Michael McDonald comes to Taj Mahal in July

As a keyboard player, guitarist and vocalist, McDonald started out in local combos throughout St. Louis, singing Motown tunes in clubs. After moving to California in 1972, he worked with Steely Dan for years before joining the Doobie Brothers in 1976. His voice and songwriting style helped transform the Doobie Brothers into a soulful rock group with hit songs like "What A Fool Believes," "Real Love," "You Belong To Me," "It Keeps You Runnin'," and "Little Darling (I Need You)," among countless others.

McDonald quickly became one of most distinctive and popular singer-songwriters to emerge from the 70's rock scene and began his successful multi-platinum solo career after the Doobie Brothers disbanded in 1982. He has since released eight albums with singles that have reached Top 10 on the Billboard R&B and Pop Charts.

Michael's newest album, Soul Speak, was recently released on the Motown label. This 13-track CD features some of Michael's favorite songs. Three singles from this CD have already charted on Billboard at the same time: "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher" debuting on Adult Contemporary at 21, "Love TKO" 39 on Adult R&B and "Walk On By" at 28 on Hot Contemporary Jazz Songs.

His Grammy winning career has spanned over thirty years and he has written songs with Kenny Loggins ("This Is It") and Carly Simon ("You Belong To Me") as well as written for Patti Austin, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Anita Baker, Paul Carrack, and Stanley Clarke. He has performed duets with Patti, James Ingram and many others. He and Ingram had a Top 10 R&B hit with their duet "Yah Mo B There" in 1983.
