Across a half-century of American music, Michael McDonald’s unmistakably smooth baritone voice defined an era of rock and R&B with hit records like “What a Fool Believes,” “Takin’ It to the Streets,” “I Keep Forgettin’,” “Peg,” “It Keeps You Running,” and more. In this candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend, the Emmy Award-nominated actor and comedian Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970’s California. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him to the heights of rock stardom—from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of The Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R&B artist. Along the way he relays the lessons he’s learned, sharing unbelievable stories with a matchless cast of music greats including James Taylor, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, and Quincy Jones. A moving and entertaining memoir that is sure to be a classic. Hardcover, 336 pages. Signed by Michael McDonald and Paul Reiser, while supplies last. Limit 4 signed copies per customer.
