Michael, my dearest Michael. What can I say? This is one of my favorite songs. Thank you so much for singing it.................to me!!! People, I love this man so much. His voice is all I need. It also helps that he is amazingly fine!
How cool is it to sing songs with the writer of the songs you used to cover and sing in your hometown in your first bands? I can tell you how it feels to hear you sing them just like you did when I was a kid dancing in those places you played in Michael ... Magestic! It gives you a Good Feelin'!
Congratulations for you successful career and staying a nice guy! A life long fan! ;)
Somebody wrote this on another Micheal McDonald video and I share the sentiment exactly..."There's some people I wished lived forever...Michael McDonald is one of them."
one of the best live concert recordings I've had the pleasure to listen and view. Notice how this singer doesn't hide what he has and music supports his gift. Too many live concerts do not bring out the voice, but drowned it out with the instruments.
One of the warmest vocals ever....Michael McDonald always sings it heartfelt and smooth....greatness in that voice! Reminds me of his song Losin End! He is up there with Marvin Gaye in my book....
@muddack you need to get some help my freind this man has over the years earned his reputation he still is a global superstar his records speak for themselves
No disrespect to the terrific Michael M. but the original version by the incomparable and under-recognized Freddie Scott is the definitive, eternally haunting performance. Freddie Scott - a voice for the ages that never quite got its due, in my opinion.
As a McHugh as I am I am historically linked to the Scottish Clan McDonald from the Isle of Skye. Fact. I love this guy I am male 56 and married . We are linked back 1000 years plus.
I am 56 years old, this guy one if the best singers of my time ! He just lays it out there ! one by billy joel is't to bad!.........Beautiful song...............
I actually prefer this version than the one done with Ray Charles, even though I thought Ray Charles was great. Hey great job doing the video on this Dylan. Very nice.
Mum past away last night at 17.50 GMT.....I was lucky to hold her in my arms as she left me, I was able to tell her I love her .....guess I'm just lucky.....X
oh how sad tiddyfor bout ur mom ok i can help u there u could use ur sound recorder to record it then convert to mp3 bt there are other ways to do it i nomally get the vid then covert into mp3 but i have the software for it and I cant explain how to use it I am really a bad teacher of things...mainly coz I havent got the time to do it hoping u can get this song..:)
My Mother is terribly ill at the moment and may not make Christmas I've serched everywhere for a song to play at her funeral ..........Think I've just found it....................just got to figure out how to get it off here and on to a disc for the chaple ..x
Brilliant. I'm groping for a comparison among "rock" or any genre singers for that matter,(sans Ray Charles), and all I can up with is strangely slightly possibly Gregg Allman in his prime.

i request this song from michael mcdonald every time i can in concert....if you haven't seen him live.....you must...his voice as strong or stronger than ever...he sings all his songs in the same octave written just to stay true to them what 30 plus years later...i guess you can tell i'm a fan, his #1 fan but more importantly the meaning behind it....after all if ray charles loved his version enough to record with him, is anything left to be said i think not MAGNIFICENT, AWESOME, HEART WRENCHING
This song brings back so many memories of the 60's. I can't remember the original artist, but I played the 45 rpm record over and over. Michael does it so much better. I have always loved his voice and I always will. Peace!

He's the man. Black white all love him. He can't do wrong..he is one of the best soul singers out there past and present. Passion is his best quality and does have range with such a low toned voice is amazing
michael mcdonald is my favorite artist. his love songs are incredibly beautiful, with his passionate voice. i seen michael in concert near detroit with steely dan. it was a gift for my birthday from my girlfriend jeanne. t/y
Reminiscent of "I can let go now" just the voice alone can radiate the anguish of love lost . A voice that is unmistakably His. The lord got that one right.
