Hmm, but does it work the other way? When I was in my 20s my mom begged me to go with her to Sam Goody to get Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys CDs because she didn't want to be "the old lady" in the record store. Now I am in my 40s and I had to investigate (and fall in love) with Billie Eilish's music (In my mother's honor) and tomorrow is the Grammy awards and I am cheering on Wet Leg for best new artist. They were just college buddies a couple of years ago so it would be neat if they won at least 1 of the 3 Grammys they were nominated for (Their album engineers are also nominated for the best non-classical engineered album Grammy.)

Michael McDonald met Nate Dogg one day by happenstance. McDonald congratulated the Brutha on his musical success based on the sample. When people questioned McDonald about Nate’s use of his music, McDonald said he was cool with it and that music is a gift to be shared. McDonald his a hell of a musician and cool dude. Respect.

This is what we used to call “Blue-eyed Soul”! Check out Ambrosia, BeeGees, Paul Davis, Toto, Bobby Caldwell, Christopher Cross….man I could go on and on! All classics

So cool to c the younger gen enjoying our good music from back in the day. The good music was plentiful & immaculate.

I'm a stagehand and worked one of his tours a few years ago. I got to help set up his piano for the show. He's still got the chops; it was a great show.

Yeah, it's great to know younger people like the music of an earlier time. I would be ecstatic if they visited the Grand Canyon and then listened to Ferde Grafe's Grand Canyon Suite. It is a true classic from the early 1900's. Grofe put to music what the eyes can see.

Michael McDonald has that voice that you never have to second guess who that is singing. It's good to see the youth of today finding the magic of the talent we had back in the 70s. Keep digging guys you've just scratched the surface. 😎🎸

This was Michael McDonald's first single from his first solo album. He had been a member of the Doobie Brothers band, they weren't brothers, just brothers in doobie 😉. When he joined the band, their sound changed to a more soulful sound because of his voice and he wrote the songs. I remember him saying at the time about this song, it was black radio that saved him. The white audience abandoned him with this, if it hadn't been for black radio, the song and the album would have gone nowhere. As it turns out it's a classic.
