I love Michael McDonald's voice but I can't hear his name mentioned anymore without thinking of this:

Although I think he is a damned fine singer, I actually preferred the Doobies pre Michael Macdonald.

My fave album of theirs and one I still regularly play, What Were Once Vices are Now Habits.

Ya mo be there is my all time favourite play-along-with-a-bass number. What a groove. But then everything he does is brilliant.

[/quote]A great album, takes me back to being a teenager in the 70s. The perfect album for playing in the car on a bright summer's day.

One of my fave vocalists, been to see him too. Even like his Motown albums. Oh, just remembered when I went to see Steely Dan back in 1974, they had him in their touring band too.
