I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)
- I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)
"I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" (also known as "I Keep Forgettin'") is a 1982 popular song written by Michael McDonald and Ed Sanford. Its similarity to the earlier song "I Keep Forgettin'", by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, resulted in Leiber and Stoller also being given a songwriting credit.
Michael McDonald recorded it as a duet with his sister Maureen for "If That's What It Takes", his first solo album away from The Doobie Brothers, and it reached number four on the Billboard Pop Singles charts. Greg Phillinganes, Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro of the band Toto played the clavinet, guitar and drums respectively.
McDonald's song was heavily sampled by Warren G on his hit 1994 single "Regulate", featuring Nate Dogg, and by Jadakiss on "Kiss Is Spittin'", which also features Nate Dogg. 'Regulate' also samples the title cut from Bob James' 1981 album "Sign of The Times".
The bassline is also sampled in the track "Bistro" by critically-acclaimed MF Doom/Madlib collaboration Madvillain.
The chorus is covered by Moloko in an acoustic mix to their hit single from 2003, "Familiar Feeling".
There is also a version by Patti LaBelle and recently McDonald sang it as a duet with
Julia Fordham.
