Bro!! Micheal McDonald has one of the best male vocals in the business!

That boy can sing. Two of the best voices in the biz... It's nice to see someone enjoy this song as much as I do.

The 70’s/80’s were the time of smooth/powerful duets✨

This was a dream match between two vocal beasts. Patti actually was supposed to do the song with James Ingram. He couldn't clear his schedule, so she asked for Michael which was a match made in heaven. Michael McDonald is one of the most soulful male vocalists in recording history........one of my favs. And Patti is my baby........lol. Nice video as usual MAJ.

Great song, a classic❤️have always loved Michaels voice😍🤩

glad you digging old school Michael use to sing with the Dobbie Brothers. hes a hellava singer

Michael McDonald has done a lot of background and duo work with several artists worth checking out: Ever Changing Times by Aretha Franklin and Michael McDonald, Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross with MM on background vocals, This Is It by Kenny Logging with MM on background vocals, Yah Mo Be There by James Ingram and MM and we can't forget his work with the Doobie Brothers; What A Fool Believes, It Keeps You Running and Minute by Minute!

Without the constant interruptions the song was Boss. Keep up the good work. Buena's Noches Amigo and Mucho Gracias.

Michael is a baritone. Soulful as hell!

I love the fact that you’re really enjoying this song love it ❤❤❤

Yes, they were not in the studio together when this song was recorded or the video was shot. He was in California and she was in New York, Which is the reason for the split effect. And it does represent a break up. Patti labelle and Michael McDonald would not actually meet for the first time in person until they appeared on soul train. Patti recorded the song first as a solo project but was dissatisfied with it and threw the song away, but kept it in her mind and heart because she knew that it could be better. And decided that it would sound better as a duet. And when burt Bacharach and carrol Bayer Sager asked patti who she wanted to do the duet with. Her first choice was Michael McDonald. And they called him and he agreed, they recorded it and now you're listening to history. Burt Bacharach and Carrol Bayer Sager wrote and produced the song. So now you know from. Someone who has been following Patti labelle since I was 15 or 16 and now I'm 50. So I know. And Michael McDonald's music history began with the Doobie Brothers before going solo.

Thank you, Burt Bacharach etc, but Pattie knew her sh#*, as it's a classic and on the back of this I shall order her cd. You can tell I'm older hehe....

Michael is an extraordinary soul singer.

Wow you really went back! I was like 8 or 9 I think when I first heard this, never understood the lyrics but man these songs is what made me fall in love with love songs. The mood & vibes made me feel this song at 8years old not knowing anything about music or these lyrics. When I heard it when I got older I was like whoa! Yes accurate- I understand why I felt that song. 🥲🔥🌹🌹🙌

Michael McDonald was lead singer with the Doobie Brothers band in the ‘70’s Look up their song Long Train Running Patti and Michael made MAGIC wit his song ! Thanks for the play

She just talked about this on drink champs, she was suppose to do this by herself and she did not like it because they kept making her sing the word on over and over again and she threw the lyrics away and then they say what if we make it into a duet? And she said yes, I love this song

When this song first came out it made me cry 😂 great video 💯

TWO GREATS!

I love this song, but I love watching your reaction even more. Lol. So much fun to watch.

One of my favorites! Fantastic reaction.

You have to check out more a paddy Labelle she and her group. The bluebells were the original singers of lady marmalod. Back in the day she had some of the most outlandish haircuts ever❤❤❤

You should hear him sing "Little Darlin'" with the Doobie Brothers!

This song was originally written for Dionne Warwick. So glad Patti got it.

One of my favorite line from any song is "now we're up to talking divorce, and we weren't even married." ... Wonderful reaction video...!!! 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽

loved your reaction!

Thanks MAJ, I now have Pattie Labelle cd on order with Amazon...😉😘🎇....& Maybe Doobie Brothers too!👍

Amazing song 👍🔝❤️

I really really love your energy I can definitely Vibe with you and yes that record was number one for several weeks in 1986 it got a Grammy nomination it was actually Patti LaBelle's number one pop album also

If you liked Michael McDonald's voice, you will love Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", a #1 hit.

I love that face when Michael starts singing hahaha wholesome

1st of all I'd like the new look and I'm? Just. At the beginning and you? Are. Going? To be. F****** blown away. That is my. Prediction.❤❤❤😂😂😂

Most white male vocalists from the '70s were soooo soulful and smooth, because the lines between rock and soul was so blurred. They were heavily influenced by the amazing soul singers that preceeded them, like everything Mowrown! ❤🎼

Beutifull soulful anjelic smooth soothing ❤😊

Patti LaBelle and her voice is nothing but absolute beauty and to pair her up with Michael McDonald with his voice it was just magic. When he joined the Doobie Brothers, it took me a while to get used to it, being used to listening to Tommy Johnston sing, but he grew on me real quick.

Patti recorded her part in New York and Pennsylvania while Michael recorded his in L A

Written by "Burt Bacharsch" and "Carole Bayer Sager"

Love it!

Michael Mcdonald is singing amazing music

You should react to I keep forgetting" by Michael macdonald. Great song with an extra little surprise in it.

Check out Michael singing Keep Forgetting

Michael started out singing back up for Steely Dan. Then the lead singer of The Doobie Brothers got sick( Tom Johnston) and they ask Michael in 1976 to become their lead singer. The rest is History. Check out Minute By Minute, When A Fool Believes, Real Love, When A Fool Believes, Taking It To The Streets, It Keeps You Running. He did a song on his own called I Keep Forgetting, and in the 90's a Rap group did a version of this. It's Fire!✌️

You’re just getting started! Tons of great MM stuff! Check him out with the Doobie Brothers on Takin It to the Streets. Also him solo on I Keep Forgettin.

You should definitely watch them do this song live on arsenio hall show

Patty is in NYC and Michael is in LA.

It was a #1 smash

Let them sing! Research....They are equal!

Try i keep forgettin by micheal he is one superb singer

I would find it hard to stop it so early and talk as its sooooo amazing those to are the best ! on this song ..excellent !

Patti looking up on a building looking like cruella deville

Michael is one soulful, sexy guy, with a fantastic set of pipes !!!!! Patti is phenomenal ….. they make a great duo !!!!! 😘😘😘

Have you not heard “Doobie Brothers” What a Fool Believes, that’s Michael on Lead Vocals. He’s been with the Doobies since ‘75…..SanJoséBob

Hola, hermosas voces, hermosa cancion, musica! gracias por compartir!

Everywhere? Dang they were that big back then?

The reason he thought Michaels's voice would be thinner is he associated race with voice texture, colour, and tone. He took a first look at Michael, as a white man, singing with a black woman there would be two different tones and distinctions based on race. It wasn't until Michael started to sing his assumptions about a white man were proven wrong. The thing is he didn't want to say it in so many words. But it was obvious in his approach to the song.

Smooth ✌️😎

You need to listen more Michael McDonald. It's just a video which is filmed any artistic way to fit the music. Hard to describe Michael's voice. It's just soulful. Gospel and blues influenced. Not hard for those of us who grew up hearing so much great pop, rock, r&b, funk, country, gospel and jazz artists on the radio in the 70s & 80s.

Do you want to hear another matchup listen to Tina Turner singing with Bryan Adams

Yung Folks...😂

You know...i think I`ve fallen in love with you, the most [beautiful smile and bald] MAN...

Listen to the Dobbie brothers!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤

estas lindo..

6 pauses mate you just kill the enjoyment of this song no sub here love the enthusiasm.

"White" You wanted to say you expected to hear his voice sound white. :D

Take a Listen to michaels Song " I Keep Forgetting " !!!

Smokey I would describe his voice as smokey he also looks like an Ewok.

It's a performance bro! It's not real life....😂😂😂😂

Clearly you're unfamiliar with Michael McDonald's voice. His voice is the definition of blue-eyed soul. Check out the Doobie Brothers. He was lead singer for them for years.

Here you go! (Michael McDonald) kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5uWs7ijZLC4Y7A.html

You think Michael McDonald can sing??!!!! What the hell!! Michael McDonald can sing rings around some of the so-called singers of today and back in the day.

Say it. He has a very soulful voice for a white guy.
