In the spring of 1987, the band performed the title track for the Mel Gibson film Lethal Weapon , which was composed by Michael Kamen . In the winter of 1987, the band started work on their third album in L.A. Unfortunately, Johnnie Dee was hit by a car at LAX airport , breaking his leg in several places and required surgery to insert a ten-inch pin to help the leg heal properly. While Dee was recovering in the hospital, one-time Doobie Brothers member Michael McDonald was brought in to help out with the recording sessions; he wrote lyrics and sang back up on “Long Way Back,” a forthcoming track for their next album.
