All I can say is wow he can sing when I first saw this on later with Jools Holland I was blown away I went to go and buy the greatest hits 2 days later. Note for SOME of the people in the background clap to the beat you have a piano in the studio to help you..lol
Hes still sounds awesome even stronger than before. He is Gorgeous too! mmm mmm that white hair is just Beautiful. The Guitar solo was off the meat rack! Dang...love music from the 70's!
(Chorus) She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know Hes watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him... Somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe theres a place in her life Someday, somewhere, she will return (Chorus)
Hey! It's Ric Flair Wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! (J/K) Dang! What's up with that delayed reaction by the audience after Ric... I mean McDonald says the title of the song. It's like the audience's light bulb just clicked on all of a sudden when the realized "Oh... What a Fool Believes!" I remember that. I would have been like "YEAH!!!!". They should have gave this sedate audience regular instead of decaf. Michael McDonald's the Man WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Audience did cheer nicely at the end there.
agreed. jools is a talented musician in his own right, and in his own genre, but he insists in joining in and f*cking up his guests' music. boogie woogie twat to be honest. just thought i'd put my two cents in!
Even after so many years, McDonald still has an incredibly high vocal range for a man whose voice is so naturally low. Listen to him talking in the intro, he's a natural low baritone, and yet, that combined with his high pitch capability is what makes him unique. Michael McDonald has highest-pitched, low-toned voice in the business, by far.
Michael is an incredible singer/songwriter and one of my all time favorites. His voice had been in so many songs and it's so recognizable. It looks like he's having a very hard time hitting the high notes nowadays.
Ethnic race? I don't know what that means. You sound like one of those white people who are scared to say the word "black." I agree that Michael MacDonald is THE BEST, though.
This is Michael Macdonald and I listen to the YogPod all day!

Cette chanson ne vieillie pas ! C'est que du bonheur !
Les jeunes chanteurs d'aujourd'hui devraient en prendre de la graine ! La plupart d'entre eux n'ont aucun talent !
Vive Michael Mcdonald ! Sa voix est toujours aussi belle ! J'adore cet artiste depuis ma plus tendre enfance !

The sentimental fool dont see
Tryin hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

I'm not a Doobie Brothers aficionado but I just love this song. I think Danny Baker refers this music as 'yacht rock'.
