Dionne Warwick & Michael McDonald | SOLID GOLD | “I’ll Never Love This Way Again & I Keep Forgettin”

[@TDgeekolo]

Oh yes, thank you for uploading this. Been waiting for this for the longest time. The arrangement was brilliantly genius.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Thank you for your kind words about my arrangement, and I’m glad you enjoyed the duet. Someone else had posted it some years ago, but the audio and video quality was not very good, so I’m glad I found my own videotape of it, which is a pretty decent quality even though it’s 35 years old!

[@jasonburger3533]

@@bigeyezzzzzzz I should say so, Michael!!! Back in the 1980s it had been said that VHS videotape or even Betamax videotape would break down over long periods of time. Well, 35 years is a testament to the staying power of videotape. You must have stored them well.

[@Linda77336]

My pleasure what a beautiful piece I listen to it most days 🙏🏻❤️

[@Pastore-cx9qe]

Finally! Dionne fans, she is finally getting her long overdue Kennedy Center Honors!!! 🎉

[@retrorhythms]

I'm surprised at how seamlessly these two classics with very different feels were melded together. Dionne and Michael made for a uniquely enchanting combination!

[@TheDivayenta]

You just don’t hear harmonies much anymore in current popular music. This was wonderful- two of the greatest singers ever.

[@FaithMacchia-ei7gp]

Love 💕 so much 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️somehow sounds even better now - in 2023 ‼️❤️❤️

[@swerne01]

Two stupendous voices. I could listen to them sing all day.

[@michaelwarren7962]

This woman! Who could she not sing well with? And that ending is everything: 🎼 "I keep forgetting that I'll never love this way again." 🎶 Brilliant! And to think she could have recorded "On My Own" with Mr. Blue-Eyed Soul himself, Michael McDonald.

[@Ronald-hx5ob]

Dionne can harmonize with anybody. Beautiful!

[@SQDLVR]

Thanks for this post. I remember watching it with my Dad and he said they should have cut an album together and he would have bought it.

[@TDgeekolo]

1:26 Dionne was absolutely living for that "hold on baby" by Michael. So good.

[@marilynnjacobsen1077]

Miss those days when we had love songs that were with real talented singers.

[@damnitbobby536]

[@rabahlaggoune1779]

Dionne Warwick Always in control, she has it under her feet, but calm, absolute class.

[@987WFGR]

Are you kidding me? These 2 together and that arrangement is pure gold.. no pun intended. fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Thank you…and you’re very welcome!!

[@andibahri751]

The arrangement was from another planet, all the part of my body is jaming and dancing out of my mind

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Thank you - that was my intention!!

[@damnitbobby536]

I was amazed at michael mcdonalds voice growing up when I first heard him as a toddler i thought he was black till this day it still resonates.

[@dougpatasky8426]

Wow ,what pair of voices 2 of my favorites.....

[@markpfotenhauer6222]

Yes I have to concur!! Probably one of the best collaborations on here. So soulful and yet.. effortless. Thanks Michael❣️ -Mark-

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

You are very welcome, sir!

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

And to have Biilly D introduce you is a plus

[@Byran_Earl]

1:24 my temperature rose. There voices are so compatible. Michael voice never disappoints.

[@jasonburger3533]

The blending of the musical ensembles on "Solid Gold" was an unexpected, but brilliant, part of the music having magic part. As musical director, you were like a "musical magician," and often participating even more directly than the usual backstage efforts, as here, with keyboards. It all came together so well!!! The finished product was so polished that it shined like gold...Solid Gold.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Thank you, sir. The music certainly does have magic, but it takes a bunch of really good musicians to make it seem like I’m some sort of magician! All I did was wave my wand around and they did all the hard work! 🤗

[@jasonburger3533]

@@bigeyezzzzzzz You are welcome. The "Solid Gold" band, whether the early in the series Dionne Warwick band or the band that you had put together, were an excellent group of musicians and the backup singers were as well. The entire show and every production and performance within was an ensemble, with each person having fit nicely as vital components of a product that became a well-polished product. Under your direction, they were the best music show band on television.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]
