James Ingram & Michael McDonald - Yah Mo B There (Reaction)

[@waltermartinez5372]

I am 52 now and this song has always been badass since back in 1983

[@nicolasocampo9953]

a prayer to the Almighty...sung by two of the greatest voices ever!

[@time2chill121]

A prayer plus a thing we all gotta go through

[@knightngail1]

Michael McDonald could sing anything and it'll be smooth as butter. 💙

[@robinalecia7554]

They won the Grammy i think in 1984 for best duo . Beautiful song that they wrote produced by Quincy Jones

[@louiseboyd8896]

I heard one youtuber comment that talented folks like this are aliens from another planet.

[@strasbourgerelsass1467]

Thumbs up to Rod Temperton, the white guy who wrote so many famous brillant Soul and Funk songs. R.I.P. Rod and James

[@Tiffonique]

Rod Temperton also wrote most or all the songs for the infamous album Thriller for Michael Jackson. He was also a member of the dope group Heatwave.

[@strasbourgerelsass1467]

@@Tiffonique That is included in my "many famous brillant Soul and Funk songs". 🥳

[@brackensavvy]

Michael McDonald is a great singer and songwriter. This was one of the best collaborations ever!

[@KATUMBARONALD-l5n]

Uganda the pearl of Africa we are listening

[@jacqueline4514]

Big smile right now 😀

[@tankarayst11420]

These are two song artists mastering their craft. James and Michael had amazing careers. Staples of the 80's and 70's for Michael

[@CA5124]

Oh yes I remember this one such a Tune! Bopping along 😊

[@hollis68]

Yah is a shortened version of Yahweh, which means God in Hebrew. So the title literally means "God will be there" and is interpreted as "God be with you."

[@johnbatis9371]

Oh Yes. Yahweh, Jehovah, Jeshua ...all one.

[@onaway67]

That's why I love this song so much!

[@KathleenSeddon]

Yes this was good music real talent

[@maine420grow]

Both great singers never knew they colaborated

[@hollis68]

I’m 52 Yrs old and it’s hard to find a track Michael McDonald DIDN’T sing on - ha!

[@knightngail1]

And, I'm not complaining at all. I could listen to his voice everyday. 😊

[@mdwayne741]

Definitely one of the smoothest songs ever!!!!!

[@angeltejeiro6828]

Great voices!!!!...A masterpiece.Saludos desde Galicia ( Spain)👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@CasualPrince]

That right there is a man lost in the sauce. Love it! A proper reaction, feeling it all. Keep them coming, G.

[@shunwilliams6180]

This is amazing music ❤❤❤

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

I didn't see this one coming. Nice

[@JonzStoneroadAvalon808]

If you do We Are the World, James Ingram has a powerful part of it. Also his duet with Patti Austin is my favorite duet. Speaking of duets, my other favorite is Michael McDonald and Patti La Belle in "On My Own."

[@fireside007]

Nice . . . 👍 YOU ~ ROCK ! !

[@time2chill121]

People got to keep pushing on

[@barbettebarton4459]

I love this!!!❤

[@louissimpson984]

This song is a banger

[@DisclosureTV1]

I can't believe he's not here anymore.

[@brenthowell8883]

I agree with hollis68. I'm 57 and I've heard both of these awesome artist over the years on different songs. Michael started out doing back up for Steely Dan, became lead singer for The Doobie Brothers, sang back up on other songs( Kenny Loggin's song This Is It) sang with Patti Labelle etc... James Ingam did a awesome song called Find 100 Ways, sang a duet with another female Artist, and other collaborations. Love his voice! Sad he is no longer with us.😓 Great Reactions!

[@randychampion184]

Also James sang Just Once

[@davidbutler3149]

What did you expect out of 2 of the greatest male vocals ever

[@jacquelinebeason1360]

Greetings from London!

[@Mr79Man]

Teez, one of my favorites! 2 great vocals from the late great James Ingram and Michael McDonald. Yah Mo Be There James wanted it to be God will be there, but the producers thought it would be too religious. James didn't want to budge, but he went with Yah because it's a Hebrew name for God. Please react to James Ingram: Just Once and Michael Mcdonald: Sweet Freedom. Thanks!

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

James Ingram transitioned at the age of 66 January 19, 2019 from brain cancer. This song was originally "Yahweh Be There" however; the record label refused to release it under that title. It was James himself who told me this. It is generally thought that YAH is a shortened form of YHVH. This Name of God occurs about 50 times in the Tanakh. In Psalm 68:4 [5, H] this Name is particularly stressed. The Name YAH is also found in the construct word "hallelu-YAH," which means "you. The actually spelling of the song title is Yah Mo B There. Yah is a shortened version of Yahweh, which means God in Hebrew. So the title literally means "God will be there" and is interpreted as "God be with you." The background lyrics are "up and over".

[@breadnapkin]

classic

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

Another great song is Sounds of Blackness "Optimistic"

[@jacquelinebeason1360]

Also I am a new subscriber. What an amazing choon! 😀

[@yvetteadshead4212]

Another belter

[@shunwilliams6180]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@peterdellos8824]

Hope you got around to react to "Sweet Freedom" because it has similar production, groove and vocals!

[@williamhughes2342]

Lolo

[@williamhughes2342]

But to be honest I know one song that can beat that song right there I love that song too but The Isley Brothers smooth sailing is better than that Michael McDonald and James Ingram song

[@berniec7134]

The live version is alot funker. I like that version. However, take nothing away from James and Michael. Love this song.

[@jlewis3203]

Play James Ingrahm "100 Ways"!

[@cayleyturner3556]

😎

[@mtsula]

Try "100 Ways" by James Ingram.

[@kennethjones2721]

YAH is the Hebrew name for God.

[@quintondavis3492]

It means Ya will be there 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@annother3350]

👎🏼 someone's fucked around with the stereo field in this version. Watch the proper 1983 video version

[@rollomaughfling380]

1440p48, and looks like 240p. No thank you. Work on your lighting/production values.
