Recorded in Los Angeles, it marked his shift from band member to frontman, with West Coast session players helping shape its sleek sound. Interestingly, McDonald’s distinctive voice was already a studio favorite—he had sung background for Steely Dan and Christopher Cross before launching his solo career. For collectors, this LP shows him stepping into stardom while shaping the polished adult contemporary sound of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40362553409723,"sku":"","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/products\/R-3506706-1588721964-7825_jpeg.jpg?v=1621894723","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/michael-mcdonald-if-thats-what-it-takes","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
