      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.

    "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. "

  • @opalmay70

    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.

  • @aleatharhea
    @aleatharhea ปีที่แล้ว +34

    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.

  • @charlesburris6314
    @charlesburris6314 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    "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.

  • @crimsonclover8314
    @crimsonclover8314 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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. 😎✌️✨️

    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.

    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.

    I really like that you did your homework right in front of us and acquainted yourself with the info regarding the band, the song, the writers, etc before listening and commenting. There are IMO too many "first responders" out there who come to their reactions with zero knowledge of any such kind and their comments are often wrenchingly cringeworthy to those of us who followed these artists as their careers were unfolding.

    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!

  • @jodij6280

    "I have to pause this"...then you don't because you're rocking out. Love it! You should listen to his duet with Patti LaBelle - On My Own.

    If you like this as much as you say, I'd suggest following up with another Loggins/McDonald song, "This is It," from the same time period. It's performed by Kenny Loggins (and not The Doobie Brothers). You'll get more of the same vibe present in "What a Fool Believes."

    Two distinct eras with two very different lead vocalists. The Tom Johnston era was first and more raw and rocking. The Michael McDonald era started in the late 70s with Takin' it to the Streets, and features more pop and R&B. Both are excellent, depending on your tastes.

    @oldguyespo640 ปีที่แล้ว

    Blue Eyed Soul means White Soul that's all. Michael MacDonald joined the group later on, but the Doobie Brothers was more of a family rather than a band. Members came and left and returned, it was just the way the band was...

  • @cliftonparago4547

    Michael McDonald became their lead singer after their first guy left over creative differences. They started as a Southern Rock band before the chance to Pop

  • @jeffburnham6611
    @jeffburnham6611 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely a song from the late 1970's. Not too surprising that it hit #1 either, especially considering the era of disco was on its way out and the more pop-rock style of music was going to dominate the 1980's. Other #1 hits in 1979 would include bands like Super Tramp, The Knack, Dr Hook...none of these were considered disco.

    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.

    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.

    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."

    Great voice but I prefer the Doobies before he joined the band. Try China Grove or Long Train Running. Much more rock-y.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
