Michael McDonald was on last night’s remote edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He played “On My Own,” his 1986 song with Patti LaBelle from her album Winner in You. “To those of you out there who may be alone during this pandemic, we’re thinking about you,” McDonald said. “I dedicate this song to you, but I want you also to remember that, although you may be alone right now, we’re all in this together and there are better times ahead.” Watch the acoustic performance below.
Michael McDonald’s last new album, Wide Open, arrived in September 2017. Read Pitchfork’s “The 200 Best Songs of the 1980s.” Watch Michael McDonald on Pitchfork’s “Over/Under”:
