ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!
I HAVE ALL MICHAEL MCDONALDS ALBUMS, TAPES AND CDS. THIS ONE IS THE BEST OF ALL. THIS CD CONTAINS THE HEART AND SOUL SONGS OF MICHAELS.IF YOU HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE CD BY MICHAEL MCDONALD THIS WOULD BE THE ONE TO GET!HOPE I DON'T WEAR IT OUT BY PLAYING IT SO MUCH.

Shine Sweet Freedom, shine your light on me!
Thus begins this excellent solo hits compilation for Michael McDonald, whom, for some reason, I always thought was English. As it turns out, he's from St. Louis, Missouri. Anyway, the former Doobie Brother has managed to create and maintain a really great selection of great music tracks that have been radio staples for quite a while. However, as some people might not be aware of, this collection is way back from 1986, which means Michael's late '80's and '90's material are absent. And I do certainly hope that eventually there is a second CD which chronicles those songs, as I know that I've heard them before, whatever they're called. Anyway, the songs I really like from this collection are the title track "Sweet Freedom", "(I'll Be Your) Angel", my absolute favorite "Yah Mo B There" with James Ingram, who is an excellent soulful singer in his own right, I remember another song of his, "I Don't Have The Heart". I also like "I Keep Forgettin'", "On My Own" with Patti LaBelle, a good female soul singer, "No Lookin' Back", and the late '70's Doobie Brothers hit "What A Fool Believes", which Kenny Loggins co-wrote with McDonald. All in all, a great collection. And hey there, "Mistermaxx", I see that you and I still continue to have a greatly similar taste in music, I hope you're doing all right. Keep up the good work, by the way. Like I said, I hope that there will eventually be another CD that includes the rest of McDonald's radio hits. Who knows, maybe later. Bye now!

A Great Collection
A great collection of songs from a great singer. An album were every track isn't a waste...that's a rarity in CDs... but this best of album is truly a great compilation. The secret is simply Michael's voice and great compositions/arrangements. One of my all time favorite singers, this album makes this one of my all time favorite CDs. I hope Michael McDonald makes more CDs and gets better exposure internationally. Personal favorites are Sweet Freedom, On My Own, I Keep Foprgetting, What a Fool Believes... but the best track of them all is I CANT LET GO NOW!!!! Buy this one!
