QUICK BIO
Michael McDonald (born February 12, 1952, in St. Louis, Missouri) is a 5 time GRAMMY Winning American R&B/soul singer (sometimes described as a "blue-eyed soul" singer), known for his trademark husky baritone voice.
He first gained wide attention as an adjunct member of the group Steely Dan, up to their 1980 Gaucho release.
McDonald was recruited by The Doobie Brothers in April 1975 when lead singer Tommy Johnston became ill during a national tour. As a member of the Doobies, he recorded some of his most memorable songs, such as "Takin' It To The Streets," "Little Darling," "Minute By Minute," and "What A Fool Believes" (which earned him a 1980 Grammy Award for Song of the Year).
McDonald has produced and/or appeared on albums recorded by many other artists, including his singer wife Amy Holland and Grammy winner Christopher Cross. He is also a co-founder of the small independent recording label Ramp Records, with studio designer Chris Pelonis and actor Jeff Bridges.
