[@williamshoven]

Patti LaBelle - On My Own (Official Music Video) ft. Michael McDonald

[@wandamanning9198]

YESSSSS

[@lingoman1]

One of the greatest voices of our era. Such a talent!

[@TerryOnDemand]

Michael McDonald was the man back then❤

[@TheDivayenta]

Still is, Sis- check out him with Kenny Loggins and Thundercat on Show You the Way. You will DIE- it’s so beautiful. The video is very moving too about a wounded warrior.

[@fsanders2]

Man, y'all better ask somebody about Michael McDonald. That blue eyed soul is all that.

[@williamwilliam6714]

Micheal and Patti Labelle...on my own, again.

[@patriciadavis1393]

This song is timeless

[@hoosierdaddy5050]

he’s heart still hurts for her love - he is still in Love -despite her not being his any more-how she made it so clear- his heart still longs for her.

[@duaneclarke9891]

Michael McDonald - You belong to me

[@quinnhendley4031]

*"on my own" ~ THE duet of it's time ~ with the iconic miss patti labelle. **#yourewelcome*

[@dawgeral333]

His duet with Patti Labelle "On My Own" in an all-time classic.

[@theConquerersMama]

My step dad did arrangements and studio work. He kept playing this over and over and as a little kid I thought wow, what a happy tune for such ummm... Confusing lyrics. But that's the point isn't it?

[@KathyBlock-e6c]

My husand use to say everytime Michael mc came on the radio he could see my mouth water, he was right

[@tf-nq9rr]

Michael Mc Donald & James Ingram Yah mo be there.

[@clare1061]

He did a song with Patty Labelle called “on my own” those two voices together is pure heaven.

[@samsel209]

Try Bobby Caldwell What you won’t do for love…

[@selfingwithclare]

Gorgeous reaction to one of my favourite songs and voices. xx

[@Greenpeace465]

lol your all into the rhythm ... the lyrics are just as tight

[@clare1061]

The look on your face when you heard his voice is priceless.

[@lxhobson]

Michael McDonald has such a great voice: His tone is beautiful, and the power and control are incredible. And this is a great vehicle for him to show his vocal talents.

[@johneldridge8678]

Michael has a ton of soul!!!

[@KGCARO24]

You can’t help but to start moving when that jam plays.

[@pezmezsez9565]

Michael sang to our hearts & souls. Glad he did to yours too.

[@donnabruhn6907]

You always look like you are having a great time grooving to this smooth jam. Love real music

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

This man’s voice is unmistakable, you know exactly who it is as soon as he opens his mouth. He is smooth like butta. Which is why Warren G sampled this in regulators!

[@guineapig4701]

Beautiful man, beautiful voice.

[@1960317]

The late, great Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson slapping the bass guitar creating the funky groove that McDonald sing on top of.

[@robertatkinson4110]

It's almost like hearing it for the first time yourself! It really takes you back! It's like you just strapped into a time machine!

[@amberlaw9789]

OH!! YEAH MINUTE BY MINUTE! GREAT REACTION!!

[@tom9188]

With Patti LaBelle, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross and backings on so many in the 70s / 80s

[@cameraobscura2379]

Love Michael. That is a mature voice hitting all his register. He does not gIve af. HIis sister is the one laying down the straight underbeat: "I can't forget/Not in love anymore." This man could not fail with a voice like that. Still love him to this day.

[@berniec7134]

So many people never had any inclination that all music could be done by many musications. I grew up In the 60's and 70's and that's when groups and people had no idea other groups or individuals could do this. I grew up listening all types of music. I also grew up in town where color was no issue. Music transcended our lives. This is why music heals all people. Or I hope so...I was brought up to see a person's heart not their color. THANK YOU MOM, LOVE TO ALL.

[@gideonrafael]

Try Minute by Minute, Love Keeps You Running, Black Water, Long Train Running by the Doobie Bros - he was their lead singer for a while....

[@lindapowers8592]

Yessssssss

[@peteyn.y.7960]

Great songs. Long Train Runnin was done a few months back I believe 👍

[@vernacohen6988]

Saw them when Michael was with Doobies at Oakland Colosseum. They were on fire!

[@Vonnies1929]

Minute by minute!!!

[@danielolson5378]

If you wanna be picky Black Water and Long Train Runnin' were recorded pre Michael McDonald

[@TheDivayenta]

Mike just gave a live concert on Mandolin last Friday. He’s as incredible as ever. Twon, you will love his Civil Rights anthem, Takin’ It to the Streets! That’s him on keys, too. He’s a phenomenal funk and gospel pianist. Those are his sisters on backup vocals.

[@RTDavis0503]

Damn I miss it

[@TheDivayenta]

@@RTDavis0503 join Mike’s IG or FB page. You’ll get the announcements!

[@barbjohnson6268]

I didn't know that was his sister singing background!!! WOW great in their own right!

[@TheDivayenta]

@@barbjohnson6268 both sisters!

[@ivyvines6708]

"I keep Forgettin' " Has a great groove to it. McDonald has his special way of killing it. ;-) ;-) ;-)

[@naysay02]

great ear my man, 2:14 was awesome. yes so many incredible musicians and music on this song. A sad song that makes you legit want to dance/swing/move.

[@marjolewis9405]

A week ago you reacted to steely dan hey 19, Michael was singing backup.

[@abdeton1899]

"On My OWN" by Patti LaBelle And Michael. Btw the girl singing background on this is Michael's sister!

[@ericwind4053]

Your VERY respectful when it comes to music. VERY mature for a 21 year old....

[@matt.coburn]

His voice is sooooo smooth. If you wanna check out some more blue-eyed soul listen to Bobby Caldwell's What You Won't Do For Love.

[@VeronicaJ1959]

Lol....you're so silly and so damn cute at the same time. I love your reactions.

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

Love the robe! Very Hugh Hefner of you.

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

He’s sexy with a beautiful smile 😃

[@NLTwon]

Sexy??..😳😳..wait til I get home wifey

[@natecorning]

Love seeing reactors discover new music. Theres sooo much music out there that people would love, they just need have an open mind and take the time to search and find it. I recommend the "The Doobie Brothers - It Keeps You Runnin' (1977)" live video for another epic McDonald vocal performance

[@kellybrocato2215]

Me too! I’d love to be a reactor but there’s really no genre I don’t know about or any mainstream groups cuz I love music so much but I’d like to react

[@grammaticus2800]

The live 1977 “It Keeps You Runnin’” is probably the best live performance from the Doobies / Michael M. that you’re going to see on the Tube. You can not be disappointed.

[@glendagonzalez8974]

I love No looking Back,Michael McDonald's

[@barriowoodworks]

The late great Jeff Pocaro, of TOTO on drums. Bomb song right here!

[@duaneclarke9891]

Louis Johnson on the bass

[@Kim-hc5si]

Oh damn. I didn’t know that - so cool!

[@bruce7223]

Soul, Rock and Jazz all together !

[@brenthowell8883]

React to him backing up Kenny loggins on This Is It and the duet he does with James Ingram on the song Ya Mo Be There! Fire,Fire!✌

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Your fantastic reaction to this song was perfect. That's exactly how I feel.. every time I hear Michael McDonald sing. Been listening to his talent.. since I was 4. Just treasure everything about his voice..always have. A song about unrequited love..so powerful.

[@Instrument_of_Peace]

Michael is in the hall of fame twice!! With the Doobie brothers and solo! My favorite artist!! I loved when you were totally vibing with your eyes closed!! Great reaction!!

[@g.dubyou6263]

I’m 8 seconds in, and I already hit the thumbs up.

[@lindapowers8592]

I love anything Michael sang with The Doobie Brothers, a duet with a female artist or solo! That voice and soul! React to On My Own🔥with Patti LaBelle video or song 🎵 and Ya Moh Be There with James Ingram 🔥

[@clare1061]

Oh my goodness some Michael McDonald this man’s got a voice of his own. Check out the stuff you did with the Doobie Brothers she is one talented man.

[@evanleehome2178]

"Takin It To the Streets" with Doobie Brothers 1982. PERFECT live performance

[@robynsteele8851]

One of my all time favourite singers, he has one of the sexiest voices in the world. Literally gives me goosebumps 🤣🤣

[@brandy012173]

His singing voice is like iconic unique. The way he mixes such a large deep relaxed sound with that falsetto and his vibrato changes so intentionally. I would believe any damn word that man says when he sings. Plus this song on a good set of car speakers can be a blissful moment driving by yourself on the right day!

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

I love when a song makes that beautiful smile on your face. Doobies are 🔥 Twon. You should react to more. You have a beautiful smile. Black water is a good one too. So many. ❤️💥🔥 if I may LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. SHOUKD BE FIRST.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

I knew you wouldnt be able to sit still for long, his funky, Jazzy, with a touch of the blues vocals and sound...Awesome, Thanks Sweetie for the memories, Peace and Good Vibes

[@KiloBarb]

Now that you've heard this, you might want to jump right over and listen to "Warren G - Regulate" :-)

[@TheDivayenta]

“ Takin’ It to the Streets” is a McDonald / Doobies Civil Rights themed classic!

[@trishwormsley7903]

Check out...all is fair in love.... he has an amazing voice!

Love Michael McDonald! Check out Bobby Coldwell's "What you won't do for love"! It's right up there as one of the best vocals and song for me.

[@moohHa22]

[@annejohnston2193]

The Doobie Brothers , he was in that band , 1 of the most beloved group in the 70s

[@TexMexJack]

He did a lot of studio work too. Listen to Steely Dan the song Peg. The harmonies that Michael laid down in the studio are fierce!

[@marymarin3277]

Michael was part of the DOOBIE BROTHERS BAND. Long Train Running, Listen to the Music, China Grove and Black Water are a few of their hits!👍♥️

[@bigjay123]

Cause he's a singer. No computer needed.

[@RAD-82ndABN]

My favorite song from them is “Minute by Minute” a very smooth flow and catchy song...

[@maryellenshock]

Man's got a voice!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Now That You Know Michael's Voice,, Don't Be Surprised The Next Time You Listen To Steely Dan "Peg" If You Hear A Really Familiar Voice In The Background.

[@kellybrocato2215]

I didn’t know that and I’ve heard that song plenty of times. He’s in the Christopher Cross song “ ride like the wind” & I love him as well!

Glad to see you're back. Always take care of yourself. I wish you could send about half that energy through my phone. LOL awesome reaction!

Check out Regulators by Nate Dog and Warren G for a popukar sample of this track..... also helps if your familiar with the movie Young Guns... "Regulators, Mount up!" If you haven't seen the movie you'll miss the refrence... of course these were hugely popular in the 90's...
