    Remember this is from a generation of musicians where there was no auto-tune, no computers. You had to work in the studio until you got it right to the point where if somebody heard it live they couldn't tell the difference from the recording.

    The interesting thing about this song -- which is another gem from the Doobie Brothers hitmaking in the late 1970's, a new one every four months -- is that Michael is singing lyrics which are about half speed compared to the music bumping-along tempo. It's sort of hypnotic in that the blend works! It draws listeners in and gets their shoulders and hips bumping.

    Mike is definitely great.

    I believe Carly Simon recorded "It Keeps You Runnin" first and had her own hit with this song and then the Doobie Brothers did their own version with the song and had a hit as well. If you haven't explored Carly Simon yet, you should: "Haven't got Time for the Pain", "You're so Vain", "That's the Way I've always heard it should be", "Anticipation". Of course the Doobies have hits that weren't even radio hits, just great musicians with Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald in various eras of the Doobies.

    To me, the oddest pairing was when Warner Bros. Records music producer Ted Templeman got Michael McDonald to co-write a song with David Lee Roth. The result was I'll Wait, the second single from the album 1984 by the mighty Van Halen. React to that song, you would never think those two would create such a monster hit in the 80s.

    Asia keyboard and organ. That’s his style. Go pull songs off Steely Dans AJA album and you will hear it. Same with Kenny Loggins Toto and Christopher Cross. You will hear Michael’s keyboard playing and background vocals. I used to use him and the doobies to work out to in the 70’s and 80’s. It really gave me peace of mind! 😎🔥💯

    but it’s one of my favorite from this amazing band.
