that song & their voices just gives me goosebumps...i recall a discussion where member michael &/or james said that the 'yah mo be there' just came out during the writing or maybe recording process...they liked it & left it in even though it wasn't a real word...they felt it referred to god, the creator, spirit, etc...(i remembered this when i had a similar experience with a made up word when i wrote wolfsong)...
>>It was written by James Ingram, recorded by BOTH of them, and the recording appeared on BOTH of their albums. On Michael McDonald's album it reads "with James Ingram" and on James' album it says "featuring Michael McDonald." BTW it won the Grammy in 1984 for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal. Jerry<<
