awesome song! MM has been called “blue eyed soul”. One of my fav voices and artists of all time!
You young guys are restoring my hope for this generation. Not only are you listening to this music you are enjoying and appreciative of its influence on today's music. Keep it up. Old head from Donalsonville, LA
Just saw Michael back in September he was touring with the doobie brothers on their 50th anniversary tour he sounds just as good now as he did back then.. such a smooth voice.
❤ It’s so beautiful to see young men such as yourselves listening to music of my time. Such a blessing to open young minds to music of the past! Can appreciate different genres! Nice
So nice to see you young guys enjoying this. This where most of your today's rappers get their music samples from our music. This is one of my favorite songs. I'm 50 yrs old now but grew up on this good music.
Yesssss!!! Back when sampling other music was a compliment and allowed, I loved the earliest of rap music, it was super fun and those beats they'd sample... effin awesome. Miss it.
![ian - Fit Check (Feat. VonOff1700) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sDGWDBg45Dw/mqdefault.jpg)
Michael McDonald with Patty LaBelle "On My Own" one of the best duets.
It stayed at the top of the charts for so long. Great song!
yesss!!!!
Such an amazing duet!
Truth.
Yes! They would love that!
I'm a 65 year old woman and I have so much fun watching these young men enjoy artist their parents and grandparents loved!
Yeah. Put a smile on my face.

He also sang with James Ingram. He has the most recognized voice in the industry.
You guys should listen to Bobby Caldwell!

Evie, we both were screaming lmao!
Screamed! Lol!
Actually this isn't the 70s I think it's the 90s
me too. I screamed too at that comment.
My mother went to high school with him. They grew up in Ferguson, Missouri. He dropped out of high school to pursue his music career. Great artist!
My mom went to high school with his cousin. She partied with him back in the day. Her claim to fame 😂
Well that worked out 😅
I originally discovered Micheal through Queen Patti Labelle’s On My Own with him, and have a few songs of him downloaded… But I was today years old when I found Micheal was born in my hometown!! ☀️ Lol I live in Florissant Mo

When music was music and it never mattered who sang it.❤❤❤❤❤❤
So true the singers back in the day could sing.
correct
Agree. I'm 32 and this was way before my time, i can't listen to radio. everything sounds the same. I go back in time and listen to everything from ACDC to ZZ Top.

Many memories of this so song such a pleasure that these young men get this music it is timesless
You guys are so adorable. 73 year old white woman here and I see your hearts. ❤️❤️❤️

@@BlowinFree Yeah he's on the Aja album!
He's clearly heard on Steely Dan's "Peg" and "Bad Sneakers".
I would love to see the @CartierFamily react to some Steely Dan!!
My brother Lanny sounded just like him when he sang. He went to all those concerts.
I was a kid but I loved those bands still do! Amazing.
Michael Mcdonald, The Doobie Brothers AWB (Average White Band) and Hall & Oates were some of my favorites in the 70's & 80's.
Hall & Oates still give a fantastic concert.
Yes!!!!! I listen to the Yacht Rock radio station on Amazon and they play all of their hits all the time.
I love Hall &Oates
Yes!
Come on! Blue eye soul!
I love that within a few seconds you started dancing, I don't think anyone can stay still listening to this!

No auto tune, yes indeed. Raw talent.

Exactly. Just look at Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins.
He worked with James Ingram, too.
This here is what's known as Blue Eyed Soul, and Michael Mcdonald is one of the best in the genre.
Darryl Hall another blue eyed soul GOAT!
I love that sayin bro!! It fits perfect. Tina Marie also.
I’m 46 years old this was my jam in the 80”s 😊❤
Never heard anyone like him since. Simply marvelous

Michael has those blue eyes that make you melt into them. I hope that was his wife he was kissing! Lol He does an amazing duo with Toni Braxton too! She's wearing a gorgeous satin dress!

This was fun to watch! He had an amazing duet with Ms. Patty Labelle "On My Own"
If Ross (the guy on the far right) moves like that listening to a song I can only imagine what he be like in .... (well I won't say it...but suffice to say "a romantic situation")
Yes!! That is a must listen!! ❤
💯
If you guys like Michael McDonald, you really like one of his best friends Kenny Loggins. In fact, Michael McDonald background for him on several occasions. Even Michael Jackson said he was influenced by Kenny and his singing style: Here's some of Kenny Loggins famous hits:

Love that song
Michael McDonald is a GOAT! He sang lead in one of the best bands of the 70s & 80s, The Doobie Brothers. "Takin' It to the Streets", "What a Fool Believes", and a song with James Ingram called "Yah Mo Be There" are some of my favorites. Btw, Steely Dan, Toto and other bands seemed to keep Mr. McDonald busy with backing vocals in those days.

I remember when the Doobie Brothers were on "What's Happenin'" and they helped Rerun take down a bootlegger!!😃
@@destinysparkles5869 Yes!☺ Did you know What's Happening is on You Tube? I've watched it here.
and with Ms. Patty Labelle "On my own." Alos, remember they did the video in 2 different places. In other words, they were in different cities when they did the video. That's when people SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His voice is amazing. You should listen to him sing with James Ingram!
I’m 67 and Doobie Brothers is in my Apple Music…. Good music from the 70’s
I'm a young 60 yr older and it's amazing that my music from the 60s and 70s are right where they should be "AWESOME COME BACK"💞 It's sooooo nice to see them enjoy "REAL MUSIC" Keep listening guys...you won't be disappointed ! THANK You 😊
I'm 56 and so proud of these young kings finding the soul in this song and actually listening all the way to the end...Thank YOU kings!!!
I’m proud too
@@nicolehunter5927 ❤
wow 56? Thats awful
@@glowimagery634 no that's a blessing baby
I agree, I'm 56 too and it's so funny to see their reaction to the music we loved back in the day!👏😊
This is what you call real Music
This song came out in 1979
I was about nine yrs old
44 yrs later this song still sounds good to the ears 👂🏼
21 and baby #1
1982!
Yes, 1982, not 79. Its similar to the Doobie Brothers album he sang lead on in 1979 though.
I was six and I still LOVE IT!
Ditto!
So cool to c the younger gen enjoying our good music from back in the day. The good music was plentiful & immaculate.
I love these videos bridging the musical gap. Most of the time, the younger generation is blown away! That's what we had the pleasure of growing up to.
I love when young people really understand what real good music is. the Joy on your faces!
That was me when I got to this country 29 years ago.. It was awesome to learn about the music from the 80’s.
Yes, we had real music and it knew no color🤣🤣🤣
Oh how I miss this genre of music. Bring it back!
The guy in the blue hoodie casually getting up and dancing put a smile on my face!!
PURE JOY!!
Mine too! :) :)
I agree.Precious
me too
That guy’s a fool 😂
Yes I enjoy him as well 😊
I’m still lovin this one 2024
Glad you all enjoyed Michael McDonald.Check him out when he was in the Doobie Brothers band,a powerful and beautiful voice.Peace to you brothers.
What a Fool Believes---amazing!
Steely Dan too
whoa didn't know he was in Doobie Brothers. I just listened to a whole bunch of their stuff the other day and was blown away at how many great songs they have
Remember when the doobie brothers were on what’s happening?
@@davidsummersett2153 yes! Rerun was recording a bootleg!
I'm so pleased you all like one of my favorite tunes. 😘 Yes! Check out the Doobie Brothers too.
That will blow their minds 😁👍
@@portiamatthews9654 😆 Yes! I'm so glad that I grew up with this music. And these guys are just adorable when they appreciate it too. 😘
What a fool believes or taking it to the streets!
@@AssataH1 "What a Fool believes...." 🤩
@@redmoondesignbeth9119 absolutely, I'm glad that they're enjoying our music from back in the day. I know that my grandchildren enjoy it as well.
You guys crack me up! Now you know why we loved our 80s music. I saw Michael McDonald when he was part of the Doobie Brothers back in the day. He is awesome. It's good to see younger people enjoying it too.
One of my favorite songs from this insanily talented man. ❤ Love from Australia!
The drummer on this recording is Jeff Porcaro, the most recorded studio drummer through the 70's, 80's and further...he was the drummer for the group Toto..Jeff and his Toto band mates helped write and played on the Thriller album for Quincy and Micheal Jackson... just a little background.. enjoyed the reaction guys!
Cool Info!
He was in the Doobie Brothers for about a decade. Not Toto.
@Sean Mandell Jeff Porcaro was the only drummer Toto had until his death in 1992.. wasn't talking about MIcheal McDonald ....
@@seanmandell3613 you’re right
@@txtamaman my bad. I missed that. Is cool information
Once you hear Michael McDonald you never unhear him. His voice is in the background of tons of great songs as well as his Doobie Brothers and solo projects.
Doobie
One of the few recognizable distinct voices in music history 🥰
This is it by Kenny Loggins. Even though McDonald helped write it, you definitely hear him in the backing vocals.
@@nosirrahm Oh yeah -- GREAT TUNE! Michael's right there in that gorgeous bridge!
He did the background background vocals on Steely Dan's Peg. One of the most underated songs out there.
Ahh.. What you won't do...! That tune bangs in every Genre, language and style. RIP Bobby 🙏🏽💕
I just love watching you all.....music brings us all together....
All our heads and shoulders swaying, feelin it.....thank you guys❤❤❤
Omg I love you guys! I'm a disabled veteran and don't have much to smile about. You guys make me smile!
I am 53 and I grew up with this song. Loved it and loved that y’all liked it too! Love the dancing!
Oh my days ❤❤❤❤
I agree! These guys are great…and the music itself is pure magic!😊 It’s amazing how music can have an effect on us all! Thanks for your service, Elisa…Happy (almost) Veteran’s Day!
Thank you for your sacrifice and service. ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for serving! 🇺🇸
You guys are so fun to watch. The talent in the bands of the 70s can not be matched.
Y'all make me so happy dancing with my music 🎶 Love your reactions always ❣️ You are all so handsome 🥰
Personally I think the bands and songs of the of the 70s but mostly the 80s are unmatched. I was born at the wrong time unfortunately and didn't get to enjoy the magic of that time.
Oh y'all didn't know...now ya know... yeah gon and jam wit it! Keep digging into the music of the 70s and 80s and be AMAZED 💯
This era had some real bangers.
"The blackest white folks I ever met." I done died with that. And the boy in blue feeling this sweet vibe. Dear Lord, how I love this video. Thank you for a much needed laugh and the memory of hearing a song I used to drive at night with my window down to.
Y’all are too funny!!
Yes indeed! I laughed the whole way through! Gotta love these guys!!
"These ain't no ordinary white people." 🤣
Me too! Really got my funny bone. Lol !
OMG! I’m a 71 year old who’s listened to Michael McDonald for 50 years. These guys kill me. The “Michael....Michael” in the beginning. 😳😂
Right!!!! that cracked me up too!
@@joyr.1238 😂😎
it's all good :)
I love how their faces scrunch up when they start to feel the vibe!
I’m 47 and I have loved this song since I was a child! This is so absolutely awesome that y’all are enjoying it! Much love ❤
It’s not often that a song gets all four of you to dance like this, love it. This song is a jam.
“These the blackest white folks I ever met.” Had me laughing!! 😂
Thank you for your video and love the groove you guys had while listening. 👋🏼
😂❤😊
A song This Much is True by
Spando Ballet. has a line about
Listening to Marvin all night long.
Marvin Gaye.American Musicians
reflect each other.
Start back at One is a Country Music
and an R&B hit.The Greedy and Power Hungry want people separated.
Music and sports stadiums
have all colors .
😂😂
Yep-I hollered at that too!
@@cherylwade264 The power of music… bringing people together. 🥰 Love it! I have quite the eclectic playlist. 😁
You Guy's are AWESOME!! Welcome to Michael Mcdonald, one of the GREATS!!! enjoy guys. UK.
I wasn't expecting the smiles & Lord help I laughed SOOOO hard @ the young man on the right dancing & totally appreciating the sound! It was a MAGICAL time in music! I had such fun watching this! Keep it coming!🥰🥰🥰
'Man's Marvin Gaye!' Hilarious- thank you! Michael McDonald has one of the best, most distinctive voices - a legend, for sure.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾❤️
Yessss, he cracked me up when he said that.
The only thing better for this old lady appreciating this song again is watching you young men getting to hear it for the FIRST time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
Right?!? The song and reaction is great!
Wasn’t it great? It made my whole day! ❤
Absolutely right! They are dancing and having a great time! My favorite song that Michael McDonald sings is “Real Love” with The Doobie Brothers and “On My Own” with Patti Labelle! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕😎😎😎😎
You guys are too funny, half no all the songs you grew up with started in OUR generation...love that you love it!
I'm glad you guys know great music when you hear it!!! Love this song!!!
I'm a stagehand and worked one of his tours a few years ago. I got to help set up his piano for the show. He's still got the chops; it was a great show.
50 yr old woman here. I just introduced my 18 yr old daughter to this channel. So proud of y’all for giving old school music a chance. It’s the best.
❤️
Y’all crack me up! So fun to watch y’all discover these tunes. ❤️
You guys crack me up!! Saw Michael 1978 when he was with the Doobie Brothers.❤😂
Michael's speaking vioice is also beautiful. His voice is miraculous, not to mention he is also a seriously nice, humble person.
love him❤
Miraculous is exactly the right word. Yes, influenced by African American singers, but a sound all his own, instantly recognizable, so musical, so soulful, truly beautiful.
@@stellabandante2727 yes
“Miraculous”? That weird falsetto noise coming out of his mouth? It’s torture. The guy had great hair, though.
Saw him some years ago on a cruise full of bands from the 70s.
Michael is one of the greatest lead singers AND one of the greatest backup singers.
Joni Mitchell's "Good Friends", Dog Eat Dog's opening track and first single. Mitchell's choice of Michael McDonald on vocals. The video of Good Friends is very creative with Joni and her then bass playing husband, Larry Klein (producer of many singer's albums) together. To me the video is very reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" video. Pretty different and cool video for the timez!
Michael also does background vocals on the song "Tax Free" off the same album.
I love how humble he is to be a backup singer. He is amazing.
Yes this is a wicked tune I Love it 🥰
You young men are such a joy to watch. I love some of your reactions to music I listen to when I was young. ❤
This is proof that we have young people with good taste, who know how to appreciate quality music. Very good guys❤
72 years old .... This guy can't not only sing but he has a unique soulful feel to his voice
can not only......
Yaaaaa! His voice is SMOOOTH! That boys from Ferguson Missouri - my home town! So much heart and soul in that place:) Broke my heart to see whats happened there since that cop murdered one of our children - Michael Brown. God bless all Gods children and thanks u guys for keepin these classiscs alive!! ☮️💜
“These are the blackest white folks I EVER met!” 😂😂 Love watching you groove to this awesome song! MM has been called “blue eyed soul”. One of my fav voices and artists of all time!
You young guys are restoring my hope for this generation. Not only are you listening to this music you are enjoying and appreciative of its influence on today's music. Keep it up. Old head from Donalsonville, LA
Just saw Michael back in September he was touring with the doobie brothers on their 50th anniversary tour he sounds just as good now as he did back then.. such a smooth voice.
Agreed 👍
i wish i was there
Good to know! Wish I could’ve heard it!
❤ It’s so beautiful to see young men such as yourselves listening to music of my time. Such a blessing to open young minds to music of the past! Can appreciate different genres! Nice
Just love the facial expressions & moves of the guy in grey . Could watch him all day !!!
So nice to see you young guys enjoying this. This where most of your today's rappers get their music samples from our music. This is one of my favorite songs. I'm 50 yrs old now but grew up on this good music.
Yesssss!!! Back when sampling other music was a compliment and allowed, I loved the earliest of rap music, it was super fun and those beats they'd sample... effin awesome. Miss it.
Me too.I'm 52 and this song will never fade,everyone who has had a break-up can relate to this song.
