True, Mike was over exposed for a while in the 1980’s and 90’s. Everytime you turned around, there he was in another duet. But sometimes it seemed to work okay, in my opinion.
Rememeber his work with Patti LaBelle: “On My Own”
His work with (the forgotten) Christopher Cross.
Mike did the backing vocals on “Ride Like The Wind”.
McDonald also “sang” on a number of Steely Dan albums. Never cared much for his vocal stylings.
Michael McDonald did the vocals on the closing song of the South Park movie “In The Eyes of a Child”
Sure, life is kinda gay,
But it doesn’t seem that way,
Through the Eyes of a Child.
So, don’t give up
Even when the road seems long
Just find that child inside of you
You’ve got to find it in you.
Spread your wings and fly, to the brightest star
If ya want, I can get my friend Steve to detail your car
For around twenty bucks.
