Michael McDonald brought his legendary singing voice and songwriting talent to not one but two legendary bands: Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, the latter of which earned him a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Michael sits down with Guy to talk about writing classic songs on envelopes and forgetting about them for years; feeling self-conscious on stage as a frontman; his solo career; what he thinks of the term \u201cyacht rock\u201d; and how getting sober saved his life.

Michael\u2019s memoir is called \u201cWhat a Fool Believes\u201d. You can buy it here.
