Michael C. Ashford

The original.... Before Michael McDonald

More like "subliminal involuntary plagiarism" by Michael Mac. Not intentional, just something that happens as a writer. Writers/authors/musicians are inspired to write by anything around them, at anytime, & anywhere -- A distinctive sound (think of the shoe-shine scene from "Walk The Line"), someone speaking a certain phrase a certain way (Otis Redding's "Respect"), somebody telling a story, overhearing a brief snippet of a guitar or bass riff, maybe even remembering someone singing a line from a relatively obscure song (by Leiber/Stoller standards)....That's prolly what happened in Michael Mac's case. I honestly don't believe he deliberately sat down, listened to this record, & then decided to write his smash hit -- I think he just picked up the melody of that first line somewhere in life, it came to him & he based his song around it. He most likely heard someone sing that first line at some point in his past -- maybe one of the other Doobies was a Chuck Jackson fan.

This song is different than the Michael McDonald song that uses a similar title... This one was written by Leiber and Stoller... eventually Leiber and Stoller received a song writing credit for the McDonald one, but just because they are similar lyrically... They are completely different songs musically...

Leiber - Stoller, 1962.

Joel Revoir

I had a feeling Bowie's track was a cover!

Interesting. don't know the mono version. It's the wide stereo seperation of the percussion that makes this for me.

Barry Margolis

It was arranged by Teacho Wiltshire. The cool stereo mix, though, is missing 50% of the sleigh bells and other percussion, which is clearly heard on the mono mix. This is certainly one of the strangest and least commercial R&B singles ever released....and I love it.

Andrew Dracula

It's Burt Bacharach on a sandbag ashtray!

Rowan Mcwilliams

love the percussion!
