MICHAEL McDONALD
American singer / songwriter Michael McDonald was born in 1952 and has enjoyed success as a soloist as well as a member of The Doobie Brothers and a session musician for Steely Dan. 
In the late 1970s, he took the wheel, driving The Doobies to a commercial peak with the award-winning US #1 single "What A Fool Believes". Doing so, McDonald injected blue-eyed soul into the band's sound.
In 1982, The Doobie Brothers split. McDonald continued as a session musician. His vocals were featured on tracks by Christopher Cross, Donna Summer and Kenny Loggins. 
That same year, McDonald released his solo debut LP ''If That's What It Takes'. It contained his 1st solo hit "I Keep Forgettin'". 
A collaboration with James Ingram entitled "Yah Mo B There" followed in 1983. Another duet, "On My Own" with Patti Labelle, reached #1 in 1986. "Sweet Freedom" also made Top 10 that year.
Later years saw McDonald sign with the legendary Motown label. He has recorded albums comprised of Motown covers as well as Christmas albums.
