Well You Don’t Say: 10 White Singers We Once Thought Were Black

Michael McDonald
“I Keep Forgettin.” “What a Fool Believes” (with The Doobie Brothers). Listen to those songs and hear Michael McDonald and you will understand why there were so many people way back when assuming that Michael was a black man. Psych! Michael McDonald wound up being a white man with a wealth of facial hair, a husky but beautiful voice, great songwriting skills, and the ability to record some pretty killer duets (“On My Own” with Patti Labelle, “This is It” with Kenny Loggins, and “Yah Mo Be There” with James Ingram). And you know your voice must be banging when folks let you cover Marvin Gaye’s hits and love it.
