When the Doobie Brothers reunited with McDonald for a co-headlining tour with the Steve Miller Band in 1995, Chiaravalle filled in on guitar for the absent John McFee.
"One More Word", another song written with McDonald, was a regional hit on KTWV in Los Angeles in the early 90s.
He also produced an album of 12 songs for singer Amy Holland (McDonald's wife) called "The Journey To Miracle River".
Chiaravalle co-wrote much of the album along with her and other writers including Jon Vezner, John Goodwin, Frichtel and McDonald.
The song "Miracle River" was later recorded by singer Judy Collins as a duet with Michael McDonald.
