Steely Dan. Chart topping soloist. Across a half-century of American music, Michael McDonald\u2019s unmistakably smooth baritone voice defined an era of rock and R&amp;B with hit records like \u201cWhat A Fool Believes,\u201d \u201cTakin\u2019 It to the Streets,\u201d \u201cI Keep Forgettin\u2019,\u201d \u201cPeg,\u201d \u201cIt Keeps You Running,\u201d \u201cYou Belong to Me,\u201d and \u201cYah Mo B There.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend, the Emmy Award-nominated actor and comedian Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970\u2019s California, a heady moment of rock opportunity and excess. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him on a wild ride around the world and to the heights of rock stardom\u2014from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of The Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R&amp;B artist.<\/p>\n<p>Interwoven with the unforgettable tales of the music, Michael tells a deeply affecting story of losing and finding himself as a man. He reckons with the unshakeable insecurities that drove him, the drug and alcohol addictions that plagued him, and the highs and lows of popularity. Along the way he relays the lessons he\u2019s learned, and that if he\u2019s learned anything at all it\u2019s that there\u2019s often little correlation between what you get and what you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>Filled with unbelievable stories and a matchless cast of music greats including James Taylor, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, and Quincy Jones, What a Fool Believes is a moving and entertaining memoir that is sure to be a classic.<\/p>\n<p>Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book interesting, great, and enjoyable.
