    This song came out when I was in college. I listened to it for days after I my girlfriend and I broke up. Here's a bit of trivia...they recorded their parts before the ever met face to face. The song wasn't written as a duet. The writers, Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, recorded a backing track (a record of the song without vocals). Ms. Patti sang her vocals to that track. They later asked Michael McDonald to contribute to the song. They weren't even in the same city to film the video. That added to the "Feel" of a relationship falling apart.

    They were on opposite sides of the Country, Patti recording her part in NYC, and Michael McDonald recording his part in L.A. This is reflected in the scenes of the video... This was quite ground-breaking at the time, especially a portrayal of an interracial relationship.. quite a bold position for both the artists, and the Record company to take, considering it was 1986... Masterpiece!!

    • @ProdigyBowlersTour
      @ProdigyBowlersTour 2 года назад +24

      Ground breaking...if you consider the fact that almost 20 years had passed since the Supreme Court's ruling in the landmark Loving v. Virginia case that made interracial marriage legal in this country. But yes, I get it. America tends to move verrrrrrry slow on most things. Especially things relating to race. Sad, but true.

      I was there when the song came out, the racial aspect had little surprise or ground-breaking to it since MANY bands had members of different races since the 60's, and lots of people intermingled.
      MAYBE, just maybe if you were in the DEEP SOUTH in 'bigoted/prejudiced/racist territories' it may have been a thing.
      Jim Crow was ended 20 years prior.
      I'm tired of people making like The United States of America was still like it was in 1786 in 1986.
      And today's racial narrative of WS everywhere, by the MSM and DEMS, is BS.
      I've yet to see one in real life.
      They are so few it's not worth talking about.

    Patti is known for blowing people out of the water when singing LIVE. This song does not show that. Plus Michael is an extraordinarily strong singer. I recommend Patti and Cindi Laupers classic duet of Time after Time which is Cyndi Laupers single. It can be found on ..you tube as a video from a Patti Labelle special. . .

    Michael McDonald was in the Doobie brothers before he went solo. His voice seems to just blend with anyone very easy. In the early to mid 80s it seemed like he was on every slow song made somewhere in the background. "I keep forgetting" was probably his biggest hit as a solo artist. But many duets with legends like Aretha Franklin and James Ingram.

    You should listen to Michael McDonald sing TAKING IT TO THE STREETS. His soulful voice gives the music an urgency it would otherwise lack. As for miss Labelle, this duet came during her heyday in the 8o's along with her hot dance number, NEW ATTITUDE.
    You might do a comparison of her original hit of LADY MARMALADE and later cover featuring, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Mya, 'Lil Kim & Missy Elliott. Both camps have their favorites. It would be interesting to see which one you guys prefer.
    Also, Michael McDonald deserves a solo listen with his mourning after heartbreak revelation, I KEEP FORGETTING.

    This is one of the best duets every recorded. Now that you've heard it, let's move on. Take a listen to the Tedeschi-Trucks Band "Midnight In Harlem".. ruclips.net/video/6GkdCiqsFUI/видео.html

    She has so many songs, but “If You Asked Me To” is amazing. Celine Dion covered this after Patti - I prefer Patti’s version!

      That song is so special. She watched one of her sisters succumb to cancer in the hospital, then shot the video the same day. I know damn well that I would never have the strength to do that.

    The Bluebelles, Labelle & Patti solo are 3 rabbit holes you will love, 60 yrs of hits! There is nothing she can't sing. The Bluebelles were formed in the 60s. The harmonies of Patti, Nona Hendryx & Sarah Dash are unmatched on any Labelle track. We can thank Labelle for the futuristic costumes that KISS wore. KISS's manager called their manager & used their costume designer the legendary Larry LeGaspi. Patti performed The Acid Queen with The Who, video on YT. She the epitome of versatility. Powerhouse vocalist.

    There are SPECIAL Singers that come along only once in a while and Patty is most definitely one of these as her voice is sooo Powerful ! I've seen other famous singers do a duet with her ,standing by her side ,but when she really lets that voice go ,they have to move slowly away from her a little bit as her voice is so loud and powerful ,you can't say that about many ,but her yes !

    I would love to know who the arranger producer of this magic was. In the eighties you were usually in studio with musicians, back ground singers and the artist/artists. These two were actually on two separate coasts singing their separate parts. This arrangement was an incredible duet, especially in this time. Absolutely love both of them together and in their singles career. No one belts it out like my Patty. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

    Two legendary singers from the 70’s and 80’s. I remember when this song came out they did seem like an odd match. It just shows how magical it can be when you combine two great singers from totally different genres of music. Great review guys love this song.

    You already reacted to "What a Fool Believes", so you've heard Michael McDonald who is in this song. There is no mistaking Michael's voice. He is also on Christopher Cross' song "Ride Like the Wind"

    • @MichaelTScott-wb4di
      @MichaelTScott-wb4di 2 года назад

      I was just about to make the same comment. His lead on the Doobie's "Takin It To The Streets" is platinum. And he was everywhere in the 70's and 80's: doing backing vocals for Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, Toto, etc. Very distinct and tough to miss!

    Patti's a piece of work, isn't she! Now PLEASE LISTEN to Morgan James with Postmodern Jukebox covering Steven Tyler's "Dream On". She and PMJ absolutely slay the song - she was trained in opera at Juilliard and then went on to musical theater and now sings R&B and covers many songs to great effect. Then react to The Warning, a power trio formed by three sisters who are taking the You Tube and concert trail by storm! Listen to their songs "Choke" and "Evolve". This would be a Fantastic Female Friday!!! Please - you are missing something spectacular that I have now suggested at least 50 times and many agree with me, y'all!!!!! Be there or be square!!

    Oh I LOVE Michael McDonald! Not just the really unique timbre of his voice, but the incredible licks and runs that are so full of blues and soul. A really great R&B singer. Before going solo, he was in Steely Dan for a while, and then the Doobie Brothers, two of my favorite bands. Great songs, beautifully arranged and wonderfully executed. Have you guys done Steely Dan?

    The presentation is split because they actually recorded it in two different locations. They were not in the Studio together. Beautiful song.
