You can see the look on his face when he realizes Warren G and Nate Dog hit that beat up.
I can’t hear the beginning of this song without hearing "Regulators! Mount up!" - great sample used by Warren G
I love watching people realize where samples came from :)
Right at 0:34
At my age it’s hard for me to understand how anyone could NOT know this 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@marisagettas But folk still can't compute McDonald simply lifted the chorus I keep forgetting from the original I keep forgetting sung by Chuck Jackson .So it's all borrowing ,lifting and sample from Warren g - McDonald to the original chorus by chuck Jackson
Not only is he one of the greatest vocalists of all time, he was sexy as hell with it
Yes to both. Gorgeous and a beautiful voice
Michael McDonald is one of the kings of blue-eyed soul.
Definitely. He’s the King of Blue Eyed Soul!
@@stephenhough4957 Only because he the Oldest. Mike is bad now. But that Average White Band got my vote. That lead singer though! Beast! "School boy Crush". The jam! Beast beat ! Oh then there's Hall and Oates! Oh I don't know!😄
@@elisageorge1798 oldest? That's the righteous brothers
@@umino_kao this, blued eyed soul started with the Righteous Brothers
I love watching you young people realize when a rap song sampled a cut that was a banger back in the day! Much love!
MICHAEL MCDONALD IS A LEGEND.... I'M PROUD I GREW UP IN THIS ERA
🙌🏼
Instablaster.
Yeah man blue eyes soul 💙
I was 14 when this song hit the airwaves. Greatest decade of music in my book.
Amen!
Seeing the realization that a song from 1982 was sampled is crazy. Man, the music from the late 60's to the early 90's is some of the most creative, ORIGINAL and enjoyable ever. People played their instruments and didn't worry about if they had a pretty face, branding or dancers.
The band playing behind brother Michael were crazy good session men. Jeff Porcaro on Drums (Toto), Louis Johnson on Bass (Brothers Johnson), Steve Lukather on Guitar (Toto), Greg Phillinganes on keyboards (Michael Jackson, Toto, etc...), Michael's sister Maureen McDonald provided background vocals.
May the music never be forgotten.
Thanks for that info!
In 1994, Warren G HEAVILY sampled the original 1982 single by Michael (with Michael's permission). That groove was set by drummer Jeff Pocaro and guitarist Steve Lukather , musicians from TOTO and Louis Johndon on bass guitar!
I love to see the reaction of someone just hearing this awesome voice for the first time! Enjoy the beat.
Michael McDonald is just the greatest. Lead vocals in a lot of Doobie Brothers hits. A pile of hits solo and in duets. And he also sang back up on a lot of hits for other artists like Steely Dan and Christopher Cross. It's a deep, deep well you've found yourself in.
And backgrounds for Kenny Loggins. Love him♥️
The foundation of great music.comes from the greats like Mr. McDonald! His voice is timeless....and he's easy on the eye! 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The music of the 70s,80s and 90s, nothing to compare them to
True that bro. 👍🏽
And you know this.
Try What a Fool Believes. Another Michael McDonald jam.
Michael McDonald's masterpiece was released in 1982. This song has arguably the greatest rhythm section of all time. Steve Lukather on guitar Jeff Porcaro on Drums, Louis Johnson on Bass, Greg Phillinganes on clavinet, and McD on Fender Rhodes.
This music is so soulful. You can't get this anymore.
Bruh, many of the hot 90s hip hop songs got samples from guys and bands like this. Herbie Hancock, The Blackbirds, Steely Fan, EWF, the Doobie Brothers, The Bee Gees, Hall and Oats ... the list goes on. I grew up playing and learning this style of music. It was a beast then and it’s a beast now.
Love this! Sample this? They certainly did. Check out his duet with Patti Labelle "On My Own " if you don't know it. Classic duet.
Blue eyed soul, like Hall and Oates and Bobby Caldwell.
I sing this at karaoke a lot, and when the intro comes in, everyone thinks its Regulators...then I start singing something different and they all get confused 😂
I had a homie that would sing "Regulate" with me at karaoke, and between the verses, I would go into the first few bars of this song.
I can imagine!😄
And thus you end up winning while other people were just realizing it was a competition haha!
When he first came out my brother and I went to go by his record and when we realized he is white we said "no we are looking for the black Michael McDonald" and left the store.
Ruth Wiggins 😂😂😂
Haha
😂
I know how you feel. I went to a store looking for the white Darius Rucker once. Boy, was my face red! LOL
Lmao!!!!!! 😂🤣
I LOVED the reaction to recognizing the sampling. This was released back in '78. One of the "GREATS".
Love this song , Michaels voice is the best.
Michael McDonald and Bobby Caldwell are soulful. Boz Scaggs always considered himself a soul singer, as well.
That dude is on so many records.
Jeff Pocaro from Toto on Drums and Louis Johnson (Brothers Johnson) on bass. Both, no longer with us. 😔
Correct
Yoo! No one knows that shit
@@jamesfigula7719 But everyone should. :)
Very sad days when both Jeff Porcaro and Louis Johnson passed away. Jeff played drums on the iconic Brothers Johnson mega-hit "Strawberry Twenty Three"...
Right here , all of them on Soul Train
czcams.com/video/iBdyVvb_gAA/video.html
This song flows in and out of different modulations so seamlessly and each one unique and fresh...just an ill jam w deep words
OMG I have always loved him ❤ I mean seriously his voice just is amazing and so soulful 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🥰
I agree with everything you said about that performance but... Just be careful of "fake it till you make it" youtubers. Just saying.
This is a example of when swag meets classic!
I like the Warren G and Nate Dogg song Regulators too. I'm in between the two timelines because Michael McDonald came out with this when I was in middle school and it was played for years after, then in college Warren G and Nate Dogg came out with "Regulators" and it was super smooth but everyone knew that funkyness came from Michael McDonald.
This is one of my favorite songs. I love Michael McDonald. You must listen to him and Patti LaBelle "On my own"!!🥰
Jeff Porcaro from TOTO on drums. Louis Johnson from The Brothers Johnson on bass. The lady singing in the middle of the song is Michael's sister Maureen.
Don´t forget Steve Lukather (also Toto) on guitar :) Allthough both Jeff and Steve where on almost every record where they needed good players :)
@@mogilnyfirefly
I didn't know Luke was on guitar!
Have you reacted to any Doobie Brothers with Micheal McDonald singing lead? Try “Minute by Minute”, “Taken it to the Streets”, “What a Fool Believes”.
Doobie Brothers were dope and Ambrosia!
.....long Train running....... Sexy eyes.....
Please, please go there. You won't be sorry you did.
Really needs to react to “you belong to me” badass!!!
Don't forget his amazing backup vocals on Steely Dan's "Peg." Then there was his wonderful Motown cover album. He's a great artist.
In the “video” ( videos had not really taken off yet. MTV came out August of 1981 but they still didn’t have actual what I would call videos) anyway, in this “video” Stevie Nicks is the woman fading in and out. I have heard this song and seen the video hundreds of times and only ever looked at her face and caught on who she was very recently. I’ll be 50 this year so we can all learn something new everyday.
Anyway Michael McDonald was part of the Doobie Brothers and this genre of music was called Yacht Rock
Great music. Nothing beats Gen X music 🎶 ❤
Good stuff. He's one of the best soul vocalists ever
Michael McDonald is such a unique talented gem! He’s always had such a soulful voice! My mother used to hear the Doobie brothers practicing in the Santa Cruz mountains before they blew up and they just had that raw talent! You should check out the showbiz kids with Steely Dan the live version! They are both so talented and I think you’ll dig it.
There's another blue eye soul you will enjoy.."Baby come back" by Player. I was in high school when that song came out. And I still jam off of it even today. I would love to see your reaction for that one. 😎🎶😎
This was made in 1982 and Warren G and Nate Dogg sampled this for Regulate!
One of my all time favourites! I remember tracking down this song and finally finding it in a CD store - I still get a warm glow of satisfaction when I think of that moment. This song does it for me on SO many levels...so sexy! 👌🏻
I read some of comments on other videos saying that it was Michael's sister who sings in the background on this song. Michael has had a long and happy marriage with another singer, I believe, since the '80s.❤
The bass is awesome too! Love it! Glad you are bringing new life into these classics!
I feel as if everyone had soul in the 80s.
Which religion?
🙏 I graduated high school in 1990, so my best years were in the 70s & 80s. I think no tech had a lot to do with it to be honest, more time to focus on creating, and a sense of freedom. We were all outside, all the time livin. It was cool to be "underground", now it's the opposite. I love gen Z and millenials too, much love from gen x.
Technology only moves progress forward.
@@HardKore5250 I completely disagree with that statement, but without any context it's not worth a discussion. Aside from that, progress and moving forward are the same thing. Some book reading in place of scrolling might help you out.
@@billscott6819 What would change your mind?
Steely Dan--Black Cow. That beat will shock you too!
Allot of 90s Hip-Hop/Rap beats were made from samples, which is what (IMO) made them so good.
He wrote the song about his ex Amy Holland. She was a music artist too. Jeff Porcaro of Toto on Drums and Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson on bass.
Wow thank you! Couldn’t work out who these geniuses with impeccable groove and timing were. Now it makes sense.
@@naysay02 I was a professional songwriter and those guys played on some of my songs. 🎹🎤🎶
They’re still married I believe. If not- when did they divorce?
The look on brothers and sisters faces when the beat drops is classic
It gives me so much joy when folks realize that this song was sampled in Regulators.
Now, just imagine....when first hearing Regulators....how shocked you'd be to realize they were sampling a Michael McDonald song.
Yup. That's what I experienced. 😎
Me too old is where it's at
i know i was clueless in the 80’s. still am apparently. what is sample and regulators? i know. special k . my hubby tells me all the time. 😂
@@kristinakilby6798 Ummm, well sample is just the art of taking a piece of a song and creating a new track with other components paying homage to the original and refreshing it like Subway. Regulators is Regulate, a 90's song by Warren G which is one of the best examples of the craft. As for Special K, the Treacherous Three were the generation before, and doing reunions by the 90's so it's anyone's guess.
He completely changed the Doobie brothers sound, and yet his influence was such an incredible addition to the music of the time.
Love love love this. My dad brought me up to Michael. Love your reaction, good to see appreciation as down as mine 😄🙌
70s / 80s Top 40 music is the source of a lot of early hip-hop samples. Regulate is one of my favorite songs - most due to this sample being used. MOUNT UP!
U mean James Brown and 70's/80's music.
Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is (Official Video)
You need to do a reaction to Christopher Cross: Sailing, Ride like The Wind in which Michael McDonald is doing background vocals to this song, Arthur, and Think Of Laura. I promise you won't be disappointed! ✌❤
I had a chris cross binge just recently. Lol. Never disappointed.
Bruh everything is a sample, everything. Isley Bros Between the Sheets & Footsteps in the dark. 2 of the most iconic 90s rap songs.
Love him! By the way, the audio quality of your videos is state of the art- keep up the great work!!!
& Michael invited to all the BBQs
Definitely
🤣
It was sampled in the song Kiss is spittin' (Jadakiss) and regulate (Warren G and Nate Dogg)
Warren g - regulators helped me discover this classic 🔥🔥🔥
Me too, and all us 80’s kids too.
I’ve been watching your recent vids & didn’t know you reacted to Michael. He was my fav in the 80’s. I’m glad you like him he sang & wrote for the dooby brothers first. I grove to him all the time and was heart broken that the renegades took from his original & the new generations don’t know how good the original was. Excellent! Love your reaction. 🫶🏻
1st solo hit! 😎

I love this band...1976 l was introduced to the Doobie Brothers ...Michael McDonald...l played the album until it wore out...lm going to their concert in Las Vegas May 2022...The Best...
Michael McDonald was inducted in the Hall of Fame this year!!! Singer, songwriter and sexy voice lol!
Classic. Takes me back to high school.
The late great Jeff Porcaro laying down the drum groove.
The pride of Ferguson Missouri.. Michael Mcdonald..soul man indeed
Michael McDonald, one ice-cool dude with an AWESOME voice.
"Taking it to the Streets" Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers is a killer. Watch the live outdoor concert video, it's by far the best.
Yaaas grew up listening to Michael McDonald with older sisters.
Check out " Minute by Minute". He did that one when he was with the Doobie Brothers.
Check out the song by him and Patti Labelle-On My Own. It's lit!☺
Finally, someone smart enough to look up the year this song was made, and realize Warren G sampled this, not the other way around. My man!
Also sampled on....”when kiss is spittin” Jadakiss and Nate Dogg
Louis Johnson did the bass line for this sweet jam! Look him up! He was apart of the Brothers Johnson!
Brilliant group who had some bangers ... strawberry letters 23 all time classic
I love watching people react to this, when they have that immediate recognition of the hook from Regulate.
Michael McDonald is one of the absolute greatest of all time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bro you need to react to Yah mo be there by James Ingram and Michael McDonald...please 👍
His loving it from start to finish was great to watch.
This song is a classic. So good. R.
I'm a proud 80's kid who heard Michael McDonald as a kid and enjoyed "Regulate" back in the day.
And what makes this one special is the Master of Shuffle....Mr. Jeff Porcaro (ToTo) on Drums!...no one can play this groove like him....listen to "Mushanga" by ToTo....
The word legend is thrown around a lot. This guy was a true legend. Fact.
Check out “On My Own” with Mike and Patti LaBelle. Priceless duo.
Peter Cox of Go West. Beyond phenomenal singing voice.
The smile when the beat drops says it all....
Michael McDonald is one of the greatest singers of all time. The fact that he was super easy on the eyes makes me want to listen even more.
This was my jam back in the day
You have GOT to listen to "What a fool believes" from Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald on lead vocals.. One of my favorites
Dig deeper and you will find soooooo many great songs just like this... they belong to the world my friend 😁
I have the original album in my home office. It is one of the earlier pop-smooth jazz tunes that is timeless and fantastic. The one that preceded this is “What you won’t do for love” by Bobby Caldwell which is one of the finest songs ever made from 1978
Classic, my parents listened to funk and disco during this time and The Doobie brothers were always on the radio when I was a kid. So many good songs from that era, they just reach in and steal your soul for a while lol
And he composes his own stuff and plays killer R&B piano/ keyboard.
Great, great song. He just refuses to accept that she’s gone and not coming back. I, for one, have experienced this! The underlying heartbreak in this song is so palpable.
Awesome absolutely a great discovery
That’s right this is a classic of Michael McDonald, who also sang with the group The Doobie Brothers in the 80’s! Our music was the best, know as Blue Eyed Soul(white groups)!
70s
I LOVE BLUE EYED SOUL
And IM 17
So many artists today sample the music from my Era, the 80s. We all had big hair and great music and alot of fun. If ever a time machine is invented, go visit the 80s. You'll have a good time. Peace brother!
"Own My Own" Patty Labelle and Michael McDonald
I love Michael Mc Donald ❤!🔥
I know you hear that Regulator by Warren G
That was so cute when he realized this song was the original. Loved your reaction, Rich!
I love tge miment you reali,ed where you first heard this in YOUR life, and then realizing youre getting an extra reward
When you realize all your modern rappers have been sampling tunes from the 70s and 80s this entire time.
TIL that was a sample. knowledge rules!
Michael duets with Patti Labelle, Kenny Logins, ...this was Michael's hit 1982.
Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald.
This was made BEFORE all the copycat stuff you've heard. . .Oh, excuse me "sampled" stuff you've heard. . .YES, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is the BEST version!
Love this song.
Lots of rappers sample classic songs. The very first hip hop song was “Rappers Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang way back in 1979. They sampled “Good Times” by Chic.
