    Mike was lead singer of the Doobies for years. He went solo after that. He’s one of the most soulful singers- check him out with Patti LaBelle on” On My Own”. ❤
    What A Fool Believes, This is It with Kenny Loggins, Takin It to the Streets- all timeless MM classics!
    Mike is from Ferguson , MO! He’s one of our national treasures.
    Also- Mike and James Ingram on “ Yah Mo B There”! ❤❤❤❤

    When Michael says, "I'd like to join the club and say it's a pleasure to be up here with the best record producer ever," he's referring to Chet Atkins, who plays the electric acoustic guitar toward the end of the song. Chet was a legendary guitarist and record producer for RCA Victor. The other guitarist on the full electric guitar is Mark Knopfler. The singers are David Pack, the legendary Everly Brothers, and the female is country legend, Emmylou Harris. This was recorded at a "Tribute to Chet Atkins" concert at Nashville's Vanderbilt University back in 1987.

    The lead female backup singer is Emmylou Harris in this video. I didn't know she sang with him. She's got an amazing voice and career that includes songs with Dolly Parton, and many other greats. Also, in the early 90s, this baseline was sampled in the song "Regulate" or "Regulators" by I think it was Warren G.

Lyrics are usually easier to hear on studio versions too. But I'm still happy that Michael is invited to the BBQ anyway, lol.

    Michael McDonald has several hits of his own. He also made an album called MOTOWN, which covered many R&B Hits. Enjoy 😎👍

    That man can SANG!!! Blue-eyed soul gets me every single time. Now... talking about this special brand of soul, might we return to George Michael because I'm not sure he's been officially inducted. I'm going to just give you my faves. If you need to do it live, check if it's in his Unplugged performance.
    A Different Corner(my personal fave song, ever, by any artist)
    Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me with Elton John
    Jesus To A Child: (written about his partner that died from AIDS related complications, his entire album, Older, is dedicated to him) There are 2 versions of this song. One is the full version which clocks in at 6:48. The shorter radio edit comes in at 4:44. If you do pick, I'm begging please overlook 48 seconds?
    Fast Love: Different side of the same coin as song above. These are both about his lost love, Anselmo. Shows two of the ways grief can make you act or react.
    Freedom 90 (Video is STUNNING! TOP models of 90's featured. It's an autobiographical song, watch his video for Faith first and at least one Wham! video to put the lyrics into better context)
    Monkey
    Praying For Time
    Somebody To Love (from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. He KILLED it. )
    Outside (Personally love this one just for the sheer balls shown by making a song about his own arrest)
    Careless Whisper aka That sexy baby making sax solo song.
    White Light (Which to be honest, since his death, breaks my heart every single time, as does Last Christmas because he died on Christmas 2016)
    Waiting For That Day
    Older
    Heal The Pain
    As with Mary J Blige. Stevie Wonder cover.
    I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) his duet with Aretha Franklin.
    (He was a powerful duet partner. He knew how to let the others shine, from Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, he actually covered Stevie' work extensively, either in concert live or recorded for albums, Paul McCartney, the list is impressive.)

    One of my favorite songs of all time. Check out his duet song with James Ingram called "Yah mo' be there".

    He's from St Louis and he grew up playing and watching shows at the legendary Club Imperial in St Louis, where everyone from Chuck Berry to Miles Davis to Ike and Tina Turner with a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar jammed.

    I love seeing ppl smile when they hear a good song! This song it definitely a good one. He is not using any particular style while singing but he has a baritone voice. Maybe that what you are asking? And that dance you did? Love it!

    Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald duet. It’s a music video split screen. You can really hear his voice come to life. Be prepared to get the 😳 when he comes in, on this song. 🎧 He also sings backup on over a dozen songs from Kenny Loggins to Christopher Cross. Check out Christopher Cross’ Ride Like The Wind.

    MM has an unforgettable voice that s true. Personally, I like his early song It Keeps Me Running ( 1976 ) by the Doobies. Like so many - most everyone likes most every song he s done. He s so talented and has a good soulful voice. He s well known and well respected in the music world. Can t ever go wrong listening to anything from him.

    Sweet Freedom is one of my favorites by Michael McDonald. Hope you get to that one, if you haven't already. It was the theme song to a movie called Running Scared (Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines - 1986).

    "Sweet Freedom" is one of Michael McDonald's most infectious grooves, IMO, and highly underrated. I don't know that it'll land him in the PDC. It's not really that type of song, but it's definitely worth a listen!

    Chet Atkins on Spanish Guitar and the greatest producer! Mark Knopfler on lead guitar (white Strat) and Emmylou Harris was the female backup singer. I'm sure the rest of the band were all-stars as well, but I can't name them all.

    Blue eyed soul…Bobby Caldwell-“What You Won’t Do, Do For Love”. THE OFFICIAL VIDEO! And, you won’t believe your eyes when you see the face with the voice. & Michael Bolton-“How Am I Supposed To Live Without You” THE OFFICIAL VIDEO. Britt, you are watching some videos that are concert footage from 20-30 years after these songs were released. The vocals change, the bands change…it’s not the same. Watch the official video first, then if there’s a great live version you will hear it in the comments. But, you are not listening to the best versions most of the time. Seriously.

  • @TW-me4lw

    Michael was everywhere in the music of the 70’s and 80’s. You can pick out his unique voice on a multitude of albums during those years. His solo albums are all fantastic. Can’t go wrong with any pick.

    If you want more Michael, then try reacting to "Taking it to the Streets" with him and the Doobie Brothers !
    Micheal has earned 5 Grammies and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 along with the Doobie Brothers ! 🇨🇦

    Hi Britt! Back in the day we use to go to concerts with big name line ups like you suggested and the tickets were only $4.50 if you bought in advance, $5.50 day of show! It was a phenomenal time to be a concert junkie, we loved every minute but never had enough time to see them all. ☮️ ❤️ 🎶 🎸 🎶
