The Doobie Brothers!
And how dare you make me have to go against Auntie Ree Ree, on something!!! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

I like Aretha's version too. | |

I like it, too. It's Aretha, what's to not like?
But seriously, Michael McDonald's voice MAKES that song. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Ok, first of all, "What a Fool Believes" is like "Head over Heels" by Tears for Fears. A perfect song. Aretha does a good version, but Michael was meant for that song. It is the perfect case of song and vocalist matching 100%. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

100% agree. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Doobies! --Funny thing is, it was originally co-written by Kenny Loggins, and its on his album "Nightwatch". Less than a year later, Michael and the Doobies took it, and turned it inside out! I ain't even gonna post the original, 'cause it's not even close to the Doobie version,
BUT, I Love this version with both Kenny and Michael:

...noticed that the saxophone player looks remarkably like a younger Michael McDonald. Anyone out there know who that is and whether or not he's related to MMcD?

Love Kenny's Version. Thanx for this Gem "America is a continent..." |

Michael McDonald does not get the credit he deserves-seriously underrated. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

In some respects it is like comparing apples to oranges, even though they both are good fruits. "What A Fool Believes" is that great fusion of rock/pop/soul that Michael McDonald sang so well in his uinque 'blue-eyed soul' voice, Aretha Franklin does the 'Arethaized' version with incredible background vocals from Hamish Stuart of the Average White Band and herself. The accompanying musicians were mostly made of Toto with sax by David Sanborn and ultra-funky bass guitar by Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson. Both versions are special in their own right.
