When I was in my early 20s circa 1980 whenever I heard his instantly backing vocals on any records ( Toto, Christopher Cross, Joni Mitchell etc) I recognised the albums he contributed on as a hallmark of quality and I bought these albums. Of course, his contributions on Steely Dan, Doobie Bros or collaborations with the likes of Patti Labelle or James Ingram and others goes including solo offerings goes without saying

Michael McDonald. Thank You for your craft. Nobody sounds like You. Nobody.

When your voice is this good.....when it’s so distinctive.....you can hear him and know instantly who it is......a voice you never tire of

There was literally a couple decades that were ruled by the Michael McDonald sound. He alone changed the sound of music.

There is only one Michael McDonald....simply amazing. I love this live version!

Michael's voice is ridiculously beautiful!

He soothes my soul.....🙏

His voice is so soothing. Like a blanket for the soul.... :D

I love this song from Michael, he is a true legend. Where would Doobie Brothers have been without him??

This is THE BEST!! I have to admit that M McD is THE best blue-eyed soul voice on the planet..love his soulful jazz arrangements too..you don't hear this kind of music anymore..energetic..authentic...done with passion.and spirit ...and his work is CONSISTENTLY good.(awesome sax ). Wow !!

The most amazing voice...of any male artist ...in my opinion

What a class act. Pants don't droop, no gold in his teeth and no cap on sideways. Pure class....

This song is the best. Michael looks, sounds and is at his best here. He has soul.

unreal lyrics. "chalking up the hurt, we live and we learn" so true

On a scale of 1-10, the Unique qualities of his voice are a 10.

Love it when his facial hair still had some color.

There are some people that I wish would live forever, and Michael McD is one of them.

timeless Michael. What a voice!! Thank you

This song takes me back to when great music was made not manufactured. For any Baby Boomer we had great times from the music of this era. Michael since your days with the Doobie Bros, thank you for creating timeless music.

I was surprised to find out that he is just now only 60 years old. Didn't realize how young he was when he did all of these songs. I guess because of the gray hair and beard. Anyway this guys voice has just always been awesome. I wish they made music like this today.

Exactly. Fagen and Becker were the guys, and all of those cool parts that McDonald sang in the studio were all the genius of those guys. McDonald was just the right guy for those parts, and they benefitted greatly from it. He's a beast.
