HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL McDONALD

Michael McDonald was an American singer and songwriter who is best known for his work with the Doobie Brothers. During his time with the band, he contributed primarily with hits like “Takin’ It to the Streets”, “Minute by Minute”, and “What a Fool Believes”.

In the 1980s, he embarked on a successful solo career, recording hit singles such as “Sweet Freedom” and today’s song choice.
