Released in 1982, it followed his years with the Doobie Brothers and confirmed he could turn that husky baritone and keyboard-driven style into a compelling solo identity. The album features his signature hit I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near), a smooth, durable radio staple that helped define adult-oriented rock in the early 1980s. With its polished songwriting and crisp musical detail, the record became one of McDonald's most recognisable statements away from his band work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Michael McDonald\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/warner-bros-records-record-label\"\u003eWarner Bros.
