  • THIS IS IT - REAL SINGING This song and these guys are STILL great after all these years.

  • Saw them each in concert a few months ago, both were amazing!

  • White guys with soul!!!!

  • @paul2nou  With all due respect, it is my understanding that soul has no color requirement.

  • this crap that's out now-a-days.....pure shit. you know, there is a hyunai commercial airing on tv right now, with a car full of 'wanna-be-somethings' and the driver is doing this rap-shit, trying to sell this car to god knows what audience. well hyundai has accomplished this much: i will NEVER buy one of their fucking cars.

  • modern music? haven't heard any in years. this is it.

  • Nice, real seasoned talent....Priceless.

    Very rare these day's.

    Thanks for posting.

    Peace & blessings.

  • Awesome!!!!!!!! It doesn't get better then this cause, THIS IS IT !

  • Wow...

  • There was a hell of alotta talent on that stage !

  • David Pack on Guitar Too!

  • You gotta be a young person. Style of Motown is distinctly black musicians. And yes, a white guy that sings well is often mistaken for a black Motown singer. On radio it happened often. I know I did. Long before YouTube, music videos we had a few programs and concerts, albums, word of mouth and concerts to get all the information across. Sometimes it was a couple of years late from CA to remote southern states in rural areas. What a snotty attitude that its not a tribute instead.

  • Why cn't there be music like this these days???

  • @gilmorechan Read the attitude above and you can see why. Accepting people for their styles and talents is beyond words for some. Some people are proud of their color and style of music and its OK and correct to say so. In the past to not be recognized as a successful black singer was insulting to overlook their race. Time to move on people so we can distinct colorful music again.

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • Fantastic song I just love it.

  • This is my most favorite song. I bought it in 1979 and have been playing it ever since. I love it.

  • Steve Gadd and Nathan East - but don't forget Steve Porcaro's in there too!

  • @muzik027 Alex Acuna on percussion

  • what should i have savored? why am i not on a ship with pirates so many horses and all i need is a donut. put it down on gauze touch felt in a video of miracles buy it high five it goes like this...

  • Loved their 80s music. . . the music I grew up with :-)

  • I love them back in the day adn I still love them now. I'm so glad I grew up during the 70s and 80s and heard all that wonderful music. There's nothing like it anymore......

  • Saw them both in concert. McDonald this summer in Pittsburgh PA and Kenny Loggins in 1978 in Pittsburgh PA... Michael is still HOT and amazing... Kenny Loggins needs to tour.......these guys are TRUE MUSICIANS with amazing voices!!!! Would LOVE to see Kenny tour again......

  • When I was in high school, Kenny Loggins was considered uncool...in a Kenny G sort of way. But now that I'm older and actually think for myself and recognize talent, it's obvious that he has an incredible voice and one that has obviously held up over the years.

  • @bshen88 how anyone not see how much talents he have in just pants like any other man whole suit.

  • I wonder what Mike thinks of the latest version of This is it Kenny uses in concerts. It lost its soulfulness and was given a western feel.

  • this is real talent...omg...

  • I don't see it as an insult to observe that Michael has a timber to his voice that is not common in Caucasians. I just love it. I love the voice of Goliath in the animated series Gargoyles, Keith David. And of course, James Earl Jones. There are some differences, such as how black and white skin scars differently, and I don't know the reason for African Americans having a richer timber more often than white folks. When my daughter was 3, she asked why brown people are more beautiful than white.

  • wow. Maybe your daughter is right.

  • This is IT !

  • amazing voices and such good music wich chears u up and wanna believe in all the good in life... omg ,... cant say more than... this is it... love

  • Amazing how their voices have seemed to sweeten with time. Perfection!

  • Years after the original song was concieved & it sounds just as good as it did back in the day.

  • THAT,S ''POWERFULL STUFF'' BY SEAN HAYES ANOTHER GREAT SONG

  • Wow!!!!!!! Beautiful! 

  • Real singers. New artists don´t have to sing these days. People are brain dead now

  • un versión excelente de ese gran hit de los ochenta. Me encanta

  • ahhh...they can both still get it. great singers and song writers. music sucks now.

  • @rtf1212 No shit!~

  • Much different from the original. Love it, they're both so into it and sexy- talented singer-songwriters, both of 'em.

  • brilliant better than the manufactured rubbish

  • Songs that really have meaning & make u do a self-check

  • WISH I WAS THERE FOR THE SHOW

  • clintonfisher73: philosophy = virus.

  • These two guys must wanna throw-up when they turn on the radio these days

  • @omgduner91 Amen.

  • @omgduner91 you damn right they do

  • @omgduner91 fuckin' awesome post ahahahaha

  • @omgduner91 What year was this show?

  • Steve Gadd on drums, Nathan East on bass, totally nice.

  • THAT WAS REAL MUSIC

  • A treat for my ears.....listen to this at least once a week feel like I know them :o)

  • March 27th, 2011: This stuff draws small crowds and is considered "dated", and spears/aguilera/rap/etc. sell out sports arenas. Sick, sick times right now. Hey you reading this in 2090 -- some of us weren't idiots.

  • Comment removed

  • @dobb673 hell yeah! THIS is what music really sounded like....I'm sure they'll know in 2090 and beyond!

  • You know how to make a #1 song... sing what ever you want, and have MIKE sing backup on it.... it's called INSTANT HIT!!! ...and the nicest guy you could EVER meet!!

  • Great voices, I wished they could perform together in the NY area!!!!!

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWW WHERE U GOIN DAVE COZ DONT GO!!!!!..LMAO...

  • How can you NOT like this?

  • @soozstube mike is the most humble person he does not have a big ego man ray charles can see that lol

  • The intro was very smooth..

  • So comfortable in their own skin....it shows on stage!

  • One of the greatest songs ever written! Kenny & Mike are magic!

  • So smoooooth.

  • these guys are great together. I can't tell if they like each other though. I feel like Kenny really likes Mike but not sure if Mike likes Kenny! Ego is a weird thing. Respect and love makes a person more beautiful. Maybe Michael can give Kenny a bit of kudos and not just "Kenn Loggins Everybody!

  • @soozstube Kenny and Mike have been good friends for many years. Ego and Michael McDonald should not be in the same sentence. They guy has none.  Kenny appeared in the concert to honor Mike's acheivements.

  • This is one of my FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIMES!!!!!

  • Slick stuff! 2 amazing artists performing a great composition. Love this stuff!

    Also saw Steve Gad play in Canada with James Taylor. That guy seems to play any genre with relative ease.

  • Killer tune!! Killer groove!!

  • fuck yeah

  • I'd love to hear how some new cats perform this:

    Robin Thicke singing the Kenny Loggins part

    Jaheim singing the Michael McDaonald part.

    I think it would be killin'.....

  • They transposed it down at least a third....

    We're all gettin old. :)

  • Loved it, both singers compllimenting one another.

  • Wonderful!!!

  • Oh my... They are such good live performers.

  • A life changing song for me!

  • Keep the fire, boys. SO smooth!.!.

  • Steve "God" Gadd on Drums!!!

  • The note at 2:45 just makes this video so damn worth it!

  • My God, how did we plummeted from these 2 guys to Justin Bieber in little more than 2 decades. No wonder the Chinese are beating the crap out of us today...

  • This song saved my life, because it's up to you to decide what you want. If you want it bad enough go after it. Love Ya, Kenny LadyProwler

  • True music, great voices, no gimmicks, the sax player is juicy

  • Truly great musicians doing truly great music!!!

  • Hot damn Michael McDonald gets better looking with age.

  • I love Kenny and Michael...Michael just doesn't know it, but he's my husband!

  • Their voices, a good match...

  • Nathan East, the bass player, backs up Clapton and many others. Amazing bass player!

  • My comment was at ckreeves from 11 months ago, but sounds like a lot of folks (71) liked this bullshit comment. whatever dude/dudette.

  • Tell it proud, vittles! :>)

    Prophecy in motion, for sure!

  • I love the ignorance of some people..when a white man sings soulfully, he's a "white guy that can SAAANG", as opposed to just being a "man that can sing well" - his colour is put on the forefront. This is no different than saying "That chinese guy that can sing rock and roll. Singing with soul is universal, at the end of the day what is most important is the talent of an individual. All I care about is the way that a person uses his instrument, not the colour of the man or woman behind it.

  • @ClintonFischer73

    Teena Marie...

  • @ClintonFischer73 Just is not natural for a white person to have that much soul just a fact. Did not say they don't sound good.

  • @ClintonFischer73 -I agree with you, but let's be real about the fact that white dudes who sing soulfully is comparitively rare to black dudes who can, and it's a nice surprise to many. So don't get offended by that descriptioon.

  • @ClintonFischer73 Say what you want but if I wanna say "he's a white guy that can saang" that is what I will say respectfully. Sorry but that's just me. No beefing on the subject back and forth but that is how I am and I make no apologies for it!

  • @ClintonFischer73 You are a big fucking asshole.

  • This is so awesome!

  • you can really tell that these two have passion and heart in their music!

    Got to love it!

  • Michael's voice just melts my soul...lol. Kenny love his beautiful too... yeahhh! They both have soul!

  • his talent is overwhelming....the way he sings a song is unlike any other....he just adds so much beauty to it...a rare gift....beautiful...

  • Two of my absolute favorites together, man, it does'nt get any .

  • hermoso...

  • MM, the greatest backup singer ever, at one time during the late 70s, early 80s he was backup on 90% of all top ten hits, no kidding.

  • @cyberindigenous + @peterscoop = ok guys, i've just about had it. this is it. make no mistake about it.

  • incedible song !!!!

  • Oxygen for my heart!!!

  • Some songs are home for me and this is one of them..Love hurts..Simple..Cbono

  • La voz de Kenny Loggins la comparo con la ultima Coca-Cola del desierto: fria y refrescante. I love you, Kenny.

  • охуенчик

  • Dang they still sound FABULOUS ! Gives me goose bumps

  • maravilloso....

  • Lost for words, My Two all time favourite contemporary male singers together live....I can't even type fast enough. They wrote such excellent music, 'What a Fool Believes' means even more to me now after all these years. These guys are unbelievable and so Modest as well, which makes them even more appealing. WHERE is music like this today? David Pack...

    If you want to check out a great female singer, get Traincha, Look of Love! She was Burt Bacharach's personal choice to record his catalogue.

  • wow! goose bumps.. true music real talen

  • Michael Mcdonald and his voice....OMG!!! I love him :) so hot!

  • Two white dudes with SOUL!

  • @Shiftz33  Thats true

  • Wow! Steve Gadd!

  • One person has terrible taste in music...

  • Yes, this is him !!! Mr. Kenny Loggins! Me acuerdo de haberlo visto en Oklahoma en un concierto que pasaron en TV. Posteriormente participó en forma destacada en la canción de Michael Jackson y lione Ritchie: " We are the World, We are the children", producida por Quincy Jones. Thank you for the memories.

  • ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

  • Two of the world's best performers performing together. What more could we ask for.

    Heleen(Holland)

  • Two of the world's best performers together. What more could we ask for.

    Heleen (Holland)

  • KoKo would be pleased. John Oates not so much.

  • These guys sounded incredible

  • wow this is classic. i've always wanted to see David Pack singing with these 2 guys

  • Incredible! Awesome. Boy they really have got it! They can sing where you just want to join in and scream your soul out! Can't get enough!

  • A classic song by two of the best icons ever - sing my brothers.  Let them believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wonderful soulful voices

  • Amazing this song was a result of a street duel with Hall and Oates!

  • Love both of them so much!

  • Love seeing great musicians like Harvey Mason (3:20) performing. Good stuff.

  • so much is made of "singing superstars" these days. yet there are 2 men on stage here that could wipe the floor with most modern artists.. True Superstars

  • @vittles2012 man---that was really well said...I used to HATE these two when I was a kid...but how can one say no to these two?....unbelievable stuff.

  • @vittles2012 You are not kidding! Awesome post!

  • @vittles2012 Yes, a thousand times yes! I just don't think we will ever see the likes of these two men again......their unique voices,.....blended beautifully,............their song writing............style, performance, class............PERFECTION!

  • Is that Gadd behind that Yamaha kit?

  • @wardop Yeap. Mr. Steve Gadd himself. You can´t find these easily anymore. Great, everyone of them.

  • stemmen die je doen bewegen en dansen,yeah

    muziek voor de liefhebber,yeah

  • That term "Blue Eyed Soul" has to go! This is soul music at its finest and there is no other way to classify it...their race has nothing to do with it.

  • Thanks "cottonbuds" for all these clips from this concert.......the audio and video are just great ! This particular song in itself gives so much meaning to life..... Their two voices blend in harmony to the highest and create a relaxing feeling ! I applaud them both and you for sharing an awesome song and video...*

  • Where a the singer song writers like this in my generation

    Please some one discover these new talents so we can enjoy

  • Yes I agree..good stuff

  • blue eyed soul at it's finest! Robin Thicke take notes.......

  • For all you divas out there - notice how neither star minds at all taking a back-up line: in fact, they are digging on how great the other is. By the way, is that the Gadd-meister playing drums?

  • damn, they sound phenominal live... rare when a performance rivals cd quality...

  • Love this performance. Always makes me feel good and dance around my house!

  • Michael McDonald is SO SEXY!!! His voice just makes me tingle..WHEW!!!

  • nice

  • this is great

  • whoever posted this clip is heaven sent. watched this video over and over. never got tired of hearing it. its one of the best songs, best duets, best live performances i have seen. most especially the message, it pierces thru one's soul. we don't need to wait for miracles, we got to create it - stand up and fight! cheers!

  • Thank you Mikey...xoxo Janis....love this song

  • What I would have given to be there for this concert!! McD's band was there (I think that's Amy Holland on backup vocals) Bernie on guitar. A wet dream for smooth vocals!

  • GREAT SINGERS, REAL FUC**KIN MUSIC.

  • I love michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. They are two of my biggest influences in my music.

    Bella- please take a look at my stuff. maybe I can change your mind about music today.

  • This was my favorite song when it came out. Some of my friends will hear it now and think of me, how nice. I played it over and over. They are awesone together.

  • We're talking hot stuff here... One of the best songs ever... two talented vocalists with very unique sounds.... Watching this has moved me to tears, not only because of the song but for the fact that there's no music like this anymore and there are no singers with unique sounds like these guys... Sad!

  • Love this song. Reminds me when NBC had the NCAA Tourney.  The theme song.

  • Now this is really cool! Dave Kos, Kenny Loggins, and Michael McDonald?! I really enjoy this because this is true musical talent. Great song.

  • Kenny And McDonalds...

    All you need are some Pop-Tarts, peanut butter, a honey-baked ham and you'll have a Redneck Christmas.
