I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)

About I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)

This song, though an excellent piece by itself, is most famous for being sampled in Warren G and Nate Dogg’s “Regulate”. This song, possibly Michael McDonald’s most famous as a solo artist, is about the thoughts and pain that run through his mind, as he tries to come to terms with the fact that a person he loved has decided to break it off for good; this, is proving difficult for him. This song is really unique, in the sense that it has a soul/jazz sound, and funk sound at the same time (which works together harmoniously). .
