That voice. Those EYES. That hair. And yes, even that beard & moustache. He made so many of us swoon back in the day. And he's STILL swoon-worthy. Thanks for this. I'm smiling! 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙
Love this version of this song. Michael's voice is sooo gritty yet smooth at the same time. I believe it was originally written by George Davis and Lee Diamond and sung by Aaron Neville waaay back. Such a beautiful tune and lyrics. Thanks guys for reacting to this one.🧡
WE ALL had crushes on Michael! Have loved his voice since I first heard it...and nothing has changed. He can sing the phone book and it would sound amazing! Thank you!!
Michael can serenade and sing any song about love and set the mood for any couple out there wanting to feel romantic. His "Sweet Freedom" song from the film Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines (1986) is a classic.
Guys, you Have to get into his Motown covers , you will be blown away, this is an example of how great it is. You just dim the lights and put a loop of that on, guaranteed a mood will be created. Always worked for me
Hey there Asia & BJ, Michael McDonald is the man with "The Golden Voice," he is "One of a Kind," he is the epitome of "Blue-Eyed-Soul," and he NEVER disappoints because he NEVER misses!!! Mic-Drop!!! 🎤
Absolutely love this!! I have seen Michael in concert several times and he is such an amazing singer and musician! This is snuggle up with your sweetheart by the fire music ❤
I just listened the original of this, by Aaron Neville, last night. Coincidence? I wonder. I swear the Internet is listening to everything going on in my house!
Asia and BJ "PLEASE" listen to the original version of Tell It Like It Is by Aaron Neville. Aaron is one of the Neville Brothers who were a singing group from New Orleans, LA. You will love it from the first note.
Love Michael McDonald, awesome voice, love his music too. My fave songs of his are, No lookin back, I keep forgettin, What a fool believes, Sweet freedom, I gotta try. All awesome songs.😎👌❤️🎶
Michael, actually Is/was a Doobie Brother, our old local radio “Personality “ , would always say, ( when they were play’n, a Doobie Brothers song) and I quote “Let’s Roll 1 Up, W/ The Doobie’s, 😂😂😎😎👍👍👍
My favorites of Michael McDonald's are "It Keeps You Running" and "Minute By Minute." I feel they showcase his charismatic voice which is an absolute dream. *swoon*
There is a longer version of this by Michael! And those extra 2 or 3 minutes are stunning. Absolutely stunning. I know this because a radio DJ played it 25 or so years ago, and I happened to be taping the show. And he wondered why the long version wasn't on the Best Of collection. I've searched around for it, and have never even seen a mention of it anywhere. Someone please find it!!
Absolutely amazing song! In addition to this and the original Aaron Neville version, Heart also has an amazing cover too. You need to check this one out as well as Aaron’s. Love the channel guys!
I remember one guy from hee haw also did a cover of this song and he actually sang it good, I think his name was Archie and he always played a farmer and did the skit YOU MET ANOTHER AND POOF YOU WERE GONE 😀😀😀
You know who does an absolutely amazing version of this song? The band heart. I know you’re probably thinking really, but I’m telling you it’s an unbelievable version.
Aaron Neville's version is awesome and Heart has a live version on their Greatest Hits/Live album. Heart's version was the one I've always liked best, but Aaron's is a very, very close second.
Okay I have been a Michael McDonald fan for more years than I care to remember and of course I'm a big fan of the legendary Aaron Neville and Toomey tell it like it is is his best song❤❤❤ the first time I saw Michael McDonald video a few days ago I didn't listen all the way through to be honest because it was so slow compared to Aaron Neville but thankfully I went back and oh my God I'm in love with this song personally I think it's the best the song of Michael McDonald and that's saying a lot❤❤❤❤❤ and the orchestra his voice the whole thing is fire❤❤❤
It is a cover of the legendary Aaron Neville and his biggest hit tell it like it is and I think it was Nineteen sixty-six it came out and I was 11 years old😂😂😂😂
I’m usually an “original” girl.. but sometimes there are some really nice covers. And when it comes to Michael McDonald, you know how I feel about him! Everyone has their own tastes and preferences and you’re probably going to get slammed with comments from people who like Aaron Neville‘a version better… but hey, good music is good music. ❤️❤️❤️
Beginning to wonder if y'all are skipping reacting to Teddy Pendergrass's "LIVE" (and only version) of the Kenny Rodgers Classic "Lady" due to avoid comparisons. Y'all reacted to Kenny Rodgers 11 Months ago (Lady), & me and others have commented for you to do it, yet haven't heard it, nor hardly any other T.P. Music up hear.
I love Micheal McDonald but not on this side. You should check out Aaron Neville or Don Johnson singing this. They will knock this song out of the park.
That voice. Those EYES. That hair. And yes, even that beard & moustache. He made so many of us swoon back in the day. And he's STILL swoon-worthy.
Thanks for this. I'm smiling!
💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙
Yep, he's as handsome devil,lol.
Agreed!!
Agree on all counts!!☺
Definitely a silver fox! 😀

As smooth and creamy like butter! That voice,feels like he is singing to you!!

Nobody sings like Michael! Have to check out twice that he’s so good! Great with Doobie Bros too!
Absolutely love this!! I have seen Michael in concert several times and he is such an amazing singer and musician! This is snuggle up with your sweetheart by the fire music ❤
This man has an amazing voice... Thanks

That voice and he's not bad on the eyes either! LOL
Amen!
MUST HEAR Classics From BEFORE Van (The Man) Morrison Would Start His Solo Career,, Them "Here Comes The Night" & "Gloria"
..TRUST ME On These!!
Check out his great cover albums, Motown 1 and Motown 2......you'll love them both!!
My favorites of Michael McDonald's are "It Keeps You Running" and "Minute By Minute." I feel they showcase his charismatic voice which is an absolute dream. *swoon*

Michael or Aaron Neville? Both, please! 🎶💙✌ And I just love Michael looking into my eyes that way in this video‼
Wow Wow Wow!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every time I hear the songs you play, I feel so old, but you’re bringing back so many good memories in my life.
I remember a Heart version of this song from the early 80's.
Great song. Orginal was by Aaron Neville. Heart did a great cover of this. Definitely worth checking out Neville's version and Heart's cover.
This song was released back in 1966, Aaron Neville was the singer. Yes, all women have a man crush on Michael McDonald...talk about blue eye soul!
Heart also did a cover of this song. I may still have it on 45.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Sweet Freedom”!!
His voice is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love you two and I enjoy watching you guys❤❤
Great song. He slowed it down to this sultry ballad.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely amazing song! In addition to this and the original Aaron Neville version, Heart also has an amazing cover too. You need to check this one out as well as Aaron’s. Love the channel guys!
Heart also does this song , another great version
Oh wow, never heard this version before. Love it! I love the Heart version too, Ann Wilson can really sing.
I’ve had a crush on Michael McDonald for decades. Saw him up close and personal at a small venue a few years ago. I was crushing all night.
I remember one guy from hee haw also did a cover of this song and he actually sang it good, I think his name was Archie and he always played a farmer and did the skit YOU MET ANOTHER AND POOF YOU WERE GONE 😀😀😀
You know who does an absolutely amazing version of this song? The band heart. I know you’re probably thinking really, but I’m telling you it’s an unbelievable version.
You should check out, his Motown covers. He’s done two Motown CD’s and most of them he really nails! Ain’t No Mountain High Enough is one of them!
Thanks
You gotta listen to the original by Aaron Neville.
Aaron Neville's version is awesome and Heart has a live version on their Greatest Hits/Live album. Heart's version was the one I've always liked best, but Aaron's is a very, very close second.
Me too Asia ! And I screwed up and was supposed to have seen him in concert with the Doobie brothers but something came up 😢 Hopefully soon again
It would be interesting to react to Heart’s version of this song.
You guys would love it!
That voice....that voice.....that's my guy....he can take you there.
Don Johnson did a cover of it, too. Maybe, that‘s where you‘ve heard it before
I believe that is called blue-eyed soul😍
“What about us” by Samson!! Man must be heard
Okay I have been a Michael McDonald fan for more years than I care to remember and of course I'm a big fan of the legendary Aaron Neville and Toomey tell it like it is is his best song❤❤❤ the first time I saw Michael McDonald video a few days ago I didn't listen all the way through to be honest because it was so slow compared to Aaron Neville but thankfully I went back and oh my God I'm in love with this song personally I think it's the best the song of Michael McDonald and that's saying a lot❤❤❤❤❤ and the orchestra his voice the whole thing is fire❤❤❤
I love Michael but this is a cover of Aaron Neville’s original. Honestly I think Aaron does it better.
DEFINITELY!!
Aaron Neville was amazing, you're not wrong!!
💯 Aaron Neville’s brings out the depths of the pain, desire and exhaustion of the song.
We need to hear some Aaron Neville soon!
Michael McDonald did an awesome job with this song ....and he used to be very handsome.
Check out Aaron Neville's version from the 60's, A brilliant tune.
It is a cover of the legendary Aaron Neville and his biggest hit tell it like it is and I think it was Nineteen sixty-six it came out and I was 11 years old😂😂😂😂
Heart does a cover of this too that's also 🔥🔥🔥
Michael McDonald anytime!
McD Magic! You should do a video of his heartbreaking "I Can Let Go Now".
Heart sings a great version of this song ❤. It’s from a woman’s point of view 😊😊
I believe Linda ronstadt covers this song too
Aaron Neville was amazing with this song.
You should really do Isaac Hayes "Walk On By"
Love that song. Talk about swoon worthy..☺
I love his version and Arron Neville’s
I’m usually an “original” girl.. but sometimes there are some really nice covers. And when it comes to Michael McDonald, you know how I feel about him! Everyone has their own tastes and preferences and you’re probably going to get slammed with comments from people who like Aaron Neville‘a version better… but hey, good music is good music. ❤️❤️❤️
You should check out BLUE OBESSION or MOTOWN by Michael McDonald
Every woman has a crush on MM! Get in line! 😅
That's how you do it.
I think Arron Neville did this first. Please react to
1990 Arron Neville and Linda Ronstadt singing I Don't Know Much (live).
It's Fire.
I love this by the Aaron Neville
This was Percy Sledge's original, I think.
Aaron Neville. Percy's Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman" is outstanding!
Please do Aaron Neville's version!!🎶🎵
Need to listen to Aaron Neville version
No one sang it like Aaron
This is good though the original by Aaron Neville is incredible!
Check out the original by Aaron Neville
He did alright. Original much better in my opinion. But he does have an amazing voice
Michael McDonald made it his own song.
After hearing Aaron’s version… I don’t know🤔
Beginning to wonder if y'all are skipping reacting to Teddy Pendergrass's "LIVE" (and only version) of the Kenny Rodgers Classic "Lady" due to avoid comparisons. Y'all reacted to Kenny Rodgers 11 Months ago (Lady), & me and others have commented for you to do it, yet haven't heard it, nor hardly any other T.P. Music up hear.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒👩🚒🔥🔥🧯🧯
Michael's okay, but Aaron Neville owns this one.
A nice version by a man I love and respect. But the Aaron Neville original is far superior. It's a shame you didn't listen to that one first.
I love Micheal McDonald but not on this side. You should check out Aaron Neville or Don Johnson singing this. They will knock this song out of the park.
Omg he butchers the s... Out of that song. Once you hear Aaron Neville sing this song you won't listen to Ronald McDonald's version ever again lmao!
Heart does a better version than this
Heart's version is my favorite
