"On my own" - Patti LaBelle and Michael MacDonald
Written by pop royalty Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, recorded an ocean apart, expertly blended.
Love that both vocalists get to showcase their talents without ever competing with each other. Please take notes, "The Voice"!

"On my own" - Patti LaBelle and Michael MacDonald
Absolutely killer song, written by Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, recorded by two of the greatest soul vocalists of the era,

The song was recorded in two separate takes, expertly blended - the first use of this technique on a big hit.
