    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.

    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*

  • @ivorcurtis3586
    @ivorcurtis3586 4 місяці тому

    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!!

    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.

    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.
