St. Louis Man Reunites with Doobie Brothers Frontman Michael McDonald After 58 Years
Michael Goessling, a 58-year-old adopted man from St. Louis, recently discovered that his biological father is five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald. The connection was established after a half-brother used a 23andMe DNA test to identify Goessling. Following a phone conversation where McDonald mentioned his touring schedule, Goessling recognized the musician. The two subsequently met in person, marking the first time McDonald has seen his son since the infant was placed for adoption when both parents were 14 years old.
