This song was the first track on Side 2 of Helen Reddy's 1979 Capitol album "Reddy". This album had Helen going in a completely different direction musically. The album was geared for a more R&B/Disco oriented audience. This track was a No. 14 pop hit for the Doobie Brothers in 1979. The album of the same name contained the Grammy winning No. 1 pop smash "What a Fool Believes". Helen's version of "Minute by Minute" is truly remarkable! The song was written by the lead singer of the Doobies at that time, Michael McDonald. Michael McDonald subsequently left the Doobies and went solo. He was best known for his solo hits "I Keep Forgetting" and "Sweet Freedom". I hope all you Doobies fans and Michael McDonald fans will appreciate the amazing effort by Helen Reddy on this recording! Enjoy!
