My two most favorite bands since the 70’s I’m 73 now and still listen to their music everyday.

Thanks for commenting!

East Coast Steely Dan + West Coast Doobie Brothers = Michael McDonald. I Love the 1970s / 80s. Feel the Music.

[@loumelillo1790]

One of a kind voice

[@kellyanndean9374]

Im a singer and my biggest dream would be to be Michael McDonald's duet partner👍😇❤🎤🎸🫠🎶

[@johnwattdotca]

I was playing "Listen To The Music" and "Long Train Running" when they were on the charts, or soon after. Rolling Stone published a lot of stories on the Doobies, and that only strengthened my feel for the band. It was a big surprise when I heard Michael McDonald joined them, me going back to Pretzel Logic, figuring most of that out one summer when I was only playing at night. "Minute By Minute" is my fave here.

In my wildest dreams I never thought I would see the Doobs in person They came to St. Catharines Ontario Canada on October 19th 2023 on my 84 birthday. And what a birthday present that was. The place was just rocking. On yer feet most of the evening. Thanks ever so much. And remember at 50 yer just getting started

❤️🎼🎤🎹A ‘one-of-a-kind’ voice from Mr. McDonald. I saw them in Honolulu a few weeks ago in their 50 year anniversary tour and their catalog still holds up with the combination of the Tom Doobies and Michael Doobies. Hawaii still loves the band after all these years❤️🌴🐳🤙🏼

[@SoundbiteBio]

Wow, so jealous! I'm sure it was a great show. Please check out our Black Water video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHy9oZR7pcaWjck

So glad he mended fences with his Doobie brothers.

[@slidezone9056]

The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan are included in the soundtrack of my life. And to this day...whenever I'm feeling down...I listen to their music.

[@sunflower5143]

A master in the world of music and a masterpiece.

[@anz2441]

What a voice !!

[@SidLaw500]

5:55 damn so much fuckin' soul!

[@SoundbiteBio]

Well said TheBrandon425, very well said Sir!!!

[@edwincancelii2917]

One of my favorite Upper Southern, South Midland, down home blue-eyed soul singer from Missouri.

[@veganvocalist4782]

The most beautiful male voice I have ever heard , always loved his work and still do ;D would LOOOVE to harmonize with him

[@TheLeafsConvo]

That’s some heavyweight music right there.

[@JamesBearce]

Michael brought soul to the Doobies riff. The best of the Doobies would be all of them together. If we could bring back those who have gone before us.

[@SoundbiteBio]

Mr Bearce, I must respectfully disagree. MM did bring his type of soul to the Doobies, but they were funky before he arrived. Here is a link to my Doobies Brother - Blackwater video. Thanks for watching the channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHy9oZR7pcaWjck

[@TheDivayenta]

They all tour together now.

[@kellyanndean9374]

Michael McDonald is the ultimate male singer ever!

[@klnine]

What a lovely guy !

[@bostonterrierplanet-bn1ge]

1 good song with mm- takin it to the streets

[@joannburkhartt8399]

Amazing voice, should be a storyteller!

[@SoundbiteBio]

Seems like he's a great guy too. I know a guy that owns a moving company in Nashville. He was moving Michael and complimented him on a piano in his house. Michael said, “ it's yours if you want it, and gave him the piano. Can you imagine having one of Michael McDonald pianos!!

[@bryanfindley1438]

another great job

[@SoundbiteBio]

Thanks again!

[@SQDLVR]

I'd love to hear Michael's version of the song he wrote for David Cassidy called "Hold On Me"

[@jerigillispie5310]

[@daveg4236]

Was hard for me to dig the doobs with Mike in and Tom out. Nothing wrong with either version just prefer Tom

[@TheDivayenta]

They toured all together this year! It was fabulous.

Man i thought this was new content!

Apologies, if you're a Michael McDonald fan you should check out the Ambrosia - Biggest Part Of Me "Behind the Hit" Documentary. Thanks for watching the channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKvCkJp_jrWLpqs

[@christopherbullock2644]

Whatever happened to those Sennheiser microphones?

[@aliensarereal7832]

Like them and all their music no matter who was in the band.

[@chetkinkade3413]

What Doobie Do You Be?? Classic What's Happening!!

[@richardleewagner3939]

Michael McDonald is a Vegas lounge act. That's not what I call rock and roll.

[@tomlehr861]

He helped them

[@SoundbiteBio]

Yes he did! Check out my Doobie Brothers video Black Water and let me know what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHy9oZR7pcaWjck

[@beekay5914]

Very good singer, but I don't like the direction that the Doobies went in with him. Too much repetition of phrases.

[@SoundbiteBio]

Bee Kay, That's a very fair observation, but that voice was just so unique and soulful.

[@bobburroughs6241]

A sad day for the Doobies..

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons do not agree. Meh… what do those guys know🙄

[@jaycee30865]

5:27: I didn’t know the Doobie brothers had a white supremacist member.

[@bachrocktheamericahatersan5799]

WTF you talking about! Doobies support the Marxist BLM bullshit.

[@kylec2761]

I’ve been a Mike McD fan for 40+ years now, and he seems nice, but he never says anything interesting, it’s all cliches. Same here. “More than a dream come true.” “Jeff pulled me into the Doobies camp.” “Fast friends.” No information.

[@kevinburke6055]

"we were pretty much influenced by whatever was on the radio Beatles kinks". Yeah he's pretty boring in interviews

[@SweetJungThang]

Always at least one jealous grumbler in the crowd.

[@kylec2761]

@@SweetJungThang oh sorry, Mike McD is a good who speaks deep truths! Please don’t judge me commenter I couldn’t bear it
