Timeless Classic!! Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) Reaction

Adore his voice

Regulate

One-of-a-kind voice !

Somehow it has always been unfashionable to love Michael McDonald... but I've always been taken to a unique poignant place hearing him sing. Fan for life.
Also: great discovering you guys!

Blue eyed soul! ❤️

Never tire of this tune. 2 1/2 days without any internet. Glad to be back ❤

I'm pretty sure that's his wife in the video. She's also doing backup. Been married forever.

Steve Lukather on guitar and Louis Johnson on Bass also Jeff Porcaro on drums on the record.

If you thought Michael Macdonald was cool, you gotta get with people with blue eyed soul like: this is it from Kenny Loggins, Square Biz and/or Out on a Limb by Teena Marie, and Father Figure by George Michael. They're all fire. -Jocelyn

Check out the really good bass line on this song. Michael was pretty much the voice of the '70s & '80s - making appearances on many other artists songs as well as his own and the Doo Bee Brothers songs.

Wow, Mel, your hair is "On Fleek" I love it!

Such a great song!!

Produced by Ted Templeman and Larry Waronker. Written by Michael McDonald, Ed Sanford, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. All-star band.
Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson on bass guitar 🎸, Greg Philinganes of Lionel Richie band is on keyboards 🎹, Steve Lukather on lead guitar 🎸 and the late Jeff Porcaro on drums 🥁., both from Toto. Lukather and Porcaro were on the Michael Jackson album Thriller and with other musicians in the same year 1982. No wonder they worked like a dog 🐕 L 🤣L

Nate Dogg sampled this for the rap Regulate.

2 years after this sing was released, Michael McDonald finished a Van Halen song 🎵 The 1970s and 1980s were great 👍 for Michael McDonald.

Larry W produced albums for the late Gordon Lightfoot, Little Feat and others. Ted Templeman produced The Doobie Brothers, Van Halen and others.

Suggested videos 📹: 1 Toto and Michael McDonald perform I'll Be Over You 2 Gordon Lightfoot sings Auf You Could Read My Mind 3 The Tubes perform She's a Beauty 4 Van Halen performs I'll Wait live in Montreal 1984.

The unmistakable legendary rasp of Michael McDonald.

React to: Stop to love, Luther Vandross, the video

Michael McDonald.................

Has Warren G. ever shaken Michael McDonald's hand?

You know this song is a banger when someone samples it.

Tell me what you hear when you listen to Sweet Green Fields by Seals and Crofts............

Definitely more Michael McDonald!

From his time with the Doobie, Brothers...
Minute by Minute
Takin it to the Streets
It Keeps You Running

Then on to his solo career...
Ya Mo Be There (with James Ingram)
No Looking Back
Sweet Freedom
Blink of an Eye (this will take you to church!)
All in Love is Fair (Stevie Wonder cover)
Higher Ground (another Stevie Wonder song)
On My Own (duet with Patti Labelle)

And, of course, his unique vocal contributions to so many Steely Dan songs like
Peg
Reeling in the Years
Bad Sneakers

What a voice!

Michael McDonald has one of those voices that you know it's him right when you hear him. One of my favorites. Listen to some of his songs with the Doobie Brothers. I love your channel, your spirit, your connection & your chemistry.

His sister which is one of two with beautiful voices is the voice in the background

Warren G ft. Nate Dogg sampled this in "Regulate" - not sure if you recognize the riddim

I heard this song when it first came out and I love it still to this day. Definitely one of my favorites!!
