Michael McDonald

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. With hits like "What a Fool Believes", "Minute By Minute", "Taking It to the Streets", "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)," "Yah Mo B There," "I Heard It through the Grapevine," McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a star.
