This music takes me back to my parent's house parties in the 70s. Such good vibes like this all night. Big hair, bell bottoms, pull top beers lol
One of my very favourite Doobie Brothers songs! Such a feel good song with their original lead singer!
Love this original and Tom's contribution to this band, rockin it 💥💥💥🤗
Guy's, this was the Doobie's first top 40 song. The group did a tremendous amount of touring over the years, and it took a toll of Tom Johnston's voice and overall health. He had to kinda "drop out" at a certain period, and Michael McDonald stepped in and started singing lead on many songs thereafter
Thanks
The Michael McDonald era of the Doobs produced some awesome tunes:

Love the music you guys are playing!!! Great job 👍
This is a great song. The lyrics, lead singer and background vocals are great. And the guitars are killing it
I don't care for reaction videos very much but you guys are by far the best I've stumbled upon You're a lucky man Mel is a beauty
I listen to the music with you guys everyday . Love and happiness to you each and everyday .
Absolutely one of their best songs ever. 💯
China Grove and Black water are classics from these guys too.
The bass is amazing in this iconic song. It's one of the first songs I remember when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old, heard it blaring on the radios in the neighborhood.
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 "What A Fool Believes", "Listen To The Music", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "Long Train Runnin'", "China Grove", "Black Water", "Takin' It To The Streets", "The Doctor", "It Keeps You Runnin'", "Echoes Of Love", "You Belong To Me", "Take Me In Your Arms" etc.
"Black Water" is another great song from that time period. So many!!!
This is the original singer. He got really sick and Michael McDonald took over. His name is Tom Johnston. He wrote alot of their music.
Love the Doobies, before and after 1975, just always! 💞
You should do BLACK WATER next !! Love me some DOOBIE BROTHERS!!
Black Water, South City Midnight Lady, Another Park Another Sunday next please ❤
A Must Hear Classic,, The Doobie Brothers
"Jesus Is Just Alright"
Yall my kind of peeps!
This is what the Doobie Brothers are supposed to sound like!
Great video, love the energy.
🤗💖✨💃🎧🎶🎵 "Feel good music" 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Tom Johnston was in the Doobie Brothers from 1969-1975 but left because he was extremely ill. He came back in 1988 and he been with them ever since. Pat Simmons also sang many of the songs (Black Water being the most famous) and he’s been there since the beginning.
Michael McDonald joined the already successful Doobie Brothers around 1975. He changed their sound from a Rock sound to more of a jazzy blue-eyed Soul sound and had even more success which peaked with the "Minute By Minute" album in 1978-79. They split up in 1982 when McDonald went solo. The pre-McDonald Doobies reformed in 1989 and had success with an album called "Cycles" and the hit song "Doctor". This song was from 1972. Did you get that? Complicated, I know.
"Long Train Runnin,"next time please.
Did you guys notice that slamming bass.The Doobie Bros.has such a great sound with or without Michael McDonald.Great Band.
Tiran Porter!
The Doobie Brothers ; "South City Midnight Lady"
Only the Doobie Bros can sing about catfish, and make it sound great! The song's name is "Black Water".
They put on a fantastic show. I saw them 3 times in one year. Once in Pullman, WA, next in Memphis TN in summer then Moscow ID later on. Such an experience. College time mid-late 70's.
Yes they did change lead singers. This is the first version of the band. Michael McDonald was the lead in the second version of the band.
If you want listen to a song that will have you feeling mellow, to chill out, listen to them doing Black Water. Great vibes!
This song was released in 1972. (I was 17 lol) Michael McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers in 1975 after founding member and lead singer Tom Johnston left the group.
Doobie Brothers - long train running
The Doobies with both Tom and Michael were incredible. Such a drastic shift in dynamic when the singers changed but great musicians are great musicians, they just made it work!
Shawn & Mel
I recently seen Doobie Brothers back in 2016 with Tom Johnston. They sound like they did in 1975.
Doobie Brothers- South City Midnight Lady
This is one of my favorites from them love me some Doobie Brothers👍💯
Tom Johnston was the primary lead singer early on. Patrick Simmons was the one who sang lead on “Black Water,” Simmons wrote and sang many songs for the Doobie Brothers. When Johnston exited Michael McDonald joined as a singer, songwriter and keyboardist. These were the Top 3.
My much preferred era of the Doobie Bros. Tom Johnston keeps them rockin' ....MM came several years later. Tom Johnston had some health issues. He later returned post Micheal McDonald.
*Michael McDonald was recruited by the rock band the Doobie Brothers in April 1975, initially as a temporary replacement for their lead vocalist Tom Johnston after he had become ill. This is Tom Johnston singing lead and was the main lead singer of the band. This song was released in 1972 .... 3 years before Michael McDonald joined the group*
As an old school Doobies fan, Michael M. was my 3rd fave lead vocalist for the them.
React to "Black Water", "What A Fool Believes", "Minute by Minute". Great songs
Only band to have two drummers AT THE SAME TIME! When they started cooking, it sounded like a locomotive coming through.
*I commented in your previous Doobie Brothers vdeo that they have several lead singers. I put each song noting each lead singer to each song for you. I am posting it again for you here.*
Black Water 1974 (song writer and lead singer is Pat Simmons); China Grove 1973 (written and sang by Tom Johnston); It Keeps You Runnin' 1976 (written and sang by Michael McDonald); Jesus is Just Alright 1972 Listen to the Music 1972 (lead singer Tom Johnston), Long Train Running 1973 (written and sang by Tom Johnston); Take me in Your Arms 1975 (lead Tom Johnston); Takin' it to the Streets (lead Michael McDonald); Real Love 1980 (lead Michael McDonald). There is many more songs but I listed the most popular and well known songs.
This was from The Doobie Brothers first started way before Michael McDonald, a great classic song
Yay! ❤❤❤
"Jesus is Alright With Me" is my fave by the Doobie Brothers. You know how they got their name, right?
Long Train Runnin (Without Love) Doobie Bros.
Give Me The Beat Boys is my favorite Doobie Brothers song
Michael McDonald both joined & left The Doobie Brothers. The guy singing here is Tom Johnston, he left the band for a spell after bouts with ulcers, that is when Michael came aboard.
This is the song that brought the band to the forefront & started them on their journey to greatness.
Pat Simmons with the long hair sings that middle part. He also sings lead on some of their songs.
"It Keeps You Running" was not Tom Johnston but all of the other songs previously mentioned were.
There were at least 2 lead singers with the Doobie Brothers before Michael McDonald came along. The one singing this and the one with the long hair and white outfit were lead singers. The one in white sang Black Water and a few others.
This is before Michael MacDonald. They have 3 lead singer Michael, Tom Mother on on his song and Pat Simmons on songs like Black Water
Originally Tom Johnston was the lead singer. ( Listen to the Music, Long Train running). Patrick Simmons always had a couple ( Black Water ). And then for a while it was Michael McDonald ( Takin; it to the streets , It keeps you running). Then Tom Johnston came back.
In the OG version (the best version IMO) of the band, Tom Johnston did most of the lead singing, although guitarist Pat Simmons also sang lead on some songs (like Black Water, their best song IMO). Johnston became ill and was replaced with Michael McDonald, who introduced a different style to the band. Johnston eventually recovered and rejoined the band, with McDonald remaining, as well.
McDonald left when Pat Simmons left and Tom was already gone. McDonald was not there at anytime Tom was there.
Pat Simmons you berate stating guitarist as he wrote or co-wrote much of the Doobie music. I think Pat left because of McDonald, just didn't say so.
While I like Michael McDonald I did not like what he did as a Doobie, it just was not the Doobie sound. It was McDonalds music not Pat, Tom, or Johns.
@@2olvets443 I just caught their 50th anniversary tour and they have all been playing together on it. It was a fantastic show. Pat was THE mainstay of the band all through the years. Michael is a very humble person and has always honored Tom. You see it in the shows together.
@@TheDivayenta Don't get me wrong I really like McDonald, just not as a Doobie. I think his voice is like no other and his writing talent just pure amazing.
The entire style was changed while he was a Doobie and yes there was good music from that, it was not the Doobies style and just not the Doobies period. It was more Michael McDonald with Pat Simmons of the Doobies.
@@2olvets443 Yes, it was complicated, so I tried to simplify it for Shawn and Mel.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is my band from the early 70ds
BLUE looks great on y'all! Check your PO BOX this week!
Tom Johnston was the original lead singer/guitarist. When he developed an illness, Michael McDonald joined the band as lead singer and keyboardist.
Southern Pacific was a successful Doobie Brothers spin-off group.
Michael McDonald, was a founding member The Dobbie Brothers. But, he left the group. Michael plays live with the group "sometimes" last 8 to 10 years.
Listen to the music singer is also a founding member. Still with the group. When are you going to read to China Grove?? Great Dobbie Brothers song.
Michael McDonald wasn't an original member of The Doobie Brothers. He was a few years later. This was the Doobies first hit song, and put them on the music charts back in 1972.
This is the original band that I saw in 1972. Michael McDonald joined the Doobies in 1975 and with the band until 1982.
🔥🔥🔥
“Minute by minute”
This should be your theme song! 🎶🎸
Listen YOU GUYS TAKE THE CAKE MY WIFE AND I ARE RET VETERANS WE LOVE YOU'RE SHOW LISTEN TO THE MUSIC 😉💎🙏🤣😂🌟
🤘🎸✌👍❤
Pat Simmons and Tommy Johnston ARE the Doobies for us lifer fans…
🤘🏻😎
I don't usually request/suggest newer songs and I'm sure this is not new, but kind of old. Seal "Rose On the Vine" I believe is the name of the song.
They had a brother playing base next to the lead singer in case you missed that.😁
When Michael joined the band their style changed to more pop/blues with a piano/keyboard influence . His voice was a major style change also.
Now their both in the band together
This is the early Doobies that I first loved. I saw this version in concert at Carnegie Hall around 1973 when "China Grove" was released. A GREAT concert. This is my favorite song of theirs.
This is the initial version of the DB, Michael McDonald didn't join the band until 1975. When he did, their sound definitely changed.
Listen to "Taking it to the Streets" live, next by the doobie brothers with Michael Mcdonald as lead singer.
Tom Johnston was the original lead singer in this video. When he became I'll Michael McDonald joined in 75 and they created songs around his vocals.
Love the vibe of this song. Awesome reaction guys.
This was pre Michael McDonald. To me personally I liked them better during their early years.
Right. The Doobie Bros. were forced to become Michael McDonald's backup band. They lost their uniqueness entirely thru McDonald's usurpation. McDonald is an interloper who successfully ruin the Doobies. And he attempted to force Chicago's sound into his backup band too. Some recording assholes were really on a power trip forcing beloved bands to cater to their prom queen, McDonald's rip-off R&B sound. Nothing McDonald did was unique.
Totally agree!
Shawn and Mel, you would like Long Train Runnin', Jesus Is Just Alright and one of my favorites is Blackwater.
Long Train Running is one you'll enjoy!!♥️
This is before Michael McDonald joined them. Tom Johnson left because of illness. He rejoined the band and Michael left but still plays with them occasionally.
It's a trip how different Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald sound, they both brought greatness to the band.
A MUST HEAR CLASSIC From His Solo Career,, Michael McDonald "I Keep Forgettin'"...TRUST ME!!
*Yes...Tom Johnston was the lead singer, he left in 1975, and then Michael McDonald came in. I preferred the Tom Johnston era Doobie Bros. Although McDonald was an amazing singer...it just didn't work for me. Some Johnston era songs to try are; China Grove__Black Water__Long Train Runnin'__Jesus is Just Alright*
@Roh Echt
I second every one of those suggestions. Great list! I love each & every one.💙☮
Saw them live on China Grove and takin it to the streets. I too love McDonald, but I definitely prefer pre Michael Doobies. Seems like the producers wanted to push McDonald's voice over the music. Long train, blackwater, this tune...were music and vox...
It keeps you running is the fabulous Michael McDonald!
Patrick Simmons sang Blackwater, he sang lead on a few of their early songs to. He is the one with the real long hair and played the guitar to.🎤🎶🎵✌
Agree. After Johnston, the Doobies became the Michael McDonald band.
This is the Doobie Brothers in their original form. McDonald came in later.
ONE IS MISSING HE'S BUSY BOOKING THE NEXT GIG FOR THEASE BOY'S FOR THE NEXT SHOW BLESS YOU STAY WELL 🏆🤣🙏 RESPECT
Some Doobie Brothers songs before Michael McDonald. “ China Grove“, “Black Water”, “ Jesus is Just Alright”, “Rockin’ Down the Highway”, “Take Me In Your Arms”, “South City Midnight Lady”, “Long Train Runnin’, and more.
Tom Johnson lead vocalist was in the original line up.Michael McDonald came in later.
I’d love to see your reaction to “It Keeps You Running,”
The sum of all parts in this band is fantastic. No superstar here but together as a group they were superb. I think that's what Mel is hearing with them and you'll hear it a bunch more because these guys were a hit machine in the 70's.
