As the decades rolled by, the hits stalled but McDonald continued to tour and record (dabbling in films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and South Park). One of McDonald\\\'s recent forays was recording Motown standards, which brings us to Michael McDonald: A Tribute to Motown. Filmed as part of WTTW Chicago\\\'s Soundstage series, this 2003 concert featured McDonald\\\'s version of some of Motown\\\'s best loves songs including:

• \\\"I Second That Emotion\\\"
• \\\"I Was Made to Love Her\\\"
• \\\"What\\\'s Going On\\\"
• \\\"I Heard It Through the Grapevine\\\"
• \\\"All in Love Is Fair\\\"
• \\\"Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)\\\"
• \\\"Baby I\\\'m for Real\\\"
• \\\"Tracks of My Tears\\\"
• \\\"Since I Lost My Baby\\\"
• \\\"Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever\\\"
• \\\"You\\\'re All I Need to Get By\\\"
• \\\"Ain\\\'t No Mountain High Enough\\\"
• \\\"Ain\\\'t Nothing Like the Real Thing\\\"
• \\\"Nowhere to Run\\\"

McDonald\\\'s take of each of these classics is vastly different and yet often very familiar; although the songs have been rearranged slightly to bring them up to date, each musical number retains the essence of their original recordings. McDonald\\\'s smooth vocals make a lot of these songs soar. I loved hearing his take on Smokey Robinson\\\'s bittersweet \\\"Tracks of My Tears\\\" and the late Marvin Gaye\\\'s eco-friendly \\\"What\\\'s Going On.\\\" It\\\'s as if McDonald\\\'s voice was uniquely created just for these kinds of songs. Although he tends to falter a bit one some of the numbers—I wasn\\\'t a big fan of \\\"Nowhere to Run\\\" and \\\"I Second that Emotion\\\"—overall this a very enjoyable concert experience and a nice way to revisit songs that always feel like old friends.

On Michael McDonald: Live viewers are treated to his back catalog as well as solo work. McDonald is backed by some talented session musicians including Bernie Chiaravalle on guitar, Yvette Preyer on drums, Pat Coil on keyboards, Lanice Morrison on the bass, Yvonne Gage, Francine Smith, and Vince Denham on saxaphone and flute, and Simbryt Whittington\\\'s background vocals. McDonald even gets help from a string section for a few numbers. The songs included on this concert are:

• \\\"It Keeps You Runnin\\\'
• \\\"Sweet Freedom\\\"
• \\\"I Keep Forgettin\\\"
• \\\"I Heard It Through the Grapevine\\\"
• \\\"Ain\\\'t No Mountain High Enough\\\"
• \\\"Ain\\\'t Nothing Like the Real Thing\\\"
• \\\"Black Water\\\"
• \\\"Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)\\\"
• \\\"Minute by Minute\\\"
• \\\"What a Fool Believes\\\"
• \\\"Takin\\\' It to the Streets\\\"
