They're the most diverse-sounding band I can think of. They had many different singers and styles over the years. I grew up thinking several of their songs were by several different bands. Check out Black Water, you'll see what I mean.

Dude. You have just been reborn. Welcome, you will never be the same. My dad gifted me this album in 1979 for my 15th birthday. 95% of my love of music came from sharing it with my dad. There is not a bad Doobie Brothers song. China Grove is a rocker.

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", "Black Water", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "China Grove", "Takin' It To The Streets", "The Doctor", "It Keeps You Runnin'", "Echoes Of Love", "You Belong To Me", "Take Me In Your Arms" etc.

Just wanted to add not only is the man singing but also plays two keyboards throughout the video. What a star...

Michael McDonald..(GOLDEN VOICE)..😎

Michael McDonald had then joined the Doobie brothers, replacing original vocalist Tom Johnston. Check out Tom’s voice on classic Doobie songs like Long Train Runnin’ and China Grove 🔥

"Love can come and love can go"... But the Doobie Brothers are TIMELESS!! Thank you for your enthusiasm.

“Listen to the music” is also a great song, would love to see more of the brothers ❤️

The Doobies have soooo many hits. McDonald joined a little later but has such a great voice. Blue eyed soul refers to a "white" singer having a soulful voice. Highly recommend Black Water, which has a different lead singer, I believe they had at least three different ones. But if you like McDonald's voice, he also has some solo hits and you should also listen to I Keep Forgetten.

Yes to It keeps u running!!!

My dad was a Doobie Brothers fan back in the 70s so, I grew up listening to them. This song and the title track from the Minute By Minute album are some of my favorites from them. Other good songs by them are Long Train Running, Black Water, Listen To The Music, Take Me in Your Arms, and China Grove. These guys can be folksy and bluesy but they can also do Funk and Soul and they can Rock out too. Very versatile and awesome band. Check out more, you won’t regret it.

"Minute By Minute" by The Doobbie Brothers is also Fire 🔥 This genre of music is called "Blue-Eyed Soul" music which began in the early 60's with a group or duet called "The Righteous Brothers. "

1979 was a fabulous year for music. The Clash, Supertramp, Earth Wind and Fire, Tom Petty, ELO, Styx, and Foreigner had hits. Such a great year as I had just turned 16, had a crappy car and crappy job. But some of the best memories ever.

Awesome time

Love Michael McDonald’s unique voice. He was every where in the 70’s and 80’s with this band and on his own and doing back up singing on other artists music. He is also a great song writer. Love the group and this man.

I totally approve of listening to the studio version first. That way, you're hearing the song that everyone loved so much that it became a hit. Like you say, you never know what you're getting with a live version.

My mom was and still is a huge Doobies fan...born in 1970...I was raised by the Doobie brothers and John Denver....and also my parents...

This is the later version of the Doobies which is a great version of them. Early Doobies is very worth checking out for sure. This particular song is like crack cocaine for the ears. Another Doobie banger with McDonald is Taking It to The Streets.

Tom Johnston or Pat Simmons

You would also LOVE the group Steely Dan. Another rabbit hole of great tunes!

There were two eras of The Doobies, and both were hugely successful: first was the Tom Johnston era, with a more Rock/New Orleans funky sound, and then there was the Michael McDonald era, with a more Pop/Soul sound. The Doobie Brothers are one of the biggest groups of the '70s and early '80s, with many great songs. You will love this rabbit hole.

Thanks for your time and reaction. Doobie Brothers have been around for a long time. Styles and lead vocalists have changed as well. Being 70 years old, I have been lucky enough to enjoy them all.😃 Peace and blessings.

Long Train Runnin', Black Water, China Grove, Takin' It To The Streets!! Great band!!

Doobie Bros are awesome. I saw them in concert some 50+ years ago when they were the little known front band for Chicago.

China Grove, Listen To The Music, Black Water, Long Train Runnin' are all Doobie classics

We had the BEST music ever. I feel so fortunate to have grown up when I did. The music was truly amazing.

Doobie Brothers...Blue-eyed Soul music....Love the Doobies. Minute by Minute is a good song too

"Minute By Minute" is my favorite of theirs, with Michael. He did a lot of work with various artists and groups, including Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Patti LaBelle, and more. Everywhere he goes, platinum and gold. Solo- " I Keep Forgetting" (Warren G and Nate Dogg sampled it for "Regulate"). "On My Own" - Michael and Patti. Really, just pick something of his and enjoy the ride.

Pretty cool band. They usually play with 2 drummers and the song "Road Angel" makes great use of that.

You're so happy because this tune we've loved for 43 years beats the hell out of the shit-show muzak you listen to today.

That voice! Once you've really heard Michael McDonald sing, you will know his voice anywhere. And he has done a lot of backing vocals for different artists, as well as singing in some great duets and having a successful solo career. If you want to hear some of his finest solo work, check out "I Keep Forgettin'"--you will not be disappointed. And for a taste of the Doobie Brothers with a different lead singer, try "Black Water."

What makes this song magic is that it's how it makes you feel. There's so much promise and optimism. It really lifts your spirits up.

Yes, go down this rabbit hole! Black Water, Jesus is Just Alright, Takin' It To The Streets will keep you bopping!

I have seen them live several times. I still have my “Doobie Brothers Farewell Tour” T-shirt from 1982. It was too big then but fits me now...😂. Of course, they got back together and toured many more years.. probably still going. Please do more. Their earlier years has the more classic rock sound of the 70’s.

Oh, I'm so glad you're discovering the Doobies and Michael McDonald! I've been a fan since the 70s. Blue eyed soul basically means white folks who are crazy good at the soul licks. This is one of my favorite bands, along with Steely Dan, with whom Michael McDonald also collaborated. Steely Dan (essentially two guys plus whomever they choose to work with) are amazing with or without McDonald.

Long Train Runnin' is a good one. I love seeing a young person enjoy the music I grew up with!

Born in 1970, this is one of my all-time favorite songs. I love it when people from younger generations discover music from before their time. So cool. Glad you enjoyed it.

Doobie Brothers, keep 'em coming. South City Midnight Lady, China Grove, It Keeps You Runnin', Long Train Running...

You picked a heck of a great one to start your Doobies experience with. You also need to check out a Tom Johnson song by them. "China Grove" is about as good as it gets!

Great intro to the Doobies. This is just a nugget. There’s a gold mine to explore.

Long train running, listen to the music, China grove, n black water. 4 OG Doobie songs!!

The other day I started watching a lot of your reactions again. I love when you discover new bands and new sounds! I get to relive my experience back in the day. The joy of discovering something new never gets old.

And now you know why it was #1. This and Listen to the Music are probably my favorite Dobbie songs.

Pretty much anything and everything from their Captain and Me album, really good

I'm 60 years old, have loved The Doobie Brothers from the beginning,both with Tom and then Michael. Outstanding band in both versions.

Yes please! More Doobie's! I loved all of the 70's Era music and the disco years were so fun we were always dancing...but even after all that greatness ❤️ here these guy's come to bless our ears some more. 😎✌️✨️

Love seeing your unfiltered reaction and instantly recognizing what a great song this is! The 70s were an amazing decade of music and this was just one of 100s of great songs from that time.

This makes me cry. I took my dad to see them many years ago. He passed in October and I listen to them often

I only recently have I honestly listened to the Doobie Brothers, and I am 54. I've been a metal fan since the 80's and was pretty closed minded until I hit my mid 40's when I started venturing into classic rock of the 60's and 70's. The best part is it is all old music but really new to my world and I am now knee deep in The Doobie Brothers, The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Styx, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Joe Walsh and probably the one band I have to listen to every day, Creedence Clearwater Revival. Man there was some great classic rock music in the 70's.

What a fool Believes became not only a huge hit single but an influential one. You can hear its rhythmic synth in songs like He's So Shy by The Pointer Sisters or Steal Away by Robbie Dupree

Here for the music and SalvoG’s expressions 🏆

I was so lucky to have seen the Doobie Bros. twice in Macon, GA, in 1975 and 1979. Tom Johnston sang lead in the earlier years and McDonald sang on this album and also some solos. This band is so versatile, incorporating blues, jazz, country, folk & funk. Blue-eyed soul refers to a white singer with a soulful voice, like Gregg Allman (you should REALLY check out his Live in Macon, GA work, especially "Just Before the Bullets Fly," ... Daryl Hall is another blue-eyed soul singer. I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!

The Doobie Brothers music & Michael McDonald get you hooked from the start. The term "Blue Eyed Soul" was what a radio DJ in Phillie dubbed for the amazing duo the RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS. He was giving his audience a subtle clue these soulful singers both have blue eyes and are white not black. The term caught on for all soulful white voices.

Minute by Minute, Taken it to the Streets, It Keeps You Running. Great songs! I saw them in 1980, so good!

This band produced so many gems!

This song came out when I was 10 and I'm still obsessed at 54. Your reaction just made my day! ❤

The Doobie Brothers are almost two different bands, depending on whether Michael McDonald or Tom Johnson are on lead vocals. McDonald joined the band in the late 70’s.

That's a great rabbit hole to get into the Doobie Brothers have a lot of wonderful songs. They have black water they have, listen to the music, and one of my all-time favorites give me the beat boys. 🥰👍

My favorite song from the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald is "Takin' it to the Street"

Welcome to my 70s of music Salvog!! Best era ever 1970s. And Michael was front and center. His unique voice. He is still making music. Check out his vast solo career also . Keep going !!

this song makes me feel so many emotions at the same time, it could easily make me cry

Love the realisation of this era of music, the best time to be alive

Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle...On My On....fantastic video Michael McDonald.. What a Fool Believes Love Michael McDonald ❤️ Michael McDonald I keep Forgetting...my favorite song by Michael

To me, this is one of the best songs ever that I never tire of hearing that stands the test of time...also a song that will put a lift in your day...great, great song.

The Doobies are legendary - their catalog spans decades of superb music. Now that you are traveling down the rabbit hole, try "Long Train Running". The absolute funk/blues/rock vibe is on full display by these fabulously talented men. "Long Train Running" features vocals/rhythm guitar/harmonica by original member Tom Johnston, who termed his guitar style as "chucka chucka", Patrick Simmons (guitar/vocals) and unbelievable bass by Tiran Porter. The Doobies also used 2 drummers! "Long Train Running" off of the album "The Captain and Me" is sonically superior. Enjoy the ride!

I love your expression when you first heard his voice! Exactly the feeling you should have when you hear Michael McDonald!! It's the feeling I still get nearly 50 years later. ❤

Great reaction. You may also enjoy China Grove, Long Train Running, Black Water and Taking it to the Streets. All classics.

You are in for a real journey. One of the best voices in the world.

Dude... that was when music was music. I'm so glad that I grew up jamming to the REAL! A

The Doobie Brothers are an amazing band!! They have an amazing amount of songs! They are in my top ten list of favourite bands and probably top five 👌👌👏👏

Back in the day there *were no videos* (gasp!). We heard what was played on the radio and then went to the record store to buy a single or an album, go home and put that vinyl on the stereo and crank up the volume. :) I guess that's part of the reason I enjoy these uploads so much.

Check out " China Grove" you will love it.

Arguably the greatest soft rock song ever written. x

YES MORE PLEEEZ!!! 💟💟💟💟 China Grove Long Train Running Black Water Jesus Is Just Alright Takin' It To The Streets It Keeps You Running Take Me In Your Arms Listen To The Music Minute By Minute Micheal McDonald also has a solo career......listen to I Keep Forgettin'....you'll recognize it!

The Nominee for Best Stank Face on encountering Michael McDonald goes to SalvoG. There's competition but u win Blue-eyed Soul is a White Man singing like a Black Man. Van Morrison, Steve Winwood to name a couple,are in that category.

My favorite group , with both lead singers , Tom Johnson and then with Michael McDonald. If you want a song to get your Grove on , try BLACK WATER by them . My favorite album is by the Doobie Brothers the Captain and me. Fantastic album as they all are !

Michael McDonald also sang lead on Minute By Minute and Real Love.

That look of yours as you're listening to it. I'm still spellbound by it even though I've heard it a thousand times!

This was such a monster hit. And so ... Unique. The flavor is ... Man, just so great.

This one of my all time favorite songs, I dare anybody to listen to it without bopping around.

Listen To The Music and Long Train Running are a must !

China Grove

The awesome music from my era! So glad you liked it😊❤

Man, you're just scratching the surface of the great 70's supergroups, with Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Journey, Bob Seger, The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, The Eagles, The Little River Band, the Bee Gees, Foreigner, ELO, Bad Company...the list goes on and on.

Doobie Brothers is a LOOOONG wonderful rabbit hole to crawl down!

Great song! Great reaction too! Interesting that the voices were high. The Bee Gees domiated the charts during that time with Barry Gibb's high voice. I find that interesting both are using high voices in 1979. Lol. Blue-eyed soul means white soul music vs black soul music. See Wiki definition below: "November 2022) Blue-eyed soul (also called white soul) is rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music performed by white artists. The term was coined in the mid-1960s, to describe white artists whose sound was similar to that of the predominantly-black Motown and Stax record labels."

When I watch your reactions across so many of your videos, I get so much satisfaction watching you enjoy the music.

Takin It to the Streets is my favorite Michael McDonald/Doobies song. Mike also sang with Steely Dan.

Way! The 70s was a great decade for rock! The 80s was the synthesizer heavy decade. Big hair and pop synth. I mostly hated 80s music when I was living through it (and I was a keyboard player!) I'm coming around to some of it now that I've had enough time and distance to remember the good songs and good bands. Ok, a few great Doobies hits: “Black Water” “China Grove” “Takin' It to the Streets” “Jesus is Just Alright with Me” (and I'm an atheist!) Black Water has to be your next one! You'll be stunned!

Absolutely love your reaction. I believe everyone else out there who grew up with this feels the same. Thank you!! :)
