Skip McDonald (born Bernard Alexander, 1949, Dayton, Ohio) is an American musician who also performs under the stage name Little Axe.
Grounded in blues music learned from his father, McDonald spent his early days playing jazz, doo-wop, and gospel, and eventually relocated to New York City as a teenager with his band of friends, called The Entertainers.
McDonald formed the group Wood Brass & Steel in 1973 with bass guitarist Doug Wimbish and drummer Harold Sargent. The group recorded two albums before their 1979 breakup. He then became part of the house band for Sugarhill Records and appeared as a session player on many early rap albums, including "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five.
After leaving Sugarhill, McDonald, Wimbish, and drummer Keith LeBlanc began working with Adrian Sherwood, and eventually formed the trio into the industrial/dub group Tackhead, initially fronted by Gary Clail and later Bernard Fowler. McDonald would also collaborate with Sherwood on other projects, including albums by African Head Charge and Mark Stewart.
"Too Late (True Love)" is a song by The Real Milli Vanilli. It was released in 1991 and peaked at #26 in Austria, #65 in Germany. The song was also released in France, but failed to enter the singles chart. Notable is the fact that John Davis is pictured on the single's cover, although he did not perform in the song.

Every time you come around
You know you will be safe and sound with me
Forget your friends for just one night
You know I wont put up a fight with you
Cos I
Can't be sold or bought
Yet you
Always cut me short
Every game you play is blue
Every single thing you seem to do
Every time it's just the same
The only thing I plays the waiting game
So why
Do you stay with me
Inside
I just want you to see
That every little axe you take
And chip away at me is a mistake
Now I think your blade is blunt
I feel another weather front is due
Cos I
Need another girl
And you
Can deal another world
Now I feel it must be said
That decisions put to bed my friend
All it took was just this song
To separate the right from wrongs the end
