Michael McDonald’s ( lead singer and pianist) gospel anthem to Civil Rights. He was a Ferguson, MO boy. You don't know me but I'm your brother I was raised here in this living Hell You don't know my kind in your world Fairly soon, the time will tell You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Take this message to my brother You will find him everywhere Wherever people live together Tied in poverty's despair You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see Takin' it to the streets
Great to see you're doing well Abra. I swear - either yesterday or the day before - I went to your channel to see if you had posted any reactions recently. Yes, Michael McDonald. I had this album - I agree, this is a very good tune that picks you up, lots of different good elements.
This was a monster hit back in '76 from their album of the same name. Another tune from that album that got tons of airplay was "It Keeps You Runnin'". Michael McDonald's voice is so distinctive, no wonder he was in such high demand to sing on other artists' releases back then. More Doobie reactions in 2022, please. 😎
Damn is right! Welcome back! I missed you! The doobies have gone through so many changes from the 70's to the 80's. My favorite is the 70's but the 80's were good as well
I liked this band before Michael McDonald joined, they were way better then. Tom Johnston was a better vocalist, and the band was much more edgier. Check out China Grove live: th-cam.com/video/RkEcDx8NAvI/w-d-xo.html
Yeah man that play in the solo on the guitar that was Jeff skunk Baxter you know he ain't no slouch because the thing is yeah he played with Steely Dan yeah that was a cool album this song was on something about living on the fault line or whatever they had the TransAmerica building underwater partly underwater it must be like San Francisco I'm thinking yeah alright superdude try to keep up on your videos
Yeah a little side note you know somebody had came by some brother was watching them just smoking all this weed and they just kept rolling it up and kept on smoking and he looked at them and say you know you should call your group of Doobie Brothers and yeah I guess that's stuck
Welcome back. Doobies were big when I was a teenager in the 70’s. I think you’ll like “China Grove” and “Black Water”. Also for some reason they appeared on the sitcom “What’s Happening”. Weird stuff…lol.
Great reaction. Mike McDonald wrote this gospel-flavored song about social justice. A great song & a great message. Mike’s voice is incomparable. The band is tight. Skunk Baxter is a guitar virtuoso. Tiran Porter is outstanding on bass. Love this band.
Michael McDonald did some time with the Doobie brothers. And both are also great on their own. Definitely a 70's vibe. Love the reaction Abracadabra. Thanks as always.
Please react to Allman Brothers an't wast'n time no more. Eric Clapton " The Core" . You are a Cool Cat. Another great Brothers tune End of the line" Thanks for your great reactions
McDonald was recruited by the Doobie Brothers in 1975, initially as a temporary replacement for their lead vocalist after he had become ill during a national tour, but McDonald's work with the band proved so successful that they decided to retain him as a full-time member.
Love the Doobie Brothers. Where are they now. Check out PLAYING FOR CHANGE "LISTEN TO THE MUSIC" so great! Members of Doobie Brothers and musicians from around the world.
Bon jour, Abracadabra.. I just adore your reactions, beaucoup!! As a Cajun woman there is something quite attractive about your reactions but your open-minded reviews of are quite interesting, as are you🇺🇦🇺🇲 Take care, mon cher..
Abra cadabra hocus pocus hope you don't poke us in the eye, for an all time "Live Concert " recorded performance check out " Frampton Comes Alive " by Brit Maestro Peter Frampton, preferably front to back, it's the next best thing to being there
They always have a cool vibe.Love your thoughts and have missed them. You eill love Yah Mo Be There with Micheal McDonald and James Ingram if you haven't heard it...here's the video but live versions are awesome. th-cam.com/video/8SPYSrcxhzY/w-d-xo.html
I saw them perform in the early 70's when i was about 14...the massive bass speakers were thumping out so hard you can see them, it was an epic concert; Eddie Money opened for them. it was an ever-lasting impression. DB's will always remain classy.
Heya bro love your reaction videos probably the best online it’s cool to connect with someone that wouldn’t Really listen to this into the same music and it’s cool that we are all the same and we get it just for a future it be cool if you could listen to Pantera Cemetery Gates it’s a bit hard but probably you wouldn’t want to go harder than that peace
Absolutely one of the greatest bands of that era. They are timeless and I believe are doing a concert here in Las Vegas soon. Will definitely be seeing them. Great song and reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to see you! I came by your channel to see your reaction to “One way out” by the ALLMAN Brothers! It’s my favorite! The Doobie Brothers are awesome!
Peace and good to you, and yours b! Thank you for this video. Thank you for pushing forward in life, and thank you for existing! May you and yours have undeserved kindness and everlasting peace in mind.
Skunk Baxter is one bad ass guitar player...
Very much agreed! His guitar work with Steely Dan is beyond impressive

Good music is like magic
I was definitely all in on this live version. Then when the guitar solo hit me in the face it just took the song a whole new level.
Skunk Baxter on guitar... he thoroughly understood the assignment
You're back! Glad to see you again, Abra
🙏✌🏾
Yeah a little side note you know somebody had came by some brother was watching them just smoking all this weed and they just kept rolling it up and kept on smoking and he looked at them and say you know you should call your group of Doobie Brothers and yeah I guess that's stuck
Hey! Happy New Year!
Welcome back, Abra! Will watch when I get home 😊
You are still one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I mean that with all sincerity.😁

You stopped too soon. That piano part coming up is Fire!
The Doobie Brothers were the first rock band I ever saw in concert. Allentown Fairgrounds, 1979, I think.
My first concert was Canadian band April Wine with opening band, get this, Heart !! 🤪
Wow, good to see you again. I thought i'd been unsubscribed, glad to see you're still here!
Great reaction. Mike McDonald wrote this gospel-flavored song about social justice. A great song & a great message. Mike’s voice is incomparable. The band is tight. Skunk Baxter is a guitar virtuoso. Tiran Porter is outstanding on bass. Love this band.
