James Ingram & Michael McDonald - Yah Mo B There

[MrSammythebull25]

Nigga for life!!

[213REALKILLA]

DECAN KING OF QUEENS

[PawtucketPatriot66]

This sucks! Nothing pisses me off more than a white guy who thinks he has the soul of a black man.....Message to Michael McDonald: YOU ARE NOT A BROTHER!

[BillyTheBastardChild]

@PawtucketPatriot66 racist

[BillyTheBastardChild]

@PawtucketPatriot66 racist

[BillyTheBastardChild]

@PawtucketPatriot66 racist

[wtnewton1]

@PawtucketPatriot66 Better to be pissed off than pissed on Negro

[boozygrogy]

@PawtucketPatriot66 - a lot of brothers would disagree with you. you should spend less time spreading hate and more doing what you do best which is flash mobbing a 7-11

[2012Steelerfan]

@PawtucketPatriot66 - Insecure much?

[MichaelJacksonFan87]

@PawtucketPatriot66

This is the one of the most ignorant things I have ever read. Music has no color and "soul" has no racial ownership. Open your mind a little.

[backnlove]

Is that Phil Perry @ 3:07 & 4:17?

[tilemaxx]

@backnlove Yes

[hotdogs9and9milk]

I heard this on American Dad.

[Crackmonkey213]

Luke Skywalker had to blow up the death star because thats where these tards recorded this song

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@Crackmonkey213 its actually a great song... musically speaking.

[sauermusicDE]

The Korg 01/W is a great instrument when it comes to emulate this certain kind of Yamaha DX7 Electric Piano sound. I used the same so-called Combination (B81 "Dyno Piano") in my "Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG" video.

[JAB5625]

Michael!

[P4875]

The youtube on My phone wouldn't play none of the rap videos I wanted to see but when I clicked on this it played smh

[MrSpemat]

[toasteeze]

[adamqd]

[purplekisses171]

" IF I HEAR YAH MO B THERE ONE MORE TIME!!!"

[thugg126]

@purplekisses171 "YAH MO BURN THIS PLACE DOWN!!!"



[thugg126]

@purplekisses171 "YA MO BURN DIS PLACE DOWN!!!"

[truegamersunite]

@purplekisses171 lol!!!!!

[mastermooky]

Take note of phil perry on backup vocals. That's the best voice in the industry. Check him out.

[ozzmonaut]

I think evry song could be made better by just adding Michael McDonald. You've heard Carribean Queen? Have you heard it...WITH MICHAEL MCDONALD!?

[TaeKat]

if i have to hear yah mo b there ONE MORE TIME, im gonna yah mo BURN this place to the ground.

[JDvorak2009]

[funkfanNo1]

Oh hell yeah!! Abe Laboriel on Bass, Lee Ritenour on Guitar, Jonathan Moffett THEN the might Michael Macdonald on vocals - love this post.

[idontknowshutup65]

[idontknowshutup65]

@cmckilla yes that was the reference I was going for.

[Constellashun]

@cmckilla the no shit.

[qbanmanny3]

MICHAEL MCDONALD... One of the best !!!

[ClnFrk71]

Sounds just as good as the studio version & that's not easy to do live. Just shows how good all these guys really are.

[Bullmongani]

This one of my favorites! Real musicians, real singers, no autotune, Real Performers!!!

[calvarado1520]

[52hogan]

[singinglawnchair]

[Khalidi0302]

[person5621]

[BILL51156]

TWO GREATS......

[nourdinefunkever]

excellent ! yah will be there !!!!!

[nourdinefunkever]

excellent !



[696969Daniello]

For all of these comments, remember music like this is all about love. Funny how one can misconstrue the purpose of a higher language and turn it into redneck streettalk. But no matter, the music speaks for itself and of itself.

[wootywoo1978]

Phil Perry catching the "Holy Ghost" big time @ 4:17....... Thumbs up if you agree

[yashespatel]

GO FUCK A GOAT

[bowban1973]

@yashespatel

[bowban1973]

@yashespatel

WHY WOULD YOU WRITE SUCH A THING AND YOUR A PATEL, IS THAT WHAT YOU DO BACK HOME? FUCK GOAT? NO WONDER YOU LOT HAVE ARRANGED MARRIAGES. STICK TO MUSIC THAT ONLY YOU LOT UNDERSTAND

[agapereign]

LOVE ME SOME JAMES INGRAM!!!!! AND MICHAEL MCDONALD!!! AND TOGETHER....magic.

[snucke62a]

One of the classic songs that the wonderful "Westcoast tribute"- musicians covered soo beautifully at Fasching in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday. Thank God for this kind of music and musicians - it makes life a whole lot easier to live! :o)

[mikkygurl13]

american dad brought me here, lol

[jenkins998]

Is your baby boy already on parole before he is born

[ieecalvin]

4:18 WTF?!?!

[mjsmith1965]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that guy @ 4:17 look like he's in pain? lol

[evanglillianlloyd]

@mjsmith1965 HAHAHAHAHAAAA IM KILLING MYSELF ON THAT FACIAL EXPRESSION Ill bet you are silly like me and notices all of of life's silly moments such as this

[usfenderfsdlx]

backup singer with male pattern baldness gettin groovy at 3:34

[JDvorak2009]

LOOKS to me like the backup band for this one is the Rippingtons. is that possible? I thought I recognized one of the guitar players.

[DudeLoveAndLight]

@JDvorak2009 The backing band is not the Rippingtons. The guitarist that looks like Russ Freeman of the Rippingtons is Lee Ritenour.

[solaris575]

Haha, same here! 40-yr. Old Virgin and "ya mo" I think, revived both of their careers... Ok - at 1:30 in, YA MO BE is alive an well. Check it out....

[hieronomy]

A few all star musicians . Bass and drummer shine ! Backup lady singer is just too

beautiful !! and can she shake it down !! This has such a soulful groove  .

[Mixxersmix]

i never really understood what this song was saying, but did love the vocal delivery.

[tychul]

who goes to a michael mcdonald concert. only in secret...

[Zachism]

I didn't know George Lucas was in a band

[xTigerx777]

AMERICAN DAD XDDD

[MNorm15]

stop putting the pussy on the pedestal

[HannaHexagon]

Chase and Status sampled the beginning of this song in their song "running"... Liked the C&S version a whole lot better, sorry. :/

[Americanjazzlady]

WOW....this is great!!! All the greats on one stage together. Lee Ritenour, Michael McDonald, James Ingram, Phil Perry. Not sure who the drummer is. Can you tell me please?? Thanks. Blessings to all.

[lucasisking]

I'd rather watch beautician and the beast.

[3llerTUBE]

Mr Bobby CALDWELL in the CHORUS (house) NO LESS

[dancandell]

This is the only white guy that can truly sing soul music. He is one of a kind, though I loved the Doobie Bros. music also.

[JQuile0881]

Guys....."Yah Mo B There" means "Yeah I'm gonna be there" ... it's not a hard song to grasp

[shazamcomics]

@JQuile0881 You're wrong, actual means "Yah-weh be there" (GOD) They tried to put God in it without scaring off people. NO, i'm not making this up or giving my opinion. You can find this just by searching.

[CONTENDER791]

@JQuile0881 wrong !!! They tell you in the first verse when they say " Heavenly Father " Listen to the words for once , its all about keeping the faith . pushing on. ' REACH OUT AND CALL HIS NAME !!!

[Bassmanwcm]

Not only is it Abe Laboriel on Bass but also its Alex Acuna on percussion

[hansumjoe]

lee sounds pretty excited here...he goes nuts when ANita Baker comes out and sings Fairy Tales

[DJPIURE]

medio temazo por siempre michael mc donald

[OLDINDIANS]

You're absolutely right. You don't have to be a prude to think dorks who imagine swearing and abuse to be a form of humour are a waste of space. If they already knew they didn't like this song, why tune to it? Must be a shortage of psychiatrists.

[dnt124]

Awesome music brought me here!

[adamknightify]

40 year old Virgin sent me here

[g35288]

yah mo burn this place down!!!!

[exodus20v8]

ya mo b there? up and over? what the HELL is he on about??? twat

[IMCcanTWEESTED]

@exodus20v8 I heard that Yah is short for Yahweh. God of the Jews and Christians. Not sure what the "Mo" means, but the song obviously about a spiritual connection to the heavenly Father. Read the lyrics. It's plain.

MacDonald is, or at least was at one time, a charismatic Catholic.

[exodus20v8]

@IMCcanTWEESTED I didnt ask what Yah means. Read my comment, its quite clear what I said my friend. I asked what the hell is he on about with the words in its entirety "ya mo b there up and over". Its just a bullshit sentence that sounds crap. "charismatic Catholic"? His link with the apostate Catholic church doesn't surprise me.

The song is CRAP.

[Americanjazzlady]

@IMCcanTWEESTED You are correct.....Michael McDonald is a Christian from what I understand. No one sounds like him. He is great! I have a Christmas CD of his and I love it.  ******Also, I just saw another comment....Alex Acuna is a strong Christian musician and in ministry. Also, Abraham Laboriel is also a Christian brother.

I love those guys!! I respect them and love their music...the jazz and gospel.

[sdcharger90]

4O Year old virgin brought me here LMAO!

[hackerionut]

@sdcharger90 hahahahah me too just paused it and went straight to youtube lmao

[oyousef11]

[rl1712]

Doesn't the guitar guy at the start sound like Trey Parker of South Park fame haha

[butanuku]

Michael still tastes goooood...

[StefanPriceUK]

The metronome sound ruins it.



[TheIrishlad12]

lee ritenour on guitar

[lazrblade]

@TheIrishlad12 ....and it looks like Abe Laboriel on bass

[BSLemoine]

“if i hear ya’mo be there one more time i’m gonna ya’mo blow my brains out”

[omgkeven]

@BSLemoine it's "yah mo burn this place to the ground." get it right before you say it retard.

[tshala23]

love love love this song but was sad to see that there was no rapport between two great singers.

[mrfunkster62]

Wish people could just enjoy the videos without being combative or vulgar; it's all good.

[beng1lh00ly]

LOL at phil perry in the background!

[YamashitaTsubasa]

James and Michael just howlin.

[Lolicat]

Hard to believe that nobody's uploaded the original promo VIDEO of this song!! :(

[GardioxNebilim]

Fuck american dad, The 40 Year Old Virgin brought me here. Just kidding, I love american dad.

[haggardjf]

"I don't care, anything. I would rather watch beautician and the beast. I would rather listen to Fran Drescher for 8 eight hours than have to listen to Michael McDonald. Nothing against him, but if I hear Yah Mo Be there one more time, I'm gonna Ya Mo Burn this place to the ground."

[bry3921]

@haggardjf well then go away. i got my own phrase, no trademark, you're hater ass is welcome to it: If You Could You Would. the eighties were ruff. WTF? it's just two cats who CAN SING getting down. if you could you would. i can

[haggardjf]

@bry3921

It's a fucking quote from 40 year old virgin. It's a good song, get the fuck over yourself fag.

[bry3921]

@haggardjf let's all just calm down. i missed the reference. forgive me. I've been getting over myself for 57 years. you're mad about it, you're hating , you called me a Fag It's not the anthem for a generation. they are just 2 soul singers. I've lapped you on the track son. Fag and Fuck needs to be face to face. step off!

[haggardjf]

@bry3921

For a person of 57 years, you come off as an extremely immature middle aged person.

Any wise 57 year old would have kept their opinion to themselves in the first place.

However, it does make sense, considering you didn't take a single moment to at least

google the quote that I'd poster. Key word quote, as in quotation marks around the comment.

Fag.

[adamedwards94]

American Dad sent be here!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1Stunna2323]

And for the millionth time.... Paul Rudd sent me.

[cman122333]

Anyone else notice that Chase and Status's song 'Runnin' uses the same piano melody?!!

What the fuck!

[dangerswitsh]

@cman122333 Yea i just noticed, im pretty sure they sampled it! great sampling from them to create a dubstep track!

[babah77088]

Classic

[CrazyOldMaurice69]

If I hear "Ya Moh B There" one more time, Yah Mo Burn this place to the ground.

[mcoope15]

Lee Ritenour on guitar! Nice!

[KOAMAW]

@mcoope15 Nice catch. I thought he looked real familiar. A lot talent on that stage!

[azkeyz]

4:17 backup singer gives serious face.

[azkeyz]

Mezmerizing Performance.

[azkeyz]

American here , it's just a fake jacket we can take off , we're just edomites , melchizedeks, that's who we really are , some levites too.

This performance is something I can't forget ...

Ya is the key to change.

[fittingly]

Thank you Lord Yeshua the Christ, Son of my only true Father, for loving me.

Thank you Lord Yeshua the Christ for accepting me as I am — a sinner undeserving of Your loving grace.

Thank you Lord Yeshua the Christ for dying for me so that I might have eternal life through You and You alone.

For all these things do I pledge my thanks, love and devotion to You, my Father, Yod Heh Vav Heh.

[SweetBrwnSuga]

if i hear yah mo b there again, im going to burn this place to the ground. *please tell me that someone knos this quote!

[MarineSpartan1]

@SweetBrwnSuga

Its from the movie "The forty year old virgin" with Steve Carell....

[SweetBrwnSuga]

@MarineSpartan1 Thank you! Thank you SO much for knowing this =) FYI: u made my day REALLY!

[funkykazu]

ジェームスのダンスが変なおじさんみたい。。。

[mgk81]

This is terrible. I can't believe anyone listens to this kind of shit willingly.

[espnjason]

@mgk81 And I'm more than certain someone from somewhere would call into question your taste of music as well. Judging by your comment, I suppose what you listen to isn't any better and likely far worse. I'd probably say the same thing if I went through your iPod. Fortunately enough, I don't have that kind of time. Have a good day.

[mgk81]

@espnjason Impossible. I listen to everything from Aaron Goldberg, to The Beatles, Beck, Blur, and Cake. I listen to Hawksley Workman and Hextatic, John Coltrane and Juno Reactor, Wayne Shorter, Wilco, and Zero 7 (and I also listen to bands in Russian and Japanese that you haven't even *heard* of)...but not utter shit like this. Cheers.

[choco33333333]

tochi from american dad got me to search this xD

[player0639]

Despite his appearance, I have always thought that Michael McDonald was black, because only a BLACK MAN can have that much soul!!!

[gblueslover2]

@player0639 You should look up Allen Gorrie on you tube then

[madelle33]

smoooth ... just great...

[deliverednow]

i remember this song, but I thought it was called "i will be there"...

[xCatalepsyx]

this is hideously bad...but just had to check it out to see what the cause of the majority of arsons is.

[mongoosedawg]

Yeah that's a great sentiment and everything, but this shit sucks.

[jrjones0327]

This should show that people of any color should be able to join in the glory of music and not worry about race but, know that music inspire all!!

[NightsSilentsShivers]

yah mo b there for me still?

[radudeATL]

And here I thought the little Asian kid on American Dad was singing Engrish. Well shut my face!

[babiesboy1933]

@radudeATL lol, I'm watching American Dad now and saw this.

[silentrep]

Pure class,

Love the Dobbies(Michael) and James rocks.

Good times :)

[jiminulen]

@silentrep Hell yes.

[Daftchild89]

HAHA THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN!

[RylanGreer]

[t9troupe]

Principle Louis should have a spin off!

[mizzhiya13]

[nicknjonfilms]

Pause at 4:16 and you will see the 1 backup singer with an awkward ass expression and it looks like the female back up singer's tit is hanging out

[bockybalboa]

@nicknjonfilms Cocaine is a helluva drug...



[rush0321]

American dad brought me as well!! God I love the parody! I see why the principle Louis likes James Ingram. Not too bad lol!

[SAXYRIC359]

@rush0321 Yo that is Phil Perry makin one of his famous faces while singin. Look him up and you will see that not only does he sing background for many, but can outsing any of them too! And yeah it kinda looked like a tit comin' out but you must have been lookin really hard! LOL.

[threepeater]

See their solo stuff as well as the many " side " gigs they've played....Lee Ritenour, the guitarist is known as Capt. Fingers and has been a professional since 16 yrs. old ( see his work with Fourplay as well as with George Duke, Marcus Miller and Larry Carlton.... Michael with the Doobie Bros. and James Ingram's solo and duets!

[jaku12ify]

Toshi brought me here!

[Felicia1083]

James Ingram's jacket brought me here.

[shygirl2529]
