Michael Mcdonald是美國非常受歡迎的R&B靈魂歌手及詞曲作者。大多數時候，他也被人們稱為“藍眼睛的靈魂”的歌手，
而且，它具有獨特的深情、沙啞的男中音的嗓音。早期的時候他和一個叫Steely Dan的歌手組成了Doobie Brothers樂隊，
但不久就單飛了。
生於美國費城的Patti LaBelle可說是流行音樂史上最長青的女歌手之一，她的風格與演唱事業從早期的女子偶像團體到氣味
強烈的放客音樂或到抒情慢板的情歌都是她非常拿手的表演範圍。 1944年出生，自青少年就在教堂唱詩班長大的
Patti LaBelle在六零年代開始與朋友Nona Hendryx和Sarah Dash組成了The Blue Belles合唱團，沒多久立刻便以一首
＜I Sold My Heart to the Junkman＞立刻登上排行榜前二十名的席次，從此Patti LaBelle不僅一路受到廣大樂迷的支持，
而且在七零年代更是因多首動人情歌而獲得歌壇「愛神之女」的暱稱。 Patti LaBelle因其充滿靈魂福音意味的即興演唱風格
深受觀眾的喜愛。更是對後來的許多女歌手造成了廣泛的影響，與Aretha Flanklin並列為靈魂殿堂教母。
Celine Dion翻唱其作品If You Ask Me To; Mariah Carey 現場為其致敬演唱If You Only Knew(Somewhere Over the Rainbow);
Christina2001年,為了電影《Moulin Rouge》的原聲碟而和另外三名女歌星Pink, Lil' Kim和Mya一起翻唱了Patti LaBelle的

===================================
Patti Labelle & Michael McDonald - On My Own
===================================
So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
On my own
On my own
On my own
So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself
No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why
I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
So many times
I know I should have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my own
(Chorus Repeat)
This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself by myself
I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my own
