It is very sad that music like this isn't made anymore.

[@arnjohnsonmusic]

Agreed, but I think Silk Sonic is killin' it at least. But yeah, real musicians? Real music? Not so much anymore.

[@danhartman8582]

Micheal also was with the Doobie Brothers . Check out What a fool believes . It was No. 1 hit in 1979 I believe .

[@workingman6681]

No one has a voice like Michael McDonald!👍

[@rozm8235]

Michael MacDonald has the most soulful voice...how can anyone with an ear for music give this the thumbs down...sad.

[@rajaoberlin9471]

Are you sure they have ear?

[@charlesburris6314]

My favorite song of his is "Minute By Minute", from when he was with the Doobie Brothers. The opening keyboard got my attention when it came out, and the lyrics are deep.

[@wgdavis5353]

Please include "China Grove" & "Takin' It To The Streets" & "Listen To The Music & "What A Fool Believes" featuring Michael McDonald.. ♠W.G.

[@c-mancleveland4632]

@@wgdavis5353 @Charles Burris Yep. I was going to say the same things really. IF you like Michael McDonald (or the rap version Regulators by Warren G and Nate Dogg) your going to love him the more you dig, but probably should start with the Doobie Brothers, the group he come out of (and they are all still around I believe).

[@themechanicman3865]

You are truly beautiful wow! Just like the song

[@dreamweaver8913]

Michael McDonald has been married to the same woman for 38 years. Amazing in today's world, let alone after so many years on stage with women throwing themselves at him. Awesome dude!

[@italianjob-vx6hp]

It is a fantastic piece and Michael Mcdonald gave alot to the Doobie brothers. Unique voice and we are all richer for it!

[@johnnolan5579]

One of the best singers ever. Love his voice.

[@cshubs]

Michael has a wide range of excellent songs. You may want to check out the band he sang and played with, The Doobie Brothers. Their list of hits is long and fantastic!

[@bopep1368]

I saw him before the pandemic. Went just because it was local and in a relatively small venue and because, well, hes Michael McDonald. He was outstanding-voice incredibly strong, and he sang with great passion and energy. His rendition of Takin It To The Streets, and indirect accompanying comments, reflected he wasnt just there to sing, but also deliver a message to the people. Great show.

[@ebooboo6784]

Same here.. he was with Chaka Khan.. small venue.. great show..

[@bradcolorado8149]

@@ebooboo6784 ... Chaka Khan.. Chaka Khan ........ Chaka Khan

[@GoldTop57]

Steve Lukather on guitar, Jeff Porcaro on drums. The guys from Toto were the most sought after studio musicians of the day.

[@bobr4987]

Michael McDonald also sang on the song "Peg", for the group "Steely Dan". He also backed up "Christopher Cross" song "Ride Like The Wind". They put Michael under the heading of "Blue-eyed Soul", like the Righteous Brothers. Thank you! Love your reactions!

[@bossfan49]

Don't forget backing vocals on "This Is It", which he co-wrote with Kenny Loggins (along with What A Fool Believes)

[@primeminister66]

Indeed, wish she would do some Steely Dan, especially “Peg” at her leisure. Great reaction as usual

[@dontgiveinfo]

Let's be honest. Is there anything our there TODAY that sounds like this?

[@eugeneanchante1011]

HELL NO

[@Hexon66]

Yes, plenty. There literally has never been a time in history when people have had more access to music than now. Whether you're talking style or quality, you can find it. Even if you're not savvy on finding it online, you can baby step it with the Inspired series on apple music, or others.

[@christhrasher9892]

Sad to say those days are gone

[@desmondshorts1574]

N O P E!!

[@dontgiveinfo]

@@Hexon66 i mean music pass the 2000's has been pretty basic. No one has a voice like M. Jackson, or Prince or Fonda Rae, etc. today? we have average singers at best. No true voice. They can be in a cabaret or broadway. But their voices won't make you feel uplifted or make your skin tingle. All that is coming out now is hight trash Billie Ellisih? come on, trash. There maybe one or two, but let's be real. Back in the day, being talented was a standard not an option

[@tbrackett9344]

Instant time travel back to my youth as soon as that bass line hits.

[@BoB-th8wm]

I love how you knew you were Smitten as soon as he started singing. Like you told yourself , "Damn, Girl,. You that easy".

[@theConquerersMama]

It is so sad. My step dad did arrangements for this with his back up band so I heard it over and over in our house for a season. It hit my middle school heart how happy these musicians were playing such a sad song.

[@billofalltrades2633]

He's got great vocal range! Amazing artist! Thanks for your reaction!

[@bossfan49]

Aside from the Patti LaBelle song, Michael also has a duet with James Ingram - "Yah Mo B There". It's probably another song you didn't know you knew. It was a Top 20 hit (Top 5 RnB). Very spiritual.

[@butchwiltshire6686]

What a guy! Member of the Doobie Bros, and Steely Dan, along with a healthy solo career. American Icon.

[@dreamweaver8913]

He also sang back up with many other artists, including Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Toto, and James Ingram, and played keyboard and sang with Steely Dan.

[@JT-Rebel]

The song you're thinking of is 1994's "Regulate" by Warren G featuring Nate Dogg.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Michael McDonald permitted Warren G, RIP, to sample this. Listen to Regulate. 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 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. Greg Phillinganes also played with Lionel Richie. 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. 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 Suggested next video: Michael McDonald and Patti Labelle sing On My Own. RIP Jeff Porcaro, drummer for I Keep Forgetting.

[@rayboish]

You have to listen to " what a fool believes " great song about unrequited love. Haven't we all been there ?

[@EvilTheOne]

Emotionally subconscious selective mental denial! Facing a love that no longer there is a painful thing. This song is packed with great musicians along with McDonald (keyboards). Toto's Steve Lukather (guitars), Jeff Porcaro (drums) and Greg Phillinganes (keys); Louis Johnson (bass) and McDonald's sister Maureen on backing vocal. This started Michael McDonald's relationship with Toto, as he has sung backing vocals of several of their albums. SMOOTH GROOVE . . . GREAT REACTION!

[@teensymom1420]

Michael sang background on a lot of songs. One that I absolutely love is Toto's "I'll Be Over You". I know you will love it. Please check it out. He also had a duet with the late great James Ingram ..Yah Mo B There. It is amazing.

[@arnjohnsonmusic]

Might be his best song ever. So glad you reacted! Just love the funky groove and vocals.

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

"What a Fool Believes" by him with the Dooby Brothers. Probably my favorite. I just love your genuine reactions. You have great taste in music. I must say.

[@leosag816]

I love this song & the emotion in his voice

[@seandalrymple392]

If anyone ever forgets to love you...... well the world should stop! You remind me of the multi talented and beautiful woman, Brandy.

His voice is absolutely awesome but the music in the song is equally great.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 "Love Me" is a song recorded by the Bee Gees, released on the 1976 album Children of the World. Robin takes the lead on this one….can’t wait to see your reaction!!!!

[@thekingcobra63]

I recommend What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald, or "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia. Both songs are in a similar groove.

[@edwardkrieger582]

Yes, well done & they are 2 "Gems". I love Everything about "What a Fool Believes", musically soo cool, but also the lyrics effect me, story of my life & loves. Might be sad & drag, but Love it.

[@woodchucknation]

How Much I Feel, yes

[@carloscastro9138]

More we were expecting from him 'cause he is a great musician .

I have a request. How much I feel by Ambrosia.... I think this band is something you will like. Love your channel.... Keep putting smiles on people's faces. Thanks for what you do.

[@markthree1095]

Michael McDonald has been the soundtrack to my life growing up, so pleased to see you discovering his talent. Sweet Freedom is another worth checking out.

Great reaction, thank you! Might I suggest he and Patti Labelle duet, On My Own. Shows his power and hers both!

[@xorcha33]

I second that suggestion!

[@bossfan49]

Did you guys even watch the video? She mentioned the song twice...she has already heard it and is familiar with it. It's one of her Mom's favorite songs.

[@willieboy3011]

80s had a relationship just like this. Her coming and going, and me wanting her to stay a little longer, Her fresh smell lingered just a little after she left and me looking out the window. This song brings me back 4 decades, just like that.

[@timetravellingone]

The great Jeff Porcaro on drums, which brings to mind the band he drummed for (Toto) check them out too "Hold the line" "99" "Africa" "Rosanna" "Waiting for your love" "I'll be over you" "Pamela" "Stranger in town"

[@liquidationkingla5706]

The Melody and Bass Lines were sample by Warren G for his Rap Song Regulators ...

[@roberth2227]

Seemed like a good honest reaction, drawing from her own experience and knowledge of music. I'd watch another of her reactions.

[@dwightprimrose6151]

Bass line by the late great Louis Johnson from the Brothers Johnson.

[@dangauldin6497]

Directly from the Wiki article: McDonald's song was heavily sampled by Warren G on his hit 1994 single "Regulate", featuring Nate Dogg, and by Jadakiss on "Kiss Is Spittin'", which also features Nate Dogg. Young MC sampled it on his song "Love You Slow"

[@lilpoohbear653]

Nice reaction! If ya get time, please check out Barry Gibb and Barbara Streisand "Guilty" or "What kind of Fool"...awesome duet...mind boggling great!

[@mmichaeldonavon]

Just found you. Love Michael McDonald and this song. I've heard this song a 100 times but I will always listen to it again. I've found you an interesting woman, so I've subscribed. Even though I'm an "old person," I am a product of all of this wonderful music of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Can't get enough of it. Thanks, I'll be watching.

[@dawgnexileii3177]

Check out Dukes of September. He had a long past with with Fagan and Becker. This song was released in 1982. There is no chance a hip hop song, of which there a handful between 1979 and 1981 which were primarily the same artists could have written the melody to this song. MacDonald and Sanford wrote this song including the melody. One very close to this was written tears earlier by Lyricist Jerome Leiber (April 25, 1933 - August 22, 2011)[1] and composer Michael Stoller[2] (born March 13, 1933)[3] were American songwriting and record producing partners. No hip hop guys wrote anything to do with this song. Impossible. Some may have copycat the melody years later but that is about it. Next thing you know hip hop artists are going to be explaining Steely Dan's "Mou-Chord".

How about some George Michael - "Kissing a Fool" (jazzy, mellow) or "Fast Love" (uptempo, dance). If you want an uptempo, happy song from The Carpenters, how about "Top of The World" - that'll make you smile.

You are beautiful by the way!:) The song has a special place in my heart because it always reminds me of my first love....... that I lost. It would make my day to see you react to it!:) Again, please find the one that has them in concert and Steve Perry in a white jacket...... Its the best version IMO!:)
