    Fond childhood memory: Neighbor was a famous bass player and about once a year the Doobies would come jam in his backyard which was across a field from our house. Free concert!

    The Doobies are currently on their 50th anniversary tour.
    💫Michael McDonald is incredible w the band and as a solo artist. He took the band through a soul/R&B path. I loved both versions of the band. 💫

    Remember this is from a generation of musicians where there was no auto-tune, no computers. You had to work in the studio until you got it right to the point where if somebody heard it live they couldn't tell the difference from the recording. Musicianship at its finest and we need to start going back to that

    That instrument is a Clavinet, it's a piano-like keyboard that has a froggy kind of sound, and it can be heard on all kinds of rock and R&B records from the late '60s to the early '80s

    Saw Doobies in 1975 Long Beach Arena tickets 8.50 .They had played up and down the Calif. coast for a few years so not many people showed at our concert so the manager came out on stage and told all of us to move into the center rows front to back.. What a fun party gig that was. They were amazing! If you get a chance to see them on their present 50th Anniversary Tour, get there!! Peace. Rory in Indiana

    The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band that have been around for 5 decades. They covered many genres of music over the years. They had so many great songs such as "Listen To The Music", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "China Grove", "Black Water", "Takin' It To The Streets", "The Doctor", "Echoes Of Love", "You Belong To Me", "Take Me In Your Arms" etc.

  • @shannonwittman950
    @shannonwittman950 Před rokem +1

    The interesting thing about this song -- which is another gem from the Doobie Brothers hitmaking in the late 1970's, a new one every four months -- is that Michael is singing lyrics which are about half speed compared to the music bumping-along tempo. It's sort of hypnotic in that the blend works! It draws listeners in and gets their shoulders and hips bumping.

    @joanfisher1079 Před 2 lety

    I believe Carly Simon recorded "It Keeps You Runnin" first and had her own hit with this song and then the Doobie Brothers did their own version with the song and had a hit as well. If you haven't explored Carly Simon yet, you should: "Haven't got Time for the Pain", "You're so Vain", "That's the Way I've always heard it should be", "Anticipation". Of course the Doobies have hits that weren't even radio hits, just great musicians with Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald in various eras of the Doobies.

    The Michael McDonald sound the Doobie Brothers incorporated in 1976 that changed the whole dynamics of the group from a Rock and Roll feel to a Pop sound throughput the rest of the 70s and into the early 80s.

    Michael McDonald has such a unique, soulful voice. He wasn't the original lead singer for the Doobies. He took over after Tom Johnston left the band.

    And Michael wasn't even there when I started loving them.
    Mike is definitely great.
    But my favorite Doobie is skunk Baxter.
    He was also in steely Dan.
    But I loved seeing him in the Doobies.

    They even named one of their albums "Toulouse Street" after a famous Street in the French Quarter.

    A feature song from the movie "FM" that had its own spin off in WKRP in Cincinnati

    This one is on my personal Top Five list of "Soft Rock" songs. That I really enjoy. A fairly successful hit that I honestly don't know the reason why it never did become one of those MEGA-hits.
