Listening to these songs I’ve heard so many times, through the ears of someone new to them, gives me a new appreciation for how great the music really was.
My friend and I decided to steal a car one night and after a while I turned on the stereo and this song started to play. We listened to the whole song while riding back to return it. God works in mysterious ways
That's what made you bring my car back? All this time I figured whoever stole it must have freaked when they saw what was on the floor of the backseat. I always wondered why the authorities never came to see me. I guess we should all thank the Lord. Or at least the Doobies.

@@bigboy21123 There are many, many, scientists who believe the world is more than 6000 years old. . Also, which "God" do you speak of? Last time I checked there were over 3000 of them.
When I was in my teens in the early seventies I just took this music for granted. It was really good it was played on the radio we listen to it at parties and then everybody moved on with life. I love that younger people are rediscovering some of that older music and really appreciating it.
I feel blessed to have lived during this time and appreciated the talents of the musicians and vocalizing. Nice to see such music on your channel! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!❤️🥳
I may not be a Christian, but watching Brother Jamel’s reaction today, reminded me of what I thought all those decades ago when I first heard this great tune-Jesus Is Just Alright By Me too! SuperLove to all my Jamel_AKA_Jamal Brothers & Sisters! Even though we haven’t (yet!) met in person, y’all give me a sense of happiness & hope for the often scary & always unknown future. Just like Jesus, All y’all are alright by me! Stay safe & always true to yourselves! Peace!!
Always loved this song, but I didn't know The Lord until 15 years ago. He's a lot more than "just alright". He's gonna get me off this planet alive. Dud'nt get any better than that! Thanks Jamel.
They open every show with this. At one of their concerts I sat next to an old dude who had never heard it and when they finished he leaned over to me and said, "I think the name of this is Jesus is just alright." I almost fell out of my seat.
We actually sang this in church services on Sundays when I was in Air Force basic training, jun/July, 1980. Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.
For sure Boz Skaggs is a must. As long as we are in the groove zone, Jamel you should look up Jamiroquai! The video for Virtual Insanity is amazing. They're a much more recent act from the 90's and 2000's so you may have heard them. Great modern take on old school R&B.
I felt the same way back then! Way before "Contemporary Christian" music was cool. And to this day... NO ONE has written a song that speaks to the Power of Jesus Christ. This song Rocks!!!
Time for some Three Dog Night - Eli's Coming, Liar, Brickyard Blues, The Show Must Go On, Shambala, Black & White, One, Sure As I'm Sittin' Here, I'd Be So Happy, On the Way Back Home, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Never Been To Spain, Old Fashioned Love Song, Joy To the World, Celebrate and many more!
@@plymouthhemi426 @Ed B and @Phil Brookes are BOTH right. The verses and main chorus lead vocals are sung by Johnston and the Bridge lead vocals are sung by Simmons. The song itself was written by Arthur Reid Reynolds (Gospel Singer) in 1966, but that killer bridge that Simmons sings was actually written by Tiran Porter, the Doobie's bass player.
Being a believer myself, I love how they weren't ashamed to proclaim their faith in such a public way. Don't know if they were all Christians, but at least three of them were for sure. Saw them on a documentary a few years back, and this song, and subject came up. Very cool song.
In the age of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, this song was cool. Another rather impactful work back then was "Jesus Christ Super Star". Some iconic performances from that play/movie.
The fact that the word "Christian" triggers people is no surprise. It has done so for over 2,000 years. It is also fact that good acts can be done - or not done - by believer and non-believer alike. So the question that arises is, whom does your "good act" exalt? Yourself, or another? In any event, let's encourage doing good.
Some German catholic churches tried some gospel and rock in the 1970's/80s , but I tell you it was not good. At least not the churches I had to go to. It was cringe worthy for me to have to listen to it and watch it. Some German white people trying real hard to have rhythm and soul and the rest of the parish just sat there with unbelief in their eyes. I never liked being in church because I didn't understood the concept, but on these occasions I really wanted to leave.
When I was 18 our youth group sang this in our church. The elders received it very well!! 1975 , the year we sang it, even though it was released in '72.
This hit was definitely pre Michael MacDonald. the song was written as a direct answer to the Jesus People evangelistic youth movement that was sweeping the nation in the 1970s.
No, Jesus is a reference to a baseball player. As in, “Jose is one of the best players ever, but Jesus just came up from the minors and bats .150 - he usually rides the bench. Jose is Hallo of Fame material, but Jesus is just alright.”
This is what you get when you mix gospel, blues and rock all together! The recording has Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston and Tiran Porter all singing the main vocals together, but it is Patrick taking the slow vocal solo, and playing the guitar solo.
Can you imagine this song being a hit on Top 40 radio these days?? lol the era of songs that took you on a journey. the 70's were a great time for smokin' & jammin' and experimentation.
As a side note, the Doobie Brothers were finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame last May 2, 2020 after being first eligible way back in 1996. I just hope it went through despite the pandemic. Congratulations!! This was long overdue!
'73 inside the college gym, standing 4 feet from the stage- they killed it- beautiful, tight harmonies, and best of all, you could tell that they were having so much fun... one of my favorite concerts
One of the best songs they ever recorded!!! I knew you'd love it when they broke it down. I was laughing as that part was coming up and said, "oh I can't wait to see his reaction to this!!!" 🤣👍
I was able to attend the first "Farewell Tour" for the Doobie Brothers in 1983. This was by far the most popular song at the concert! Thanks for the memory!
So much great music to choose from in the 70's ... It's timeless. Yes I did not know just how much great music there was at the time. It was a great time. 60-80's my fav eras for music..
Hey Jamal. Long time listener, first time caller 😂 try some Chicago! Great band with a horn section!! Edit: Start with Make Me Smile. Terry Kath's voice and guitar playing are awesome.
I once got stopped going 55 in a 35 grooving to this song ... when I explained it the cop, I was let off with a warning. Lucky he was a Doobies fan. This song will make you catch the spirit though.
Heard this early gospel song at a Doobie Brothers concert in 1974. This was the very first time that I had ever heard and it continuously rang thru my head for a week. Toulouse Street is one of my favorites and will demonstrate a wonderful twist in the Doobie Brother repertoire.
Love how they break it down in the middle. Never heard it sung in church, but a little 10 y.o. Boy I knew, who passed from leukemia back in the early 80’s, had his mom play this song at his funeral. It had us all smiling! (You are correct, Michael McDonald was not on this track.) Gotta try “Georgy Porgy” by ToTo.
THAT PICTURE IS AFTER TOM JOHNSON CAME BACK AND THEY TOURED DOING HIS VOCALS AND MICHAELS AND PAT SIMMONS....WHICH PAT IS THE LEAD SINGER......BUT THIS RECORDING WAS BEFORE MICHAEL !!!!
I saw The Doobie Brothers at Alpine Valley in 1980. I was 16 years old. We were in the parking lot partying before the show, when one of them came up and asked if he could hit our joint. So we partied with him for about a half hour and didn’t know he was in the band, until later when we saw him on stage. Good times.
Tom Johnston is singing the lead, Patrick Simmons on the breakdown, I have seen Cornelius Bumpus do that part live. Doobies are awesome. There aren't too many of the original guys left. I've had the pleasure of meeting them about 28 years ago.
this truly is my lifes blood, since I graduated high school in Utah in 1973, they were then, always have been, and still are fabric of my life...and there is so much more of them, songs you only hear if you hear entire albums, some of their best tunes never made radio...But, THIS ONE, Always and forever . take us ALL to church!
Before Michael. I saw them live where they went from the second act to headliners. Their Wnterland show was stunningly electric. Steve Miller (the headliner) called the 2 guitarists from the Doobies for a final , end of the show, jam. Outstanding! After that show, they were always headlining.
Listening to these songs I’ve heard so many times, through the ears of someone new to them, gives me a new appreciation for how great the music really was.
Good thanks.
Living vicariously through these reactors discovering this music all over again... So cool!!!
@@MaddogJones absolutely!

Love it 😂
Good for you I guess wtf haha
Blessings to the divinely guided
This song is an honorable tribute to Jesus.
Truth
Yes! Jesus is just alright with me. We need him more than ever in our country of division.
Jesus is just alright, and we need him now more than ever! Stay safe all.

Amen Brother!
Give props to the Doobie Brothers..
Amen!
More than alright!!!!
Oh YEAH . Play this really loud out side of Richard Dawkins house.
This was the classic lineup with the impeccable Tom Johnston. Brilliant singer, songwriter and guitarist.
I agree totally! I was a huge fan until Tom left the band, but became a fan again when he returned!
Though this song was mostly Patrick Simmons.
Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons and Tiran Porter sound like heaven together, so this is an appropriate song from them.
Yes! This is the real Doobies. I still liked the music with Michael McDonald, but it just wasn't the same vibe.
I love Tom but Micheal really brought new sound when he left. Glad to see Tom and Michael together nowadays!
"Jesus, is my friend" "He took me by the hand, led me far from this land, Jesus, is my friend" Amen!!!

Jesus is more than just alright, He is everything!
The Name above all names.

@@paramjitsingh-iv1ef, nope, played it at two services that Sunday.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Love this! ♥️🎼🎶🎵
I've never met you, Jamel but "you know what man? You're alright!"

No no, man. He's just alright! : )
It’s a joy to see a young man appreciate our music. Thank you Jamal
In 1974 I was 20 and in college. Music back then was awesome. Good times.
I feel blessed to have lived during this time and appreciated the talents of the musicians and vocalizing. Nice to see such music on your channel! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!❤️🥳
When it slows down around 3:01 it begins to sound like 70s Pink Floyd
♥️🔥🙏
It really does, just for a few seconds.
I'd never thought about that, but it definitely does!
Remember the good old days when music brought us all together, now everybody wants to keep us divided for power and money.
I couldn't agree more. I don't think we're as divided as is reported
'"Spirit in the sky" by Norman Greenbaum might be of interest to you.
Great song.
Great song!!
Yes!
Crazy if you're not!
Great song.

Yes! Jesus is the way,the truth,the life!✝️
Love when Cornelius Bumpus sang the slow part. The man had so much soul. A true brother. Rest his soul
It sounds like Patrick Simmons singing the lead in the slow part. With Tommy Johnston and Tiran Porter joining in as a trio.
Patrick Simmons on this version. With all due respect to Cornelius Bumpus, no one sings that middle part like Pat.
Takin' it to the street is another great song by Doobie Brothers.
I second this. Jamel you will LOVE this track. Hands down! /d
or Listen to the Music by the Doobie Bros
Ponyboy Curtis, unfortunately, it was over-played. I’m sure everyone has heard it by accident now! Great song, though!!
Long Train running 💯
Lol love the name dude! Flooded with memories instantly. Glad you made it out of that fire! And yes, that's another great one!
Can we take a moment to appreciate
JESUS 🤴. He's alright with me 🤓

Sorry but that was Tom Johnston singing lead.
@@edb6690 wrong!

"If they played this in church, I might be there every Sunday". Ya, me too! Never heard this in the Catholic church!
They don't play this in the LDS Church either :)

Tom Johnston is singing the lead, Patrick Simmons on the breakdown, I have seen Cornelius Bumpus do that part live. Doobies are awesome. There aren't too many of the original guys left. I've had the pleasure of meeting them about 28 years ago.
"Jesus is just alright with me!" , meaning "I am right with Jesus!" See you at the Church of the Brothers, Jamal! 👍
No, it means “meh, he’s no big deal.” Which is true.
Great reaction! Please check out South City Midnight Lady...another Doobies classic!
More Doobie Brothers, brother. Please and thank you. I HIGHLY recommend "Taking It To The Streets" and "It Keeps You Running".
Yup, you nailed my top two! And the swelling Minute by Minute keyboard intro is my favorite alarm clock ringtone.
Another park Another Sunday
"I Cheat the Hangman"
this truly is my lifes blood, since I graduated high school in Utah in 1973, they were then, always have been, and still are fabric of my life...and there is so much more of them, songs you only hear if you hear entire albums, some of their best tunes never made radio...But, THIS ONE, Always and forever . take us ALL to church!
I love how each transition in this performance draws a tremor of appreciation from your core.
If you want to hear some excellent “Funk,” check out Talking Heads, “Take Me to the River”
Yasssss take me to the river will knock your socks off. Any David Bryne will do thank you my friend.
The Talking Heads version of "Take Me To The River" was based on the Foghat version, which is also excellent.
Steve Miller Band: Jet Airliner (long version)
I was 14 years old when this song was on the radio.I am now 60 and the song is still fresh as it was back then. Great reaction!
Before Michael. I saw them live where they went from the second act to headliners. Their Wnterland show was stunningly electric. Steve Miller (the headliner) called the 2 guitarists from the Doobies for a final , end of the show, jam. Outstanding! After that show, they were always headlining.
I think I was at that same concert
J, thank you a millions for doing this very special song. Dobbie’s forever!
Doobie Brothers are awesome!!!
Love you Brother
And this song is total fire
Jesus Loves us all
"you alright brutha." EXACTLY!
