A beginners guide to The Doobie Brothers 

A great band in all its incarnations. South City Midnight Lady is one of my favourite songs of all time.

When I think of the Doobie Brothers, I always think of the first five albums. Fantastic music!

Tom Johnston was the spring that made the band cool tight and driving.

Can't believe no mention of John McFee by name who has been a key member of the band since '79. Not a songwriter or lead singer but an amazing multi-talented/instrument musician and an important influence on the band's sound for decades.

Michael McDonald`s music is good in the morning having coffee, Tom Johnston really takeoff the day.

Great video You forgot to mention that Marc Russo joined the band in 1996 and added a distinct color to the music of this band

Great video.

Thanks for sharing this!!

Excellent! But, you failed to mention and probably don't know the real story that when Tom Johnston's "Another Park Another Sunday" was moving up the charts like a rocket, and that the "powers that be" who were the controlling radio executives didn't like the lyrics "..and the radio just seems to bring me down" as they felt that it was a slant to radio. So they used their power and pressure to take the song off of the DJ radio playlist and unfairly it quickly fell from grace. Tom didn't write those lyrics to condemn radio, but to message his lost love that when he listened to these types of sad songs throughout the breakup that sad songs brought him even more depression being without his love, which is the reality that many of us have suffered through those same emotions in our lives one time or another. "Another Park Another Sunday" was a heart cry a serious but beautiful classic love song written by Tom when he was going through a breakup at 17, and certainly destined to land in the top ten Billboard charts. The song didn't fade because of "competition" from other artists. The band with it's numerous hits were already established having a large fan base. "Another Park Another Sunday" was on it's own trajectory to the top of the charts before being shot down by supposed "friendly fire". -Larry G. Loveland, Colorado

Just watched a RU-vid channel about Steely Dan and Michael Mc Donald actually spoke about doing the harmonies on Peg

Yep

After Captain and me i Moved on but Came back when Cycles came out

Michael wasn't a member of Steely Dan

The band functions like any other corporation…similar to The Eagles etc….unfortunate but true.

Sorry guys I miscounted🌹

I'm the RU-vid bass troll, I guess. I believe these guys never recovered their past greatness because Tiran Porter's bass guitar and vocals were suppressed and downplayed on Cycles and thereafter.

Thanks for sharing! If you have a minute, we tried our hand at some original blues tunes. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you'd check it out. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)

Good video, but please get a human to do the narration in the future. Those pauses at inappropriate times and lack of needed pauses at other times is very annoying.

I HATE computerized voices.

Sorry guys I miscounted🌹
