Not Michael Macdonald. But he played in a band, that palyed with some in a band Macdonald played in.

But then he also played with someone in a band, that played with someone in a band, that played with someone in Van Halen.

Maybe I should give easier hints?


"He has the same last name as Phil Hartman"

The guy really was diverse.

Some of you may have heard this song once or twice

YouTube - EDGAR WINTER GROUP w/ RICK DERRINGER - FREE RIDE



Or this one

"Playing with a gun"

(I said he was dead, not by the gun though)

YouTube - EDGAR WINTER BAND & RICK DERRINGER , 1973

This song was what I meant by thinking he was black, since MTV played the vid to death, with the black guy singing.


YouTube - DAN HARTMAN - I CAN DREAM ABOUT YOU

Kind of odd they didn't figure out he was gay til after he was dead


YouTube - Dan Hartman - Instant Replay

A quick google will link him from everyone from 38 special, to James Brown.
