“I KEEP FORGETTING” by MICHAEL McDONALD

Michael McDonald was an American singer and songwriter who is best known for his work with the Doobie Brothers. Some of the hit songs during his time with the band include “Takin’ It to the Streets,” “Minute by Minute,” “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. Often associated with the blue-eyed soul genre, he has been recognized with multiple Grammy Awards throughout his career, and in 2021, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of The Doobie Brothers).

On this very day, February 12th, 1952, he was born in Ferguson, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis).
