That voice. Those eyes. That prematurely graying hair. Yes, even that beard! That man made many a heart flutter over the years. Yes indeedy.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Boy, they did. He still looks good and he's in his 60s now.

You said a mouthful, and he's still got it (sigh) 💖

[@TheBlackbird95]

I'm 24 and I agree 100%

[@joona1262]

Micheal McDonald is a smooth cat. This one's a banger

[@Mr_Mijagi]

Fantastic song. One of the greatest soul voices. Fun fact: the drum track is played by Jeff Porcaro (from "Toto" famous for his Rosanna shuffle, and many more)

[@jml-rj5re]

Lowdown by Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan's Katy Lied album. Title track on Gaucho.

[@eagleal3]

I love when its the first time people here this. They are like hes doing the warren g song.

[@alcopower5710]

EagleAl3 ......far better than Warren G in my humble opinion

[@ajkoab]

Alco Power well everyone is entitled to their opinions

[@atsingletaryIII]

🤣 I know! There are countless crap songs that steal from real musical artists and I die laughing every time when they find out they stoled their number one rap hit from a white guy that kicked a**. Hilarious.

[@Bealzbob]

I've seen a few people react to this who were so young the Warren G song didn't click with them. That's how to feel old :D

[@Stephanie_CommunistsSUCK]

@@Bealzbob LOL I was just thinking that same thing!!

[@charlesburris6314]

"Minute By Minute" by the Doobie Brothers. Michael sang lead and his keyboard work is unforgettable.

[@pattymesagal2654]

yes please like all the doobie brothers songs

[@vangu2918]

Yesss!

[@larahill82]

That special moment when you realize this is where REGULATOOOOOORS started. Thanks!

[@killah_disciple1]

Fun Fact: His sister is singing backup vocals. Classic song. I love his whole solo library, Doobie Brothers stuff, and collaborations with Kenny Loggins and James Ingram. I listen to him everyday at work lol.

[@shweetpotato]

Michael McDonald has such a beautiful voice and is so handsome as well, thank you for sharing, haven't heard this one forever

[@belleferrar8898]

Michael does have a unique voice and you imitating him is pretty darn funny! I love your take on everything, you crack me up.

[@staceymachelle5242]

Your channel is hilarious. HILARIOUS!!! Anyway, if you love Michael McDonald then listen to him when he led the Doobie Brothers. He changed that country/folk/rock band into an R&B group when he joined. They enjoyed their biggest grammy-winning hits with him.

[@kittylynnlpn]

Thanks for that flashback! I remember hearing that on Casey Kasem American Top 40 when I was in elementary school. Love this song.

[@davidbutler1409]

Michael McDonald was a soulful voice of the 70s and 80s that started in the Doobie Brothers then branched out for solo....he did lots of backup vocals for lots of other popular artists also...very recognized vocal

[@puck34100]

He sang with the Doobie Brothers.

[@mikeadams2677]

Before he sang with the Doobie Brothers he sang with Steely Dan. He also collaborated son with Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins.

[@aldebrechtspaulding786]

@@mikeadams2677 Several connections to Steely Dan with Doobies... not just Mike, but Jeff Skunk Baxter, and some other session guys

[@mikeadams2677]

@@aldebrechtspaulding786 that's new information to me too. I didn't know about the other guys having connections to Steely Dan, only Mike.

[@robertbryant3805]

He was in the band.

[@jamesbova9077]

Ty as you found out that Warren G and Nate Dogg used this from Michael McDonald for their song "Regulate" which was used in the 1993 film "Above The Rim".

[@robertshulenberger]

I absolutely LOVE this song. This is the first time I've ever seen the video. The look on your face at 4:01 was priceless. One song of his I would recommend is the song Sweet Freedom.

[@juliewhite7469]

Sweet Freedom is so good !💚💙💜

[@JanetLynnJJ]

I liked this recommendation...i haven't heard this in forever!! Kudos to whomever recommended this 💗

[@WineSippingCowboy]

1st solo hit! 😎 Produced by Ted Templeman and Larry Waronker. Ted Templeman is best known as the producer for The Doobie Brothers, Montrose and Van Halen. Larry Waronker is best known as the producer for Gordon Lightfoot. Michael McDonald permitted Warren G to sample this. Michael McDonald sang a lot in the 1970s and in the 1980s. Michael McDonald joined The Doobie Brothers in 1975. He wrote What a Fool Believes with Kenny Loggins. The song won a Grammy. In 1980, Michael McDonald sang backing vocal in the Christopher Cross song Run Like the Wind. In 1982, I Keep Forgetting was a big hit. In 1983 he wrote Yah Mo Be There with the late James Ingram and Quincy Jones. In 1984, MM finished the lyrics to I'll Wait. Official credits: I'll Wait written by Van Halen + Michael Macdonald. In 1986, MM sang On My Own with Patti Labelle, and MM sang backing vocal in I'll Be Over You with Toto. In 1982, Greg Phillinganes also played with Lionel Richie. Steve Lukather played guitar here. In addition to MM, Steve Lukather played guitar in the studio for his band Toto, Chicago and Michael Jackson (Thriller). Steve Lukather, being in his band Toto, worked like a dog in 1982! LOL RIP Jeff Porcaro, drummer for I Keep Forgetting.

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

Old classic... Thanks for the review!

[@adancer3592]

Oh 80s hair I love you !

This song is from 1983.What a GREAT year for music!! This is what music was all about!!

1982.

I keep forgetting things will never be the same again .. yes I so can relate to that ...😢😢😢

[@NoName-fc3xe]

Love your facial expression when you saw eighties hair. Lol

[@PantyhoseExperience]

It wasn’t the hair, that didn’t even look like a woman or a human 😾

[@bannhim6697]

Coupe de Tina Turner.......

[@battlegirldeb]

Yes Michael McDonald was a Classic. I remember the first time I saw him was on the TV show What's Happening when the gang when to the Doobie Brothers concert and Re Run was told by a man that if her wanted tickets to the show he would give them to him only if her recorded the show. Re Run didn't know at the time this was bootlegging until later when he was caught with the tape recorder.

[@mommaofthree2040]

What's Happening... LOL I loved that show. It was DYNO-MITE!! I also liked Good Times. I just recently found out that Penny was played by Janet Jackson on that show!

[@garretfritts2940]

Funny line from that one that's still stuck in my mind, "I'm Roger Thomas of the jefferson high gazette, Which Doobie You Be?"

[@LisaCupcake]

I loved that show. Watched every week with my big sister. :)

[@brentbeardsley655]

Hey hey hey!

[@gabrielmezaali]

Dee=Ya Mama!😂

[@Chillednfunked]

That voice is still an incredible talent. The bassist is Louis Johnson (pronounced Louie) and Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro of Toto so all excellent session musicians..the scary woman is his sister lol who did the backing vocals. He does lots of backing vocals for lots of excellent artists.. and yes soul does not have any colour..

[@eileencloonan9117]

I'll Never forget the first time... I heard this lovely and soulful tune at a free concert in Chicago's Grant Park in the early 80's! All I can say is he blew.... me away and he still does!

[@lisas572]

Michael's from Doobie Brothers. They started 2 yrs after I was born. I'm 51. Always loved Michael's voice & eyes. Song goes back to the 80's

[@steverey8362]

Phenomenal voice, on many tracks, with many artists, yet still somehow underrated. Great tune, solid reaction. 👍

[@steverey8362]

If you're interested in hearing anothe of his tracks. Even thought I'm not a fan of cover tunes, check out his cover of Carly Simon's - You Belong To Me. It's quality. Link to follow. Reaction or not it's work your time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZyWlZmvrLZoZqs

[@DanielRamos-wx4vw]

God Bless ! Love to watch your videos. Almost feels like a close friend just hanging out enjoying music videos from back then ! Thanks so much again !

[@taylormoye7098]

Can you imagine how the call from Warren to Michael went? "Yeah I wanna use your beat and say it was a clear black night a clear white moon." LOL

[@impishmiss]

Michael McDonald is a very respected musician. Played with many many bands as well as back up vocals for bands like Steely Dan. And he is gorgeous to boot. I would love you to react to Georgy Porgy by one of my favs Toto

[@theiconicmr.perfect7499]

the moment the music started, and I saw Ty's eyes light up, I knew he was thinking of Nate Dog🤣 in fact, even before I started the video, I knew his eyes would light up for that reason. Blue-eyed soul doesn't get any better than Michael McDonald. "What a Fool Believes," from his days with the Doobie Brothers is my favorite. And I see in the comments, I'm not the only one✌🎶

[@herbiesnerd]

Takin’ it to the Streets, Doobie Brothers is my favorite Michael McDonald vocal performance. I saw him live twice in the 90’s at a small venue. I used to say if I could suddenly have the singing voice of anyone out there, it would be Michael McDonald.

[@lxhobson]

He has such a great voice! And yes, toward the end when that woman comes into view with the ratted up hair, slinking towards him in the black dress, all I could think of was Glenn Close as the stalker in "Fatal Attraction"!!!

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love Michael McDonald whether solo or with the Doobie Brothers! Yeah, Warren G. and Nate Dog sampled this song for their hit “Regulator “ which I love too! Great music never dies! ❤️❤️

[@sfbayareagirl]

Bruh, it was the 80s lol. This is an amazing song that’s trill in my playlist. Try “Steppin’ Out” by Joe Jackson. I haven’t seen anyone do that yet.

[@tammysummers5892]

Soulful smooth voice! Love it!

[@orsonkaart1853]

I always loved this song. The I was watching your face when that woman turned around and your reaction was hilarious. Ha Ha!! Love ya.

[@pennychristmas3467]

i love watching this you play songs i have forgot how much i really liked em thanks :-)

[@battlegirldeb]

All early rap songs sample the beats for all form of music. These days most can take a whole song and just put their lyrics on top. It's just now the have to clear it with the original artist to make sure they are paid for their song. There are some Rap songs that use different beats from a lot of songs in only one of theirs.

[@MsLuvmusic81]

walk this way is an Aerosmith song originally but they did the collab with run dmc about 10 years after its release;

[@MrCubFan415]

Warren G actually contacted Michael McDonald personally, IIRC. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKavhmOraZJmY6M

[@PDigsss]

haha your face when she turned around is priceless.

Ahh...1982...I lived every one of my teenage years in the 80's, man what I wouldn't do to go back. Fantastic times and amazing music that lasts through today. Thanks for doing this one Ty :) p.s 80's hair Ty, took a heck of a lot of hairspray and teasing to get that height! :)

[@georgerivera9845]

DEFINITELY SOULFUL!!! PLEASE CHECK OUT HIS OTHER SONG "WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES" He was a part of the Doobie Brothers at the time that song was released, so it's actually a DOOBIE BROS song - BUT - Michael Mcdonald was the lead singer for that song.. I'm positive you'll enjoy it. Thanks for posting fun videos!!! Keep it up!!

[@LaserRanger15]

He can make his voice sound high and low at the same time. He's one of the best vocalists ever, in my opinion. Nicolette Larson backing vocals

[@michaelolz]

Praise the Lord, brother! Another great video. Love what you’re doing.

[@davidkinkaide1467]

41 years later and this song still has relevance. In 1982 when this song came out music that was released 41 years early were not relevant in the same way.

[@terrytorres5026]

Thank you for channel, your helping people. You are a good man!

[@jamgarza1]

Oh man a classic. Now you just took me back to my younger years. Oh wow. So much that I tried to forget just came rushing back.

[@gcxred4kat9]

I'm from that era. That's what we call "big 80's hair". More hairspray used in the 80's than all other decades combined. The fuckin jeans were skin tight and hard as hell to get off then too. You women know what I'm talking about.

[@teensymom1420]

I don’t know if anyone has recommended his collab with James Ingram, ‘Yah mo be there’. Toy will love it Renaissance Man, I ain’t lyin. Even if you don’t do a reaction to it, check it out.

[@LaserRanger15]

he did at least one album that was all old Motown songs. Really great vocalist. pretty sure Nicolette Larson sang back up on this one

Great review again.. this record was 'sampled' rather a lot by other artists.

[@shawngill5676]

He cracked me up when he said it sounds like Regulate by Warren G. I'm a late 60s 70s baby. Alot of music these young cat's hear now days they think is original. Man the 70s was the best musical era ever hands down.

[@onsesejoo2605]

There are slow motion parts on the video. 80's hairstyle equally for girls and hair metal bands :) With late Jeff Porcaro on drums, Steve Lukather guitar, Greg Phillinganes keyboards, Louis Johnson bass. They all played on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album as well. Porcaro and Lukather are also known from Toto, Louis Johnson from Johnson Brothers.

[@robertg7396]

If you want to hear a great voice, you gotta check out Journey!! I would be shocked if no one ever requested them yet. Steve Perry is arguably the greatest rock singer in history. So many great songs to choose from. "Faithfully" "Who's Crying now" "Any way you want it" "Mother, Father" (live in Houston version) and "Lights". Just to name a few. 🤞😊

[@mommaofthree2040]

I'm sure several mentioned it, as I did. I didn't play though. Give a listen to Dan Hartman -" I Can Dream About You." It has a 60s Motown flavor, but written in the 80s for the movie Streets of Fire, which you really ought to watch. Great cinematography, acting, music etc. You and I seem to have a lot in common in the way we see and hear art. A lot of the things you notice and comment on are the same things I do.
