Back in 1998, I purchased Bonnie Raitt's 1995 live album Road Tested. That album included a lot of Bonnie Raitt's best loved hits as well as a few really good covers. Bonnie sang a lovely cover of Michael McDonald's introspective song, "Matters of the Heart". Imagine my surprise when I found it on SingSnap. I decided to sing it today. I think it turned out pretty nice.
Here he is singing it...
I think it's a very poignant song that many people probably relate to... Michael McDonald has gotten around over the years. When I was writing a whole lot of CD reviews, I went through a phase in which it seemed like he had a hand in everything I was listening to. But hell, he is a talent. I love the challenge of a beautiful ballad.
Nice. Always had a soft spot this one.

Bacharach, Labelle and McDonald - not a bad trio. He was Doobie Brothers before?
Why don't give America's Got Talent a bash?
I like that song. Are you telling me I should try out for AGT?
DeleteSorry, I keep slipping into Irish slang...definitely give it a try, why not?

DeleteThat's crazy, you look fine. You'll have a blast, as in a great time.
DeleteHoward Stern would buzz me.
DeleteStern wouldn't know talent if it !"%$%%%^ up his @(&^%%%$%&&^$£" with a (&^&^$%$$$.
DeleteLOL... I never listened to his show. Except for the time James Taylor was on and sang "Woodstock".
