The extraordinary soulful voice of Michael McDonald has captivated millions of fans over the years and this 19-track UC showcases the biggest songs from this unique soul man.
The album features hits including top ten single ‘Sweet Freedom’, the Grammy Award winning single ‘Yah Mo B There’ and ‘On My Own’, a bittersweet Burt Bacharach ballad sung with R&B diva Patti LaBelle. Also included are seven passionate and soulful songs taken from the Doobie Brothers era including the Top 40 single ‘What a Fool Believes’ and ‘Takin' It To The Streets’ which became the title track for the Doobies 1976 LP.
With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late '70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a Grammy awarded star.
