Yasss do not sleep on Mike

I am a professional musician. I play the with the symphony orchestra in my state. Micheal McDonald came to do a performance with us several years ago and I had the great luck to be seated right next to him on stage! My music stand was literally right beside his piano bench! I consider myself highly poised when on stage, but I must admit that I have never made so many mistakes in my life! I was totally distracted by his voice and the color of his eyes. It's an ocean blue that I cannot even describe very well! He was so kind and such an incredible musician. Much respect to him and his musicianship!

He sang and played with Steely Dan and most notably the Doobies. Blue eyed soul greatness. Surely you’ve reacted to What A Fool Believes? 😊

Michael McDonald was everywhere in the late 70s and early 80s. He was the lead singer for The Doobie Brothers, but he also sang backup for Christopher Cross, Steeley Dan, and Kenny Loggins. The man was booked and busy! Once you know his voice, you will hear it in a lot in songs from this era.

No Toto também.

he is the epitome of blue-eyed soul. I think women of all ages and colour were in love with him and if this gives you any indication of how smooth he is the legendary Brian McKnight said he models himself after him❤❤❤❤

“Scooby Doo hair”. I can’t unsee it. 😂😂😂

His voice was EVERYWHERE Super talented

Love Michael McDonald❤

I love Michael McDonald and his voice is so unique. He was with Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers and on his own. He was everywhere in the 70’s and 80’s and he sang back up for many other artists while having a strong career. His music is a good rabbit hole to go down.

I don't know about that I think Lenny Kravitz is a hell of a lot hotter than Michael

McD is a musical GENIUS and has a brief case full of hits! It Keeps You Runnin, Takin' It To The Streets, Minute By Minute, What A Fool Believes, Real Love, You Belong to Me, Sweet Freedom, Yah Mo B There, On My Own.

“Let me ride” was by Dr. Dre, which was also sampled, this was sampled by Warren G and Nate Dogg, “Regulators”

LoL, I love it when the next generation discovers some of America's best. It doesn't have color, just talent....

He’s great with The Doobie Brothers, and solo. Many artists have hired him for backup vocals in their songs, Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan, just to name a couple.

I love!!! MICHAEL MACDONALD! Great reaction!

Michael McDonald is an amazing artist and he has a vast cataloge of music so sit back and enjoy some amazing music....😊

You have to do a reaction to an amazing Duets between him and the legendary Patti LaBelle it will blow your freaking mind❤❤❤

Saw him with Doobie Brothers last summer when he was 70 years old and still sounded amazing

Hello my brother ABtheKreator, Michael McDonald has been loved by many fans for his "Blue-Eyed-Soul" style and he's been called "The Man with the Golden Voice!!!" I highly recommend that you react to his duets with: James Ingram, with Patti Labelle and with Toni Braxton!!! They are absolutely fantastic!!! The live version of his duet with Toni Braxton is one for the ages!!!

lol 😂 she’s not flying. That was the quality of graphics back then and she was supposed to be fading in and out of his mind 😂

Haven't heard this song in so long, thank you!! Great reaction!!

Love him❤️. Blue eyed soul.

His music is just ... Pure bliss

Back in the day chest hair was the badge of a true man !!!! They wanted to show it off. I came up in the 80’s so I’ve always loved a man with some chest hair.

You would love his and Patti Labelle duet. Michael has swag. You know Miss Labelle definitely brings it.

Ps- look up a band called “Yacht Rock Revue” performing this song. They break off into Regulators in the middle. They are a 70s cover band that tours- 70s outfits and all!! You won’t be sorry

As soon as I saw the title, I thought… Oh, he’s gonna love this!

love this voice

Yes that is him!!!

He was also part of the Doobie Bros, and also did a duet with Patti Labelle, "On my Own." BTW, the girl's hairstyle is very 80s! ☺️

I don’t know which comment was the best?!! All I know is when you said “scooby doo hair” I laughed so hard I might have peed a little! Lmao!!

I smiled while during the intro knowing Michael is the reason why I can sing close to 6 octaves and can do back vocals like I do as a drummer. He was literally everywhere and by far the most in demand male back vocalist in the early 80's! I was in a old schooler tribute to the Doobies and they said I needed to learn his lines which are always the highest notes and I spent 3 months to get the necessary range. Went to college and found no instrumentalist singing..... y'all need to step up!!!

I love this song so much!! Definitely do more of him. He was part of The Doobie Brothers. Excellent band and Michael has a great solo career as well.

Just a beautiful Timeless classic by the great Michael McDonald

The stank face after you did his run... 😅 love it.

Fun fact: His sister Maureen McDonald is doing the backup vocals on this track.

Have never stopped d listening to him. Heart throb. What a voice. Ty.

The woman in the song with him is Stevie Nicks. She sang for Fleetwood Mac and had a personal career as a solo artist

Not the lady at the end. Just the woman in white fading in and out. Think the other lady was a model

she's not flying... she's sliding in and sliding out.

I love the funk in this song. And when Nate and Warren G sampled it in the 90s…I was all about it then too. A good beat deserves to be revisited. Very unique voice. I love the duet with Patti too

Very entertaining video with excellent commentary. Thanks for sharing!

Scooby-Doo hair....I'm dying!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I kove when people figure out where Nate Dogg got this sample ❤

What a fool believes by him singing for the Doobie Bros is also a classic. 🤘🏻

He sang on Takin' it to the Streets with the Doobie Brothers. Love that song.

My first time watching you. Great choice, Michael McDonald is awesome and sang with Steely Dan, the most amazing Artists ever. Have you reacted to their music? I would love to watch them!

For real though every time I see this video the intro zooms in on that building it reminds me of a Saturday night live sketch😂 😂😂😂😂😂

Love Michael McDonalds voice my favorite song is Mike with the Doobie brothers It Keeps You Runnin.

My brother you should check out the Doobie Brothers Michael McDonald'was one of the lead singers of that group in the late seventies and part of the 80s before he left the group. And went out on his own

This is one of the coldest gangster songs ever recorded and a panty dropper too

Holy hair. Lol

the way you talk is so great

Michael’s sister Maureen sang back up on this song.

I remember when he first hit the air that people didn't know how to play him because he sounded too "black." Michael McDonald is the GOAT!

See, all folks have souls and we dance too. Just a different rhythm

Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle "On my Own"

"Thats you?" Blue eyed soul baby. I love it. Aretha Franklin used Mcdonld as her accompaniment in Ever Changing Times. Aretha didn't sing with just anyone.

Not gon lie, i been waitin on this reaction from you so yaay! HOWEVER Your reaction to Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin is still top tier 🤣 it's the very beginning for me. ❤ thank you for your thoughts Makes my day

Mike's sister Maureen on back up vocals.

That's Michael's sister singing backup.

I enjoy watching your reactions ♥️

Check the insane duet with Patti Labelle, On My Own. Omf. So good.

I'm 44 years old so I grew up listening to Michael McDonald's version of this song then when I was a teenager I heard Warren g come out with renegade now as an adult I really want someone to do a revised mash-up between these two because Warren g sampled the song originally I think it would be really awesome and kind of cool

Dude can't understand how Chuck Norris can sing like Michael Jackson 😂

I love when people hear this song and always recognize the beat from that rap song. 😂 I’m not a rap fan so I don’t know the title. But I have been a Michael McDonald fan since the womb. And it always makes me giggle when they hear the beat. 😂

My absolute favorite Michael McDonald song us wuth the Doobie Bros. "Taking It To The Streets"

He was in the Doobie Brothers

he has to give that look to the screen because the woman in the video n song providing those vocals is his sister lmao

🔥🔥🔥

If you like Michael McDonald, you need to check out Steely Dan! Peg is good, as is Hey 19, Deacon Blues, Black Cow, etc, etc, etc. All bangers!

Going chest for chest😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

❤❤❤

icon! sampled by Nate Dogg / Warren G and most recently Thundercat

Haha I think she was flying.

RABBIT HOLE ALERT!!!! He will be on the top of the pyramid in 2 bars.

So, I may have a different take on this... I haven't read any of the comments... I think he is sitting down writing this song for somebody that still preys on his memory... somebody who still haunts his heart... he is doing all of this while he is remembering them... And at the end when the "new girl" comes walking in, she is the person that he has as a replacement for the one that is in his heart.

WARREN G SAMPLED THIS BEAT..

I'm trying to turn you on to a song I think you and your viewers will really enjoy by CCR called Long as I can see the light, I guarantee it's fire.

Regulator! 😹

1. I think Ashanti’s voice would sound so good in the back drop on this. 2. Towards the end of the video I just kept thinking, ‘I wonder who had a harder time getting their hair to look like that. That white chick, or Tina Turner… 🤔’ Given 2 totally different hair types, it’s virtually a miracle either one could. But guess what. The blonde totally lost on this one, only because she had to fry, over-perm, tease, iron, and lacquer the h€ll out of her hair to do it, AND IT ALL PROBABLY BROKE OFF AND FELL OUT A MONTH LATER. Bummer girl. You do you. Let Tina do Tina. 3. I don’t know how anyone could make out with someone with all that prickly fur around their mouth. It reminds me of my dad. Yuck. I don’t get it. BUT Michael Mc’s eyes make up for it, AND his voice is almost like liquid, and the mellowness but intensity of him just overall, in general… I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in anyone else. His vocal instrument is unique. THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING THIS MUSIC GET FORGOTTEN. It actually is pertinent to music history as well sociological history. 4. AB, I really like your vibrato.

You played this at half the speed.

All these years later, Michael could easily be mistaken for Jay Leno. The resemblance is purely physical, though. Leno can't sing. 😁

NOT LET ME RIDE 😂😂😂 ITS REGULATOR. Nate dog and Warren G sampled it haha. Good try though brotha. Such a good song. Let me ride is dr Dre and snoop dogg is not in that song
