Michael McDonald - It Keeps You Runnin' Lyrics

Fabulous. Awhile back I took a poll of musician friends and asked if they could sing like anyone, who would it be? Most of the guys said Michael McDonald. Dude still has it and I loved every minute of this despite the revisions to a familiar song. But my question is - who is that bass player?? My god, that guy is terrific!

Amazing

Its obviously a different take, maybe not for everyone. But lets just rejoice in the fact that we still have this clearly great voice around! 66 and still as soulful as ever!

Don’t make music like this no more no no no

It's Sad when people are so quick to criticize such a Great Artist who is 66 years young here. He was only 24 when he recorded this song with the Doobie Brothers. He actually sounds pretty good all things considered and can still hit the high notes. I'll bet if he was playing with the Doobies it would NO DOUBT sound better. Would love to see those criticizing do better. Thank you Micheal McDonald with blessing us with your God given talent and longevity. You still sound AWESOME and keep performing as long as the good Lord allows you to. Peace

Totally!

Damn he's lost it. Sounds terrible. Nice hair cut though.

Really???? Could you sing at his age those high notes? NO WAY.

Who's the hot white chick singing backup?

I think that's his wife

M from James Bond- Judy Dench

Still got it. Same vocal range.

Still got it. Same vocal range.

Too Jazzy for me but he's awesome. Saw him in CA at a casino, great show.

Agreed. I still prefer the original style, but at least they kept that vintage drum machine in there!

While Michael is still clearly talented, I'm sorry to say this performance is utterly unrecognisable from it's original

He's changed it too much.

This guy still singing strong , a gifted voice , the other one its glenn hughes almost 70 years and still deliver !

Anyone who gives this song a thumbs down doesn't know music.....

I never knew Phil Donahue was so talented

Yogi Beer lmao

I absolutely hate artists that don’t sing the song the way they recorded it. You look and sound ridiculous.

Opinions are interesting aren't they

@Jacob Blackburn yep opinions are like a*seholes...everyone's got one.

@Martin Turner Too bad many of them are like this dudes

Stuck in a time warp are you? You obviously have no appreciation of music and how it evolves..….I hate to say it but it is you that is looking ridiculous.

I don’t dig this at all. I think artist just get board of performing their music the way it was recorded.
Man he has an awesome voice though

One of the greatest vocalists ever! ❤️❤️❤️🏆🙏🏾🎤

This voice is fabulous - has matured just like a good bottle of red!!!

Where you gonna go, 
Where are you gonna hide? 
You go on leaving out your heart 
And all it's saying deep inside. 

I can feel your heart beat 
You got me all wrong. 
You don't have to worry 
You just been lonely too long 
I know what it means to hide your heart 
From a long time ago - 

[Chorus] 
It keeps you running 
It keeps you running etc. 

I know how you feel 
You know I been there 
But what you've been keeping to yourself 
Well you know it just ain't fair 

Are you gonna worry 
For the rest of your life 
Why are you in such a hurry 
To be lonely one more night? 
I know what it means to hide your heart 
From a long time ago -
