With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late ’70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a star. He initially essayed his signature style with the Doobie Brothers, ushering in the group’s most popular period with hits like “What a Fool Believes” (which won three Grammys), “Minute By Minute” and “Taking It to the Streets.” McDonald disbanded the group in 1982 to pursue a solo career.
American singer songwriter Boz Scaggs hails from Canton, Ohio. He is known for his mega-hit singles “Lido Shuffle,” “Lowdown,” “Look What You’ve Done To Me,” and “We’re All Alone.” At one time Scaggs was a member of the Steve Miller Band and Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner helped him get signed to Atlantic Records.
