Yup. I just saw a #short with Michael McDonald talking about the skit with Rick Moranis doing the backups on this song.

to me music is one of our fruits... "you'll know them by their fruits." Father God is good always!! ☝🏾4/24 🙌🏽

here man

👍🏻🇺🇾

Me too.... 😊

Thus one is always on my playlist every morning.. it perks me up!

it's still horrible music

Way underrated!

I am defenetely 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

I'm with you in 2023 and will be in 2024 too ...

Most days.

2024!

I am! Blown away by these two. What am incredible combo

Yup I am - loving it too

Me❤

I'm am ❤ I'm always watching ❤❤

He's rocking the Ric Flair blonde/gray hairstyle look too. Wooooo!

Stumble across this song, loving it, teal music ❤

I know that’s right!

Look up Jim Jenereaux. He is a carbon copy of many older singers like Michael Mac and Chris Cross. He is talanted

Me!!!

Me especially this iconic 😅

ME!!!😢

🤚

I love how Michael is just the backup guy in this and a lot of other songs.

Same here!❤️

I totally just felt that too a second ago--10/12/23 1:08 AM EST

You can just tell what a great artist and entertainer Michael McDonald is backing up another legend with no vibe of upstaging Christopher Cross. Just being able to bust it out on his part with confidence and soul but it's still Chris' song. Wow!

Michael Rules!!!!!!

I don't roll them anymore but just love the music. As they say 'they don't make them like they used to' 😊

Puff puff pass Terry! ❤

I'm 71 and still rolling with it❤🎉

Am 64 today in my bak yrd jus had 2 an zonin on this music man🎉🎉

Old farts shouldn't be rolling!! 😮🙄🤣😆

Robert Cotgrave I can pick it out in any song, so distinctive is its timbre.

What IS it about that voice? Always made me crazy thinking about it. The delivery, sounds like he has a Life Saver in his mouth and tryin' to keep in place. I’ll ask Wings of Pegasus about doing Michael Macdonald. Have you seen his channel? A guitarist music scholar,. If you watch only one, see how he breaks down distinctive style of Sam Cooke. Or Hendrix........ ohhhhhh, that’s it......

I melt when I hear his voice. Both men are talented, but Michael is amazing. 🥰

He is Amazing...love Michael McDonaldo

He is Amazing!! Love Michael McDonaldl Always has been.Wow! And I didn't know Christopher Cross could play a guitar like

He and Eric Johnson go way back together in their Texas days.

He's got nothing on Kris Kross.

@@scottoshea9440 who tf is that?

He (Christopher) once filled in for an ailing Ritchie Blackmore during a Deep Purple tour while they were in Texas. How cool is that? :-)

​@@scottoshea9440 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Same here! I just love Michael McDonald's signature voice. The BEST!!

@@jameswelsh20221 Actually.... it's none of your business mate.

Love this version😎🙌🏽💯❤

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! When Michael comes out! So awesome! Me I’m watching 2020! Great music

Outstanding this is the way it is done it doesn't get much better than this Boom!

I am

The same for "Toto - I'll Be Over You"

Nice

@@michaelm7717 Good point, very true. 👍

Michael McDonald has a Very Special and unique voice, and beautiful too. I am SO glad he is still making music and sharing it with us! We appreciate that you still care about your fans and still provide and share your music with us here on this platform. Whereas there are SO many performances that we would never have seen, from across the country and across the world. I am VERY glad that I get to see other performances here on KZfaq. Thank you! 💜💜

Disagree Schmuck.

❤🇧🇷

I watch this video a lot

Hope Christopher is doing better.

Warren G and Nate Dogg/ regulate : sampled I keep forgetting and most people don't even realize. not to take anything away from them too but it's almost like getting a free hit you can't go wrong it's hard to fuck that melody up lol.

also Toto and Brenda Russell!

I have always been totally in love with Micheal💕💕💕

Mike did so much to help other musicians over the years. One of the most humble shy guys you'd ever meet. A good soul.

You said it

Probably Michael Omartian.

Could you imagine these two in a bar getting drunk and then in walks Hall and Oats...

@@shanemahler6830 Yeah, that's Yacht Rock Episode 2.

i agree

Im a child of the 90s and i got goosebumps ❤

Goosebumps are good - shedding a tear is even better :)

Especially on that MM part

Er, this song is from the 70s.

Absolutely ❤

Yes, smooth as butter 😁

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN

And Alex Acuna on percussion

I thought that was him (Steve Gadd)- thanks for confirming!

Gadd...is rad...worked with him on James Taylor tracs

As soon as I saw Gadd I thought how could I have missed this until now? What a great performance by everyone involved .

I IM such a fan I totally agree from the hippie era love and the music still✌🏼

The 80’s was the best decade of music, movies, tv shows and life in general.

58 brother and still listening to it , is part of my life

@@trevorroeder117 it started on the late 70's from there it was like a train and I was in the Military all over EUROPE . NO MORE NEEDED TO BE SAID

Indeed. How lucky were were to have been young in those times.

Thanks for your continuous love and support Nindy Hunt ❤️❤️

How long have you been a fan of mine Nindy Hunt???

Since the 70s

Thank you so much❤️ Your support is what keeps me going, so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and I would love you to join. It will make me happy. Write to me directly on my Gmail that you you see on my discription...

@Dixon Bidenzmouth, your comments clearly reflect your IQ. Thanks for sharing your low test score with the world!

So am i glad he is still with us.

Wow never knew that .

Chris was writing hits for others and Michael told him he should be singing these hits not others. The rest is history.

Christopher Cross also has a distinctive one of a kind voice. you know it's him as so as you hear it.

Favorite favorite song that is sung by Christopher Cross. He has an interesting voice and I love to listen to him as well as Michael McDonald. Absolutely love these two guys. Wonderful to hear them!

@@susanbezio1529 oh wow!! How can I watch some more about this?

junk music

He started out playing rock around TX and went solo.

Dannnnggg!😳💚💚💚

I’m pretty sure he played for Deep Purple for a brief stint…he’s no slouch!

I gotta admit he caught me by surprise. And I was born in the summer of 1972 and have known this song for decades.

Yes that’s the first time I’ve seen him whale on his guitar like that I thought it was someone else that did those end riffs

YES! January 17, 2020.

Yup Jan 18, 2020

no, 2019

Michael Mcdonald is back with the Doobie Brothers in 2020, for their 50 year reunion tour. Concert of a lifetime, and I have tickets. Can't wait !!!

@@calibermoon have fun. I'm so jealous.

Love my music need to hear it everyday.

always 😁

Beverly Larson , same here 😃

Yes

In 2020, 2019, 2018...

Indeed! His catalog of background vocals is phenomenal, not to mention his lead singing!!! Truly a rare gift to music in our generation!

I don't think he can be called underrated. His voice is one of the most respected and oft-sought after in American music since the mid-70s.

sebom141 to be slightly contrary...michael mcdonald is one of the most prolific voices of our times...and i agree that his sound stands out as remarkably unique,but to call him underrated?...if he is “underrated “ he’s kinda underrated like Donald Fagen or Darryl Hall or Bob Dylan. if i had a million bucks to produce a single,i’d drop $250k for one sung word from mr. mac donald that i could use throughout the song

Best truth I heard all day!!!!

sebom141 Michael doesn’t have to be a radted when you’re the ambassador of rock ‘n’ roll

Never. He needs a shampoo endorsement....yesterday.

👍👍👍

And he seems to still have his full range. Unfortunately not so for Christopher Cross.

Funny! Beautiful hair and face! 😊

AMEN AMEN

18dmedic here here !

Music of the sixties also

well said and spot on the very best👍🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼💽

J'approuve indeed!...... best time of my youth

God bless him!

MrRager05 c

Hearts and hearts for this touching comment

Oh my, how old was the old man? I remember this song from 1979... Must have been a young man... You are a good son, you will always be blessed...

+Dave Bliss solo guitar thru a Dumble amp helps too

+Dave Bliss A little trivia.....Chris was the original owner of Stevie Ray's famous #1 Strat.

+Dave Bliss He was on Sunday Morning a month or so ago and he said he was traveling and a ticket agent said to him, " Christopher Cross, there used to be a chap by that name who sang well but he passed" funny thing is he has written hundrads of songs that you would know he just didn't perform

This is not true.

He is a great guitarist, my statement was true I watched him on the show Sunday Morning and he said it.....Christopher Cross said it he is alive it was just something someone said to him

Yes they sound great together!!!!!!

Now you are talking! I remember seeing them with Mr McDonald on piano and vocal!

Yes it was! So much talent with the most beautiful soulful voice and there is no mistaking it. I love all his songs and he is beautiful on the inside and on the outside.

He was fantastic on Peg!

Also on Toto’s I’ll be over you!

Also add Kenny Loggins in the mix. They wrote What A Fool Believes together.

You are 100% right! I have always loved Michael Mcdonald and Chris Cross too and i still do and i to this day always watch their videos of the 70s and still watch them now very often because these two are amazing talents as well and i love their duo together singing Chris's hit Ride Like the Wind. They are amazing together and we are so blessed to have their music because they all helped make the 70s one of a kind music era for sure and all of us who lived those days with it there is no comparison.

Didn't know Rick Flair could sing like that! Lol

U see Phil Ingram back there?

I think that is kim carnes

the band was killing it and having a blast.....they knew it was hot

The blond woman on the end is Michael McDonald’s wife, Amy Holland.

@@ayh7145 thanks 😊

Total Respect and definitely Amazing voices. Have always loved them both.

austin teutsch i wish i knew him personally. seems like the type that i would mesh with. saw him live couple of years ago...loved every minute!

This is great information. Thanks.

I remember watching the grammys that night was so happy for him!

austin teutsch Don't forget Eric Johnson's most beautiful guitar solos on Minstrel Gigolo. He was from Austin too.

Gee that’s a great story

Nobody can play the same,today is no music only whow can win thé money with thé music computer...

Boy! You're late,you've missed so much

@@gloriacarlton9180 Better late, than never..

The good old days. When all we looked forward to was the weekends and a 6 pack of Bud Light.

I agree with you. Songs back then were so beautiful and the groups and solo's were amazing with their talents and ability to make us feel so happy and peaceful with their voices and all the great music they brought for us all to enjoy. Times with America were very relaxing and their music always takes you to happy times and memories. They were great then and they are great now and i love many more talented groups of those years too and im 63 now but havent forgot one thing about how happy the years were then and ppl just seemed so much happier than now with all the stress in their lives. Very good more simpler times. In school i was always glad when Friday's came because it meant a long happy weekend being with family and friends but now not as much, everyone is always just trying to make it in life but my music of all those years ago always make me feel peaceful and makes me think im right back there again.

Ditto…I just turned 66 and it’s high volume every time I hear this great song…and this superb live capture from Cross, McDonald & great ensemble of musicians is off the charts!

A good song remains a good song! Whether it's 2:30 or 7:30 mins. It was a different era! An album was fukk of 8 / 12 great tunes then.

Another good duo is Loggins & Messina. The Baby’s.

Guadlupe Rodriquez And he’s my Homie from San Antonio Texas

You are very right about that. The 70s were the very best of all times and if you could bring them back i would love it because it was a very good culture of music and i had the honor of living in the 70s too and i was a very happy teenager with the music and groups that were so very talented. They sang from their heart and those songs and talent will never be rewrote again because the old days cant be brought back but i sure wish they could because i miss the old days and i always played my music back then and i still listen to it now and im 63 but i will never forget and im so thankful for each and every group and amazing songs they gave us.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions!

Snow white hair turn you on😆

Ricci blue-eye soul, that’s Mr Mc Donald ❤️

A Silver Fox with a smooth sexy voice. 💖💖💖 I love Michael McDonald.💖💖💖💖 What a great combination...Christopher and Michael.
