With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late '70s. After singing backup on several Steely Dan albums in the mid-'70s, McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers in 1977. He was largely responsible for moving the group away from boogie rock and toward polished, jazzy blue-eyed soul. Prior to the Doobies' farewell tour in 1982, he sang harmony on several hit singles, including tracks by Donna Summer, Toto, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross. As it turned out, his solo work was a cross between the Doobie Brothers' white-bread soul and Cross' adult contemporary ballads. In 1983, he had a Top 20 pop hit with "Yah Mo B There," which won a Grammy. The following year, his duet with Patti LaBelle, "On My Own," shot to No. 1 and "Sweet Freedom," his theme for the Billy Crystal/Gregory Hines comedy Running Scared, climbed into the Top 10. Thanks to a telephone advertisement featuring his version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," McDonald's album Motown renewed his popularity. He followed it with Motown Two in 2004. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
Thanks for the nice comments on my page, cuz! How drunk were you when you wrote them? haha The acid music is fun but definitely has its limitations. I discovered that after about 10 minutes. But as Eno once said, "too many options isn't always a good thing".
Where are you now and when will you or your band be playing live?
Hey Lawrence!! How are you? I'm dying to hear some new music from you.
I have a new CD of Acid Loops that I'd like you to check out. (yeah yeah, I know you're not crazy about Acid.) I like this new one a better than my last one, it's more personal I think and it's like soundtrack music. I call it "Landlocked".
How have you been and what have you been up to? (in 2,500 words or less)
now we know what a swarmy toy shop owner really sounds like... and that the best solution to 60 cycle hum is to put the guitar player in isolation in the kitchen.
Great music. I think I hear some Leonard Cohen in your songs... but then again all your influences have Lawrence as their first name... so I guess I'm just wrong.
I've been listening to your EP alot recently. I really like it, and Becca, who is generally indifferent to music, likes it quite a bit. You should come do a tour of the southland to brighten up our dreary conservative, rednecky town
