Michael McDonald


This man is the best of like, three or four worlds. You know the worlds I'm talking about. He knows how to get down in earnest, but he's still cool enough not to take it all so damn serious. He's like the baby that Santa Claus and James Brown created during that one mellow/wild night of drinking too much Catdaddy. Except he doesn't dance. "Takin' it to the streets"? Yes. "Minute by Minute"? Even my cat likes it. Warren G.'s only hit (sorry) samples "I Keep forgettin' ". He's like that cool uncle that is always coming to your graduation/30th birthday party/wedding reception/barbeque dressed sharp, spewing slang, and doing a steady two step to the music. Also, he was a freakin' Doobie Brother.
