    I'm in the Grandpa position now. I love turning my Grandbabies on to the good music. They can't believe they made this music without computers. I do it old school. They dig thru the vinyl and they get to experience an old school 750 watts of Pioneer stereo. I got an old dude man cave. Lava lamps, black lights, strobes. Old school!!

      I'm Alright. Written by Kenny Loggins. The live video in the 1980s barely shows Eddie Money. They had a falling out. 😖😖
      Other songs Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins wrote are 1 What a Fool Believes. Won 🏆 a Grammy for Original Song. 2 This Is It.

    This song was Michael McDonald's very first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as a solo artist. The song not only peaked at the #4 spot and it also peaked at the #7 spot on the Billboard Soul chart as well during the early fall of 1982. By the way, the female backup vocal on this song was Michael McDonald's sister, Maureen McDonald.

    On My Own with Patti is a GREAT video!!!!!!❤
    There are lots of GREAT MM vids where he’s playing live with the Doobs. “ Takin It to the Streets”.
    You better get on it with Steely Dan- the most sophisticated band to ever rock out in a funky way and more sampled than anyone! Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq sampled their Black Cow.
    MM sang harmonies with them - “ Peg”.
