Doobies are a staple on classic rock radio to this day. "Jesus is Just Alright" and "China Grove" And of course their appearance on 70s sitcom "What's Happening". Season 2 episodes 16 and 17.
@@recipioct Yeah, I think old chubby Rerun was taping the show, but all that came out was him crunching on potato chips. Cheesy stuff, but friggin' GREAT!
When this song hit number 1 on the charts they still played at my high school. that was located on their usual music path. Pat Simmons and I happened to have breakfast at the same little restaurant in Soquel, California, everyone let him be and after time he was just another regular. He rode a Harley and would pull-up out front shaking the glass. A good man he is.... And BTW.. they are still working on world peace through music.
The first song featuring Michael McDonald as lead singer with the Doobie Brothers was called Takin' It To The Streets in 1976. It is a very good tune and really shows off Michael's superb vocal abilities.
This song , is from their 2nd album Toulouse Street. This was when Tom Johnston was still in the group. He wrote it and lead Guitar and Vocals. This picture you show, is the Doobies when Tom had left the band for health reasons. So Tom is not in that picture. But he did eventually return.
this reminds me so much of when I was a kid riding the bus to school. shoulder to elbow deep and stuff like this would come on the radio. this, The Spinners, Chicago, all takes me back. I was a scared boy, 5 or 6, and I remember this oh so well.
great band to see in concert, because they didn't use a bunch of studio sound gimmicks when recording records, so when they played live, it sounded just like what you heard on the radio. Love this Band. Was a freshman in High School 1972, and this was their first hit song, with many more to follow. All of their songs lyrics had an upbeat message to the listeners.
I didn't listen to the Doobie Brothers much when I was younger, but have come to appreciate them a lot since listening to reactions. By the way, during COVID, I listen to a lot of reactions...and you are hands down my favorite.
I don't always like their stuff, but this song has such an undeniable groove that you can't help but smile. Edit: You should listen to China Grove by them!
Tom Johnston is the singer on this album. This is from the album "The Captain and Me". The one you are looking at is a later album with Michael McDonald as lead vocalist. Johnston's health problems were responsible for the change.
Did you say your Grandpa used to listen to this? God, I feel so old now!!! India, you had quite a relaxed look of content on your face during this song. I think we found your niche in The Doobie Brothers! You should check out other songs from them. They are quite underrated!
Got to see them in college back in the day pre McDonald...great group and lots of hits from them. Thanks for reacting to their music. They always put me in a good mood, you wanted to get up and dance.
The DB did a great rendition of "Take Me in Your Arms." Others by them are "Black Water", "South City Midnight Lady", "Toulouse Street" (title track from the album of the same name).
Angiepremo I love his collection of Cowboy camp fire songs...fantastic. I am a retired semi operator. I wore out those tapes, loved listening when I was driving. Made me wish I was a horse back Cowboy, rather then a steel horse Cowboy. 🐴
Love the Doobie Brothers! The Isley Brothers do an awesome version of this song too. The early Doobie's record, 'Pursuit on 53rd Street' stomps tarmac too.
Have always loved them. They played friends of mine a game of softball for a local radio station. My friends beat their butts ❤️ it was all for fun and they still speak fondly of the guys
Just one of the greatest decades for music. Maybe more like the greatest century. I miss the 1900's. The only thing that stays the same is everything changes.
@randsterama Do you always overanalyze what others say, and sniff for flaws ? Do your friends mostly call you a pussy, and threaten to kick your ass, and make you buy the beer ? Just what makes you think that runningsuperska wasn't well aware of that little detail, you mentioned ? Are you sure you don't want to also nail him on the fact that no one in the band, including Ray Sawyer, actually had a hook, OR a license to practice medicine ? Go big or ho home, Judy Hensler.
I love the good old days when music wasn't so segregated, your grand parents listened to stuff like this, I listed to the ojays and the spinners, it was all just music and if it was good it was good.
Back in the later seventies they were already doing OK but they got a big boost when they made an appearance and performed on the hit sitcom series What's Happening. At that particular time they had made some personnel changes in the band for one reason or another. Michael McDonald became their lead singer and piano player. A very different sound from what year listening to hear in this reaction but still a very successful sound.
"Jesus is Just Alright With Me" 👍 Music like art can be a great motivator of public opinion and societal change. I think it can be safely said that The Beatles changed society world wide with their music. They certainly changed the way people thought about music and their lyrics brought people to a new understanding of the world around them.
It is feel good music. That is why young people seem to like old tunes like this. Such feel good music is sorely lacking today. and has been for quite some time.
A lot of good requests here, I suggest Ukiah, Clear as the Driven Snow, The Captain and Me and Without You all from The Captain and Me album. also it Keeps You Running.
![Talk Talk -- Such A Shame [[ Official Live Video ]] Reaction!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gPb9_3gD6Vg/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the greatest feel good songs that I grew up to in the 70's! LOVE IT!
Same here. Something magic and so real about growing up in the 70's.
'China Grove' , 'Without You' , 'Long Train Running' .
Black Water !!!!!
One of the best 70's bands.
Rockin down the highway.

Hahaha good ole Rerun and his popcorn eating while making a bootleg . Good times .
"Which Doobie youbie"
@@johnglue1744 Yeah, that was the shit, man. lol
@@SeansMusicVault Lol, I remember that episode, they all pointed at him. Lord, I was like 5. How the hell do I remember that.
@@recipioct Yeah, I think old chubby Rerun was taping the show, but all that came out was him crunching on potato chips. Cheesy stuff, but friggin' GREAT!
Check out "Black Water" from the Doobie Brothers. Awesome track.
Lionheart Roar Definitely. I think it’s my favorite song of the Doobie Brothers.
Yes, my favorite as well.
Absofuckinglutly ....sweatness
three dog nights ...good group
Doobie Brothers and CCR. It was a good time to be young.
Lets not forget the Eagles , but yes , it was a good time to be alive .
Great band and song! Hay where’s the great bands today I wonder or aren’t there any anymore ? Sad ! You have to admit music then was so great!

This is my favorite song because it can completely change my mood from whatever I am feeling to relaxed and happy!
My parents had their albums when I was a little girl...Doobie Brothers is amazing👍 very diverse group and music..😘 Great 🎶 Music
An underrated gem is their version of Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)
I freaking love the Doobie Brothers. I also love your channel.
“What a fool believes “ is so underrated
Hew there sweetie, How about some Temptations? " Papa was a rolling stone " I think you will dig it!
Music from a decade were they made real music. Its fun to see that youngsters like you rediscover this kind of music.
Doesn't get more classic than the Doobies.
What a Fool Believes; Minute by Minute on that album you’ve got up there!

Give Another Park, Another Sunday a listen. You won't be disappointed.
Classic! I am ready to roll a doobie right now.
Already spun one up for ya... (passing it over)
Puff, puff......pass 😎
No way to sit still when you listen to this song...I see you shaken’ 😉
I didn't listen to the Doobie Brothers much when I was younger, but have come to appreciate them a lot since listening to reactions. By the way, during COVID, I listen to a lot of reactions...and you are hands down my favorite.
I love this band...I remember when this hit the radio back in the day.

How about Long Train Runnin'
I miss the 1970s - please come back again. Watched these guys in concert and in their prime - one of the BEST concerts I have ever been to.
So much talent in this band also... one of my favorites. Catchy tunes, great rhythm section, & vocals blends.
Music is the gateway to the Soul. Oh and ROLL TIDE! Haha love whatching your reactions.
Grandpa must have been super cool 😎😁👍
Her grandpa sounds like my dad - great music taste and willing to let the kids soak it all up!
Doobies, Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire have some of the best music. Not just 2 or 3 songs, but almost every song they've made.
There was a time when it was difficult to to avoid this song on the radio.
This and What a Fool Believes was always on the radio in Miami,late 70's.
And why would you want to?. Lol.
Tom Johnston is the singer on this album. This is from the album "The Captain and Me". The one you are looking at is a later album with Michael McDonald as lead vocalist. Johnston's health problems were responsible for the change.
My favorite group in 79 when I graduated.
Doobie Brothers are a fantastic band. Many great songs. Keep the Doobies comn.🎸👍
I’ve always liked the laid back vibe of “South City Midnight Lady”.
Early 70's blue eyed soul/funk - simply put it's just a cool vibe.
You should hear Jesus is Just Alright, by the Doobie Brothers.
@Harry Clams And a stone-cold rocker! Fantastic guitars!
Patrick sang that one. There is a video of him singing it live on here and he knocks it and the guitar playing out the park. Fantastic!
Finally making the hall of fame this year!!!
Did you say your Grandpa used to listen to this? God, I feel so old now!!!
India, you had quite a relaxed look of content on your face during this song. I think we found your niche in The Doobie Brothers! You should check out other songs from them. They are quite underrated!
centuryrox Lol. I think India was born in ‘92. I graduated high school when she was born. I’m also old. Lol
@@jimmm7339ki3456 Ugh, you just made me feel even older, since I graduated high school 10 years before you did! LOL!
I’ve heard you refer to your grandpa in several videos. It sounds like we could have been musical twins. Sounds like a great guy.
Got to see them in college back in the day pre McDonald...great group and lots of hits from them. Thanks for reacting to their music. They always put me in a good mood, you wanted to get up and dance.
glad you had your headset on. got the full effect of the movement of the audio from one ear to the other. love the doobs. and you, too.
The DB did a great rendition of "Take Me in Your Arms." Others by them are "Black Water", "South City Midnight Lady", "Toulouse Street" (title track from the album of the same name).
Love this song. I was in high school when this came out. I miss those days.
Michael Martin Murphey & The Rio Grande Band, "Wildfire""....great song to react to :)
Oh that's a good choice
That's one of my favorite song by Michael Martin Murphy. Another favorite one by him is "What's Forever For".
Angiepremo I love his collection of Cowboy camp fire songs...fantastic. I am a retired semi operator. I wore out those tapes, loved listening when I was driving. Made me wish I was a horse back Cowboy, rather then a steel horse Cowboy. 🐴
Check out Takin it to the Streets live version 1977. Doobie Brothers music makes me happy. Them and Three Dog Night.
Agree.. I just suggested same clip with Skunk Baxters great solo
Thousand percent agree! Skunk Baxter is phenomenal on lead guitar.
@@suem6004 Skunk also played with Steely Dan... two pretty successful groups... says something
I've seen The Doobies with Skunk Baxter, and with John McFee . They are both awesome.
Tom Johnston sang lead on this. This was _before_ Michaeal McdDonald. I'm a fan of both _Doobies_ and their sounds.
Love the Doobie Brothers! The Isley Brothers do an awesome version of this song too. The early Doobie's record, 'Pursuit on 53rd Street' stomps tarmac too.
Have always loved them. They played friends of mine a game of softball for a local radio station. My friends beat their butts ❤️ it was all for fun and they still speak fondly of the guys
Early Doobies were the best Doobies. No offense Michael!!!
Unpopular comment coming. I think McDonald actually hurr the band. He is why Skunk Baxter left the band.
Same song by «Playing for Change »: music definitely has no frontier! 🙏🏼❤️
I finally subscribed. Your expressiveness won me over.
Doobie Brothers are gods in classic rock
Your teeth look nice.. Doobies are still going strong, I grew up with them in the 70’s
Love the Doobie's ! Love your channel, been watching for about 3 mo now. Keep em coming, you're doing a good job ; )
they have so many great songs. thanks india!
Most underrated song by the Doobies was "Music Is The Doctor". I believe came out in the early 90's.
Southside Midnight Lady by the doobies
One of my favourites.
Another GREAT! Original singer, Dwayne Johnson (?). Then changed over to Micheal McDonald...both were hits makers but totally different sounds.
The original lead singer was Tom Johnston.
Just one of the greatest decades for music. Maybe more like the greatest century. I miss the 1900's. The only thing that stays the same is everything changes.
Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While) will get your motor running.
Patti Labelle featuring Michael McDonald - On my own. Great song!
Listen to Dr Hook, some great music, my favorite is Cover of the Rolling Stone
I wouldn't fancy a prostate exam from him though
After that song was a hit, they finally did make the cover of Rolling Stone! Albeit in caricature form.
@randsterama Do you always overanalyze what others say, and sniff for flaws ? Do your friends mostly call you a pussy, and threaten to kick your ass, and make you buy the beer ? Just what makes you think that runningsuperska wasn't well aware of that little detail, you mentioned ? Are you sure you don't want to also nail him on the fact that no one in the band, including Ray Sawyer, actually had a hook, OR a license to practice medicine ? Go big or ho home, Judy Hensler.
My step-grandfather was the Doobie Brother's account manager at Bank of America San Francisco main branch, believe it or not.
China Grove
The displayed album cover is from later in their career and doesn't illustrate the best lead singer of the band. Props to Tom Johnston.
It is a cruising VIBE!!!
Excellent bass player with the Doobies
Doesn't this just bring joy to you.
Great live!
Great song and group! Had a couple of their albums!
Lol your grandpa use to listen to this, man I am gettin old
I love the good old days when music wasn't so segregated, your grand parents listened to stuff like this, I listed to the ojays and the spinners, it was all just music and if it was good it was good.
Nice groove nice reaction
You have such an awesome vibe about you India!
Love this!
Back in the later seventies they were already doing OK but they got a big boost when they made an appearance and performed on the hit sitcom series What's Happening. At that particular time they had made some personnel changes in the band for one reason or another. Michael McDonald became their lead singer and piano player. A very different sound from what year listening to hear in this reaction but still a very successful sound.
Great band
Please react to the Eagles Take it To the Limit great tune!!
Great traveling music
"Jesus is Just Alright With Me" 👍
Music like art can be a great motivator of public opinion and societal change. I think it can be safely said that The Beatles changed society world wide with their music. They certainly changed the way people thought about music and their lyrics brought people to a new understanding of the world around them.
Yep, I said this on another reaction video, the 70s & 80s were the best decades for music. The Doobie Brothers were a great band in the 70s.
This is the groove.
I remember seeing them on a Episode of What's Happening …...
Group is worth a deep dive India.
I’ve got a classic for you to react to, The Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart.
Time Passages by Al Stewart is another one.
Good stuff India, you should have your Grandpa on as a guest, he seems to like some cool music
It is feel good music. That is why young people seem to like old tunes like this. Such feel good music is sorely lacking today. and has been for quite some time.
This and Black Water… favourite karaoke songs back in the day
you are reacting to so many of my 45s, its so cool. check out Black Water by The Doobies.
Grandpa?!! I grew up on this music and you're only old enough to be my daughter o-O. LOL
A lot of good requests here, I suggest Ukiah, Clear as the Driven Snow, The Captain and Me and Without You all from The Captain and Me album. also it Keeps You Running.
Love them! You should react to Black Water by them. : )
Sistah, you got me over here patting me feet....
Doobie brothers “ Black water”
Great band.. Good live clip of takin it to the streets on you tube.. Skunk Baxter nails guitar solo
Oh, heck yah, your granddad listen to them. 😃
