Michael McDonald
Michael McDonald (born February 12, 1952, in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American R&B/soul singer (sometimes described as a "blue-eyed soul" singer) and songwriter, known for his trademark smooth, husky baritone voice. He is perhaps best known for his work as a member of the Doobie Brothers, performing and recording with Steely Dan, and for several hits as a solo artist and in collaboration with others.
Michael is currently releasing a new album on the Motown label entitled "Soul Speak" with a release date of March 11, 2008. Three singles simultaneously released from this CD have already accomplished the rare feat of charting on Billboard at the same time. "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher" debuting on Adult Contemporary at 21, "Love TKO" 39 on Adult R&B and "Walk On By" at 28 on Hot Contemporary Jazz Songs.
On February 17, 2008, McDonald performed "Takin' It To The Streets" during the pre-race show for the 50th Daytona 500, while race cars from the 80's drove around the track. His tour for "Soul Speak" started with a two night stand at the New York City's Blue Note where he played a number of unreleased Motown covers.
