Can you please react to Brian Wilson presents SMiLE? I’ve been asking for a while, and the album will blow you socks off. You are truly missing out on a great one Jamal
Nice but if you want to hear AAA+ vocals check out The Dells "Stay in my Corner' . I'm going to keep trying to get this Reaction out. People need to hear this To quote James Brown "Please, Please, Please" Hurry I'm gettin' old. Jamel could you please give your reaction to what I believe is the greatest singing group of all time . Better than the Temptations, better than the 4 tops, better than Harold Melvin, The stylistics, the Manhattans and the list goes on. They are the Dells. Just listen and tell us what you think. I guarantee you WILL be blown away. They played together for 59 years and had many hits. 'Stay in my Corner" ruclips.net/video/iX3cOtmyyOc/видео.html
I've met Michael and worked with him a few times in the studio (I'm a session bassist) and he is the MOST quiet, humble, and damned shy performer I've EVER had the privilege of working with.
This was so special. I don't know how long after this performance that we lost James. It was a love event. Even Michael's wife was one of the blond backup singers (the far right). Glad you reacted to this awesome duet.
Kim Carnes is singing backup, too. I forgot what it was called, but this was some big concert thing. Bobby Caldwell (What You Won't Do For Love) was there too as well as David Pack from Ambrosia. When they weren't performing one of their own songs, they were singing backup or playing in the backup band.
This was from the special Michael McDonald A Gathering Of Friends., (2001). He also sings with Kenny Loggins (he messed up the lyrics to one song and couldn't stop laughing) Patti LaBelle, Christopher Cross, and The Dokbies, among others. Great show!
You've became my favorite to watch ..among all these reaction videos. Youre by FAR the most genuine. Your love of music and the unadulterated joy you get from it is unmistakable.
When you stop and think that in all of the world, these two gifted men were born at a time when the technology was available for their art to thrive, and then they were able to get together and perform like this...we are fortunate to have had them do this, and have it recorded for posterity to have and come back to when we need it.
2 legends giving the people what we want. 😌 If you haven't yet, you must hear James Ingram sing "100 ways" and his duet with Patti Austin, "How do you keep the music playing" Tks Jamal for your always genuine reaction 💕
1) That is David Pack from Ambrosia singing backup vocals - right! 2) Steve Gladd the drummer from Steely Dan's Aja track !!! 3) Nathan East on bass guitar WOW!
James Ingram, what a voice! Soul and passion overload. Jamel you should react to his great “I Don’t Have the Heart” which really displays his vocal ability
Please do. James Ingram was one of the musical loves of my life. That voice is so very beautiful. "I Don't Have The Heart " is his very best! Rest well in Heaven, James.
This whole concert was amazing! So many great performers and musicians coming together to celebrate Michael. If you get a chance, watch the whole thing.
Sometimes we get the chance to really hear great music again. Bringing back the great music and the great singers. Fast or slow, smooth or rough as long as it's great I feel so lucky to see and hear the way it was - AGAIN.
Holy cow, this takes me back to my childhood. With my parent's musical taste, neither of these two gentlemen were strangers around my house. Wow. Nate Dogg was another singer with a voice like butter, he's so missed. He was the cherry on top of every song he collabed on.
The 3rd member of that trifecta is singing in the background, David Pack from Ambrosia. You cant get much more talent on one stage. Check out the 3 singing Maria from West Side Story likely at this same event. They absolutely slayed that classic. Suprised? No, you arent. You expect no less from these Heaven sent talents.
Had to go find “Biggest Part of Me” after your comment. 👍🏼 David wrote that song in less than 15 minutes while waiting for his family to get in the car haha. Huge song for my life. ❤
So. Two things. First, I laid my father to rest last week. He was a member of an evangelical charismatic church, whereas I'm more mainstream. So this song sort of bridges the two styles and makes my heart feel better. Second, people don't give a lot of credit to 'white boy funk', the Doobs, Grand Funk Railroad, Wild Cherry, etc. and I think that's kind of unfair. While these bands weren't Parliament or Lakeside, they could hold up well to the Ohio Players and War. Not everybody can be Bootsie Collins, and the world would be a much sillier place if anybody tried, but Micheal MacDonald has definitely made a contribution.
Had a chance to meet him in Germany during the mid 1980's at a Prince Hall Masonic function. I stood out to him, because at that time not too many white men were in that predominately black Masonic body. At this time he was all the rage because of hits that were banging several years prior. He's real regular. Good people. And, yes, my brother can blow! What energy on and off stage!
Man, this was hot!!! I just realized 40 some odd years later, this is a Christian Gospel song. Yah (the Almighty GOD'S name YAH or YAWEH) will be there. Incredible. 🤦🏽♂️
Holy heck that's Nathan East the Beast Slaying it on the Bass! Man he a bad dude just like listen to those killer bass lines on this Live Song. Dude is in the Pocket 😎🔥
This is from the Michael McDonald and Friends DVD. ITS packed with great collabs ,J!!!! Kenny Loggins and Patti LaBelle are on it too. The blonde singer with straight hair is Mike’s wife, Amy.
I saw James Ingram around 2002 in Atlanta on the smooth jazz circuit with Dave Koz, Brian Culbertson and David Benoit. It was phenomenal! I left that building floating on a cloud! ☁️🎶
Jamal could you play some old stuff when the Doobie Brothers were still together and playing their big hits in concert if you can that would be Great, loved them when I was a young kid back in the early to late 70's. Don't care which of their hits you play cause I think all their songs were Great!!!! Thank you! 🤗👍 Your reaction video's are the best!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@nickimontie Right on Nicki, one of my favorites also, Jesus is alright with me to this day had that song on my Doobies greatest hits Lp original vinal and on a few of their other albums. Brings back great memories as a kid. Never wore my hair that long but definitely remember those early to mid 70's Hippie days as a young kid!!!!! Jesus is just alright with me man!!!!!! Peace Brothers!!!!!✌️✌️✌️Right Jamal!!! Peace Out!!!!!😅🤣😂✌️👍
Did you see David Pack of Ambrosia there? He, James and Michael do a gorgeous rendition of Maria from West Side Story in this concert. The whole show- Michael McDonald and Friends is fantastic!
I've always loved Michael ever since the Doobie Brothers, and of course his solo stuff, BUT he's a home boy from the Lou ;0 . I like some of James tunes too.
Pretty sure that is David Pack of Ambrosia on guitar behind James Ingram and also Kim Carnes singing backup (blonde in the middle). They all worked together on numerous projects!
James Ingram have many great ballads. Sometimes you get more from watching live performances, takes things to another level of High Energy. Such great voices. You must see or react to another great collaboration from 1985, Patti Labelle & Cyndi Lauper on Patti Show both singing Lady marmalade & Time after time , awesome!
you need to watch this whole concert on dvd , its a great concert with many guests performing with michael mcdonald !!, right after this song they sing again together with song maria from the movie west side story !!

After all these years, I didn't know this song was about The Almighty! I was a little girl when it came out. I loved the song, but didn't know it was about Him. Wow, so cool! 😁
Definitely funkier..James used to be a funk only vocalist before Quincy Jones convinced him that he needs to sing ballads.. James also wrote PYT for Michael Jackson among other songs.. RIP

@@willyg7491 I’ve been requesting SMiLE for like a month. I’m not sure if he sees these ones
@@cjm-jr9xk I know he must be getting a lot of reaction request. Let's just keep on try'in.
@@willyg7491 I am. I just really hopes that he sees these because he really is missing out on some great music. Have you ever listened to SMiLE?
I've met Michael and worked with him a few times in the studio (I'm a session bassist) and he is the MOST quiet, humble, and damned shy performer I've EVER had the privilege of working with.
I hope I'm wrong, but I cannot imagine the current generation of singers being able to perform at this level in 15 years.
They can't perform near this level NOW. 15yrs from now it will be done with lip-sync from someone else. Remember Milli-Vanilli?
This was so special. I don't know how long after this performance that we lost James. It was a love event. Even Michael's wife was one of the blond backup singers (the far right). Glad you reacted to this awesome duet.

James Ingram & Michael McDonald, his wife and and the McDonald sisters along with exceptionally talented band. Amazing gift, RIP MR. INGRAM
Those two voices together are fantastic Soulfully Delicious.R.I.P.
James Ingram.You are missed.Gone but not forgotten.
Just a feel good song with 2 great voices ( RIP James Ingram ). Delivered with such awesome sentiment. !! Bringing so many memories 👏❤️🇬🇧
One of my fave voices of my 60 years of life...love James and Michael both...great singer, writers,m usicians
Jamel, thanks for playing this fantastic collaboration. 💕It.
Two of the most powerfully incredible voices that will ever be,autotune please! Fantastic!!!! Great choice!
Come on now. How can anyone not like this. This is pure talent
You've became my favorite to watch ..among all these reaction videos. Youre by FAR the most genuine. Your love of music and the unadulterated joy you get from it is unmistakable.
James and Michael - perfect match✌

Wow, voices that were meant for each other.
James Ingram and Patti Austin "Baby Come to Me".R.I.P.James Ingram.
So glad to see you doing a James Ingram song. R.I.P.
1) That is David Pack from Ambrosia singing backup vocals - right! 2) Steve Gladd the drummer from Steely Dan's Aja track !!! 3) Nathan East on bass guitar WOW!
Yes indeed what a band!! Kim Carnes on backup as well. THAT IS AN ALL STAR BAND!!!
Jamel, listen off the same DVD, "Maria" that song features all 3 vocalists, David, Michael and James. Great harmonies.
Nathan East is a bad brother 😎
He also did a duet with Wendy Moten in this concert. Aint no love to be found, ftom his album Blue Obsession
Wow, I've never seen this performance. Thank you!
I think this is one of Michael McDonald’ best collaborations, IMO. Just saying. I love it 🥰.
This duet is phenomenal. Underrated rnb classic.
Also on background vocals was David Pack (Ambrosia)
So good!!
James and Michael, two of the greatest voices ever! And how about the fantastic bass line from the great Nathan East!
James Ingram, what a voice! Soul and passion overload. Jamel you should react to his great “I Don’t Have the Heart” which really displays his vocal ability

Who, Michael McDonald or James Ingram?
Vocal match in heaven. Genius to put them together
Love this and love your reaction. Those are two of the greatest voices on earth! I'm not worthy!!!
I weep every time I watch this, or the official video. It goes straight to my heart. Well written and performed. ❤
“If I get the set, will you throw in the DVD?”
“If you don’t get the set, I’ll throw in the DVD!”
Man, this was hot!!! I just realized 40 some odd years later, this is a Christian Gospel song. Yah (the Almighty GOD'S name YAH or YAWEH) will be there. Incredible. 🤦🏽♂️
Lol I didn't know either.
They have such similar voices they sound like brothers from a different mother!
Flawless. Great performance of a very good and underrated song.
It is sad that this style of music is not a thing anymore and you only hear it from the old artists.
cuz it takes a whole heck of a lot of talent, hard work...and humility...these 2 brothers have this in spades!!!!
James' health was declining at this time. But he hung in there and pulled it off.
Now that was a performance!!! 😍
Holy heck that's Nathan East the Beast Slaying it on the Bass! Man he a bad dude just like listen to those killer bass lines on this Live Song. Dude is in the Pocket 😎🔥

My 2 favorite Doobie Brothers songs are Jesus is Just Alright (which he already reacted to) and South City Midnight Woman, which he needs to do!
They’re on tour right now, I hear.
@@nickimontie Right on Nicki, one of my favorites also, Jesus is alright with me to this day had that song on my Doobies greatest hits Lp original vinal and on a few of their other albums.

Every stage musician years for that moment when the veil of separation is lifted, temporarily, by the music
Michael's cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" is incomparable.
Hey Jamel, when you join in the sing, it sounded like an extra level of harmony, very nice.
Rocking in 2021 baby!!!
James Ingram have many great ballads. Sometimes you get more from watching live performances, takes things to another level of High Energy. Such great voices.

i can’t hear this song without thinking of the American Dad episode
After all these years, I didn't know this song was about The Almighty! I was a little girl when it came out. I loved the song, but didn't know it was about Him. Wow, so cool! 😁
YES YES YES!!! THANK YOU THANKYOU THANK YOU!!!!
Saw Michael about 4 years ago here in Reno. But I think it was 2 years ago he was touring with Chaka Khan. Sorry I missed THAT one.
amazing talent. amazing.
One of my all time favorites ❤💯🔥
Love it , love it, love it!!
Fabulous! Love it! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
I still love this song..
Thanks for this live version. I really like it when you react to the studio version and then do the live version.
Good live version and i can tell Jamel has a big soft spot for Michael McDonald 😎
I caught that to . He should reach out to him and let him know he is a big fan. Have to admit been listening to MM for years and I am black also.
This always reminds me of 40 yo Virgin. "If I have to listen to this Michael McDonald dvd one more time yamo burn this place down"
Right? 😂😂😂
What a tune 👌 amazing as ever.
The long version of this song is called "Correct, I Will Be In Attendance On That Evening."
Great artist find of Mr.Q Jones James R.I.P.
This was GREAT!
Jamel I hope you checked out this special it is wonderful!!! Smile it's contagious😊❤ love your reaction❤
Love this tune.
❤ Never be lonely lost in the night
Whooooo

Definitely funkier..James used to be a funk only vocalist before Quincy Jones convinced him that he needs to sing ballads.. James also wrote PYT for Michael Jackson among other songs.. RIP
Love this song!
The one woman,. That I am really jealous of. Amy Holland. She has a beautiful smile.
Love this song RIHP James
Wow finally a James Ingram !!!
Day Made !!! Thankyou !!! I knew you would live this. :-)
Yah'mean B. There! That's got some good funk sauce rubbed all over it!!!
He was there the whole time hahahahaha you crack me up.
Jamel please visit the video with Michael’s McDonald, James Ingram and randy Paxton singing “Maria”. It’s crazy good!!!!!
So funny that this song was in 40 year-old virgin. Great song.
