    My two most favorite bands since the 70’s I’m 73 now and still listen to their music everyday.

    East Coast Steely Dan + West Coast Doobie Brothers = Michael McDonald. I Love the 1970s / 80s. Feel the Music.

    I was playing "Listen To The Music" and "Long Train Running" when they were on the charts, or soon after.
    Rolling Stone published a lot of stories on the Doobies, and that only strengthened my feel for the band.
    It was a big surprise when I heard Michael McDonald joined them, me going back to Pretzel Logic,
    figuring most of that out one summer when I was only playing at night. "Minute By Minute" is my fave here.

    In my wildest dreams I never thought I would see the Doobs in person They came to St. Catharines Ontario Canada on October 19th 2023 on my 84 birthday. And what a birthday present that was. The place was just rocking. On yer feet most of the evening. Thanks ever so much. And remember at 50 yer just getting started

    The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan are included in the soundtrack of my life. And to this day...whenever I'm feeling down...I listen to their music.

    ❤️🎼🎤🎹A ‘one-of-a-kind’ voice from Mr. McDonald. I saw them in Honolulu a few weeks ago in their 50 year anniversary tour and their catalog still holds up with the combination of the Tom Doobies and Michael Doobies. Hawaii still loves the band after all these years❤️🌴🐳🤙🏼

    Michael brought soul to the Doobies riff. The best of the Doobies would be all of them together. If we could bring back those who have gone before us.

    • @SoundbiteBio
      @SoundbiteBio  Před 6 měsíci

      Mr Bearce, I must respectfully disagree. MM did bring his type of soul to the Doobies, but they were funky before he arrived. Here is a link to my Doobies Brother - Blackwater video. Thanks for watching the channel.

      Seems like he's a great guy too. I know a guy that owns a moving company in Nashville. He was moving Michael and complimented him on a piano in his house. Michael said, “ it's yours if you want it, and gave him the piano. Can you imagine having one of Michael McDonald pianos!!

    Very good singer, but I don't like the direction that the Doobies went in with him. Too much repetition of phrases.

      Bee Kay, That's a very fair observation, but that voice was just so unique and soulful.

    I’ve been a Mike McD fan for 40+ years now, and he seems nice, but he never says anything interesting, it’s all cliches. Same here. “More than a dream come true.” “Jeff pulled me into the Doobies camp.” “Fast friends.” No information.
