@MATTHEWJAMESmusic82 Now thats incredible. Not The Doobies either? How old are you? Well, nevermind, that dont matter. Fetus's know about the great bearded one.lol
@namijoh word life.........and not just this track either....all the tracks that he sings on with The Doobies too.Funky scrump-diddi-umptuous music. Its a alot of em out there like that from the 70's. Steely Dan,Hall N Oats,Gino Vanelli,etc etc.They all funky den a mafucca.Fuck wit me.
@bun223 You're right....it doesn't fit. Emmylou Harris is famous for more "country-type" singing. Check out "Together Again", "Here, There & Everywhere", "Evangeline". I think you'll like!!
@ladyfuschia You're right..... I like her voice more for country. And plus... it sounds like more sincerity in her voice, when she sings country.... like she's really comfortable with that style of singing.
This was from an HBO special in the 80s (87, apparently.) It was an all-star tribute to Chet Atkins. There were a lot of famous musicians playing their hearts out. I hope that somewhere this whole special is online. It was really good.
The female singer is Emmy-Lou Harris. To the nose-picking, hamburger-eating obviously american nimrods who had a problem with the "foreigner" speaking at the beginning of this piece. The speaker (Russian?) was setting up the next performance for his audience, to which I assume the person who was kind enough to post this video belongs. You imbeciles are not at the center of the universe and YOU are foreigners to the rest of the world! Trust me, the rest of the world views you as ignorami.
Like 2patero said - smokin'! Just awesome....M. McDonald's vocal artistry is just awesome - serious R&B voice of the ages. The vibe is awesome. That held-tension, energy-charged, emotion-edged, "straining-to-the-edge" sound that comes at you in that fabulous vocal style places him in the realm of the greatest vocalists of all time.

Michael says 'Emmy-Lou Harris' at the end of the vid, so I'd assume he's talking about that singer.
