Doobie brothers always had some great uplifting songs. There is no mistaking Michael McDonald's voice its so smooth.
This song is not uplifting. The music is, but the song is horribly sad.
His voice is EVERYTHANG
Ah the days before sampling, auto-tune, and songwriters who played instruments and performed their own songs without lip synch
Hans Gruber Yep when real talent emerged organically.
They still do that.
@@personalcheeses8073 you're trying to tell me producing isn't a talent and sampling is hard hahaha try it yourself buddy
The irony being, they're lip synching to this!
TheBrandon425 not exactly; if you listen closely, you can hear Micheal’s voice softly echoing throughout the room since his mouth is so close to the microphone. In addition, he sings certain verses at a different tempo and pitch than he did in the original studio recording, which further proves that he and the band are truly singing the song live. It only sounds like lip syncing at first because Michael is one of those rare artists who’s voice sounds just as good live as it does on the radio.
True, lip syncing was used by some bands for select live TV performances back in those days, but they would still play their instruments regardless, and some bands would simply play live for real, even if they sounded different than in the studio. That technique was mostly used by artists who were unsure of the audience’s reaction to them actually playing live, so they would cheat with that, letting the recording cover their voices while they played their instruments live.
Listen to this video and the original recoding side by side, and you’ll hear the differences which set them apart from each other.
Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze ....always brings me back to the feeling of the 70's. Makes me feel fine .
Love that too
@@yvetteadshead4212 Isley Brothers did a great version in 76 which was played live on 'Soul train' I think it was called. Check it out
Nice i agree .3cheers from Canada
@@pinball1970 just spent the last hour listening to The Isley Brothers songs on you tube, love the songs and music, deffo my era
@@patriciahopey1384 takes me back to summer days in the 70's
Oh Michael McDonald the only voice on earth that sings high and deep at the same time. Never seen anything like it. I saw them all in concert in Florida before Michael left the band. Heard all the great songs!!! Love the Doobies
Michael still performs with other bands. I saw him perform with Toto a few years ago; they were all gr8 as always. :-)
You are oh so lucky!
@@sunshyne8539 thanks sunshine, yes I was. Unforgettable memories.
Michael McDonald rocks some Blue-Eyed soul!
Him and Daryl Hall!!!!
Joe Bonamassa and Warren Haynes
George michael too...and elton when he chooses.
This is Doobie Brothers 2.0. Their sound changed when McDonald joined in the late 70s. Try some earlier songs like China Grove, Listen to the Music, or Black Water.
Tom Gibson also Long Train Running. I liked their earlier sound better when Tom Johnston was there instead of Michael McDonald.
I like both incarnations. The Rock bluesy folk beginning and the rnb soul later version.
To me, their best stuff, BY FAR are the whole Captain And Me Album, the whole What Once Were Habits Are Now Vices and the whole Stampede album. BY FAR the best!
I like both. Just like Airplane and Starship, etc. I like all of their iterations.
Love Micheal McDonald. Two different styles of Doobie music, but still great sounds. No other group can claim having the distinction of pulling off that feat. I was living in the Bay when the original Doobies started and I'm a fan for life.
Ty,thank you for all that you do!!! God's blessing on you & your family 🙏
Excellent Doobie Brothers song. Taking It To the Streets (also by the Doobie Brothers), also great
YAASS!!
We played that in high school band for pep rallies! 🤣
I recommend two pre-Michael McDonald Doobie Brothers songs: "Black Water" (No. 1) and "Listen to the Music" (No. 11).
Those were my favorites as well. I'm just not a big fan of MM.
Marcus Oh-really-us Yes, those are good. I never understood why they let him sing!
Listen to the music is my all time fav doobies song!!!
Tom Johnston is the best doobies singer, but MM ain't bad!!
Clear as the driven snow and South City Midnight Lady are my all time favorites.
This is the guy you though was black singing with Patti Labella
I though Michael McDonald was black until I saw a music video of him in the 80's.
Cause he always brings some church in his voice..
You can never turn your back on true classic unforgettable songs like this one. Myself personally, play this song every time I’m cleaning or cooking or sometimes both. I thank my mother for introducing this song to me, I just love it.
Wow. I just saw Skunk Baxter also here! That guy is so versatile. Bongos. Missile defense expert. Guitar. It’s just wherever the day takes him. Lol
Hey, if he could be asked to play multiple times for those anal-retentive perfectionists Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, then rocket science is a walk in the park, lol.
"Minute By Minute". Close your eyes until you hear Michael's voice. 😁
Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Dire Strait, America, (without Michael McDonald) all great road trip groups!
I think he might like the " DAN" !
Eagles.
Definitely Steely Dan.
Definitely Steely Dan. Reeling in the Years.
Little River Band
Love, love the old Doobie Bros tunes..I remember driving down China Graveyard Rd outside of Jackson, CA listening to China Grove!! :)
Whenever I hear China Grove on the radio, I sing along, love that one!
It was a big #1 hit for the Doobies in 1979. Written by Michael MDonald (and Kenny Loggins who is not in the group). Great lyrics. Michael McDonald was not the original lead singer of the group. He was brought in to replace singer Tom Johnston who was having health issues. Tom sang their earlier big songs like China Grove, Jesus Is Just Alright, Listen to the music. Eventually Tom came back and is still currently the lead singer of the group. They're about to play the New Orleans Jazz fest this month.
Qthelost Kenny Loggins wrote everything it seems lol. I keep finding more songs he wrote that just surprises me.
The doobies were around long before George micheals song.this song is a big piece of the fabric of my life for my early years.the doobies were big in high school.1972 to 1975 and their success continued long after. 3cheers from Canada
"China Grove" for the licks!
I'd like to see you react to Blondie - Rapture.
The first hint of rap music.
Oh gosh!! I thought Blondie, too, but not that one... his reaction would probably be hilarious. 😁
"What A Fool Believes"
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...
This song received Grammy Awards in 1980 for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Great tune with great lyrics.
My fave Doobie song is 'Takin' it to the Streets.' Great song.
Love the Doobie Brothers. I'd like to suggest you do a reaction to Lying Eyes by The Eagles please. Thank you Ty.
Yes do a reaction to Lying Eyes,love that song 💜 great choice Virginia 👍👍👍
Yes indeed .
In my 30s I'm only 40 now but love the eagles, SAW THEM IN CONCERT, ORIGINAL BAND PLUS DON HENLY, best concert I ever saw!!!
Outstanding music. Killer lyrics- the stuff many people have experienced, including some who don't admit it... since unrequited love can be so painful.
Meantime dude, to your great credit, you're the only channel I've seen after many years watching a million UA-cam channels who actually asked people to check you out before subscribing!!! You deserve a cup of coffee and a conversation... and keep doing what you're doing. Some of us stopped being sheep (man, Christ was right) long ago. Thanks again.
Michael McDonald did a song with Patti Labelle called On My Own. You may have already reacted to it.
yep then they blocked the video
Good harmony these guys have. Always liked them
I was a teenager in high school when this song was released so Looooots of good memories.
First heard of the Doobie Brothers from my older brother 🤗👍 I really like this song...
Who misses the 70's, greatest musical decade ever!
Fun reaction again
I was waiting for that sudden look of recognition when you realized who the singer was :-)
My favorite harmony along with Southern Cross by Crosby Stills and Nash!
I love Michael McDonald’s voice! He was with the Doobie Brothers before he went solo! I probably first heard it riding with my Dad! He loved all music from R&B to rock to county to gospel! ❤️❤️
i believe was 5 years old when this song came out and it made me wonder what he was singing about.
I would always sing along when it was on" typically back then" an am radio station. All i knew then about music was i loved it and that all kinds of it made me feel something. And this particular song at that young age just made me feel really good and happy for some reason. I can remember my mom in the kitchen cooking a big smelly boiling pot of collar greens with the radio on and that song was like sugar to this little boy back then running around the dining room and kitchen in circles singing it with all i had in cut off rustler shorts. Wow i am 51 now and life is so different. But about your channel. Very refreshing.
Once again i am happy i discovered your channel but not just for these reaction videos, "yet it tends to keep me up binge watching two nights in a row now😁" but for all the other playlists as well. Some obviously i have not got to yet. I am looking forward to digging into all of it and was very excited to see you on the panel chat the other night. That's how i discovered your channel, and i hope to see you on them often. Brandon Derrick and ABL are my main news sources. I relate to truth and that is hard to find in mainstream media if at all.
I appreciate what you are doing and how straight forward you are. Keep on keeping on. Having a voice to trust in the medical field is very valuable to many nowadays due to all the fear being projected. Thanks again. Peace.
The Doobie Brothers are together again and are on tour. They will be in Saint Louis Aug. 13....cant wait to see them...first time in 25 years that they are touring together. Love their music.
Bless you in the name of Jesus too. I’ve been a musical old soul from birth, and this song hit the airwaves when I was 10 years old. I’m telling you I could not stop playing this record for such a long time. It just hit me so hard because I love beautiful, rhythmic melodies coupled with tight harmonies and few artists did it better than the Doobie Brothers, and Michael McDonald’s voice is just addictive. So, per your request, that’s my story. I also love that you are listening to music and posting it from a musician’s point of view. Keep it up.
I have loved this song since I was a kid. His voice & the story telling is what hooked me.
Loved the Doobies, especially the Michael McDonald version.! A great mix of R&B, with some fusion rock and of course Michael's fantastic voice!
One of the great rock groups in history....a travesty they are not in the Hall of Fame...all because of the name.
Well you're in luck, they up for nomination and look pretty good!
They got in ...May 2020 don't know if delayed due to the coronavirus.
Another good song from that period of the Doobies is, It Keeps You Running.
Great song. The Doobies haven’t been the same since McDonald left 👊🏼
He still plays with them periodically.
@@isaiahmarquez9717 as he should. It’d be quite lucrative for all involved 💵💵💵💵💵
Loving the Doobies! Michael McDonald is amazing. Omg, i’ll always remember being intro’d to the Doobies by the show, What’s Happening?! Re-run brought in a tape recorder to bootleg the concert , ha! Memories...
Michael McDonald is pure class, what a fantastic voice. The song was used in the classic 80's movie Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hynes.
I hated this song at first but it kind of grew on me. Still a fan of many of their songs.
Dude I love this song, thanks for playing it. I was young when this song was popular, my pops would play it.
Much love and respect for this channel
The guitarist with the handlebar mustache is Jeff (Skunk) Baxter who played with many groups (Steele Dan , Dire Straights etc.) and has worked as a consultant for US. Defense . Love the Dooley Brothers all along. Listening, Dancing , Lyrics. Thanks for your videos. Be blest.☦️👩🏻🦳🐾🐾🇺🇸
I was born in 1977 and my dad liked the Doobie Brothers. It’s my cradle music and some of the first music I remember. Still love it.
Brings back my 1979!
Keep in mind this is a live performance, not a lip synch. And still not a single note or beat or harmony out of place. That's the kind of talent these guys had. Who on today's Billboard Top 100 comes close to that kind of musicianship?
I remember as clear as day when I first heard What a Fool Believes. I was on my way to an all girls slumber party sitting in the back of a station wagon that was turning onto Princess Anne Rd. in La Canada Flintridge. It was an exciting time & an exciting song. Very exhilarating & a feel good beat 🎵 As I got older, the song had more meaning as I disected the lyrics. It is a classic. 1978 offered up some fantastic music 👏
“What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away”.....that’s so true.
I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert in the 70’s. Great concert , you’ve been playing a lot of music that’s bringing back so memories.
Written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. They wrote 2 more songs, which ended up with Kenny Loggins singing lead vocal and releasing them under his name. Produced by Ted Templeman. Years later, he produced Sammy Hagar and Van Halen.
MM also sang with Nicollette Larson, Steely Dan in the 1970s. In the 1980s, MM sang on solo albums and with Christopher Cross, late James Ingram, Patti Labelle and Toto.
Not given much publicity. In 1983, Ted Templeman brought in MM to finish writing lyrics. The song was I'll Wait. the credits are as follows: "written by Van Halen and Michael McDonald". This was the lineup from 1978 to 1984: David Lee Roth, late Eddie van Halen, Alex van Halen and Michael Anthony.
No Roger, no Rerun, no rent! I remember the Doobie Brothers on What's Happening!! Piracy has always been a problem lol...💚🦅🏈
The guitar player sitting down is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter from Steely Dan. He now works as a defense consultant and chaired a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense.
This song is so Good!!!! Soulful, funk I don't know how to describe it. Michael Mcdonald!!!
I remember playing GTA V running down citizens on the curbs and sidewalks while my radio was tuned into Los Santos Rock radio and this was playing.
Good days
I was a kid in the 70's on a carnival ride called the himalaya and this song came on along with another song called "Sara" by Fleetwood Mac and I was hooked!
Solid band, solid tune ..
Dang. Why can't we make *deeply meaningful* music like this anymore?
Song was written by Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins in 1978. And if you don't know who Kenny Loggins is, hit one of his videos. Great rocker. Where was I when the song hit the radio waves? Stationed at Fort Carson turning wrenches on Chinook helicopters at Butts AAF. Doobies are one of my all time favorite bands. Their sound continued growing and moving in slightly different directions and they took chances. Great band.
WOW! Love The Doobie Bros. My favorite song by them. Love Michael McDonalds unique voice. Was one of the songs choices on my personal list. Whoever requested this song Thank You!💯
Just 5 days ago I saw Michael McDonald in an outdoor venue on a blamy night in Seattle with my 44 yr. old son...it was fantastic. His voice is strong and intoxicating. He changed the Doobie Brothers sound when he joined (my son says they aren't the Doobie Brothers without him) I love both incarnations. Bravo to the old school video.
I love this tune from Michael McDonald, man. And, I love your videos. Greetings from the Philippines. Much love!
I do like the earlier Doobie Brothers, but this song brings back some chill memories. I was four-ish and riding around with my parents all the time with this song. It reminds me of rain and windshield wipers.
You have to try Black Waters by the Doobie brothers. Love that song reminds me of my childhood.
I really enjoy the variety of music that you review. Great channel!
Well, this song was released 4 years before I was born, so I don't really remember the first time I ever heard it, but I do remember always loving it.
And although it's basically a "sad" song (about a man who is in love with and thinks he still has a shot with a woman who couldn't care less about him), it always makes me want to dance every time I hear it because the sound is just so damn catchy.
Thank you, Ty! Great memories of time at the beach. Love, Pam & LoLa
❤️🐾❤️
Music has a way of collapsing time and space. I appreciate how wonderfully you are amazed by that.
I was 8 when this song was popular. I liked it. It was comforting. I had a messed up family life at the time and this was a song that made me smile
One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
My mother introduced me to this song when I was 4, I was born in 75. God bless her for giving me the love for good music this is one if my all time favorite.
I LOVE this song. Play it in the kitchen frequently. And I must confess, I have spent 40 YEARS trying to understand just what the lyrics are, and just what it's about . . . but it's embedded in my wiring just the same! : )
This is a classic! Love the Doobs
One of those songs that gets better and better the more you hear it and fully listen to the lyrics
I was born in 1980 in Lakewood, Washington and this is the music I grew up with. Used to play on the radio all the time when I was a kid. I don't know why, maybe my Mon's influence, but stuff like Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald, Lionel Ritchie, Billy Ocean, George Michael, etc. really struck me as the kinda music I would really gravitate towards. Music with soul, harmony, emotion...hard to explain. I love all different types of music from metal, hip hop, techno, soft rock, R&B, jazz...all kinds and from all different countries and artists. But this right here has always stuck with me as my preferred style that I keep going back to.
I lived in Lakewood, NY, actually grew up there.
Everybody always says The Eagles had the best harmonies, but everybody always seem to sleep on the Doobie Brothers harmonies. Right up there with the Eagles!!!
I'm sorry the Michael McDonald version of the Doobie Bros, IS NOT THE REAL DOOBIE BROS!!!!
One of my all time favourite songs, I could never get fed up of listening to this song
Michael McDonald is lead singer. But he was backup singer to gobs of artists. This run at the beginning was created by them but was repeated in new wave music and is in tons of songs. Michael is one of the best singer coming out of the 80’s.
I just stumbled upon this and I was a young woman when this came out. It was a monster hit for them but probably lead to McDonald moving on. They did one more album but then he went solo with great success in the 1980’s. Saw him a couple of years ago and he’s still got it. He was supposed to tour with The Doobie Brothers including Tom Johnston this summer but that is probably on hold now.
The studio recording of this is probably the one to hear. Still amazing that they could do it live, but...
It took them a long time to record this. They almost hated playing it live. A lot of key and tempo changes, lots of instruments, and the harmonies were extremely difficult. Great video.
Love the Doobie Brothers! Great music. Crazy fantastic vocals!
I have inside info about the guy in the front with the aviator sunglasses and headphones who's sitting with his guitar. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter had grown so tired of the commercial direction the Doobies were heading that he was basically checked out by this time. Skunk was not only refusing to play for this taping, he was actually listening to a Jazz record at the time. Pretty much the modern day equivalent of browsing soundcloud during class.
I love seeing the quizzical looks on your face when you seem to recognize a voice or song.
Modern Renaissance Man...love the Bass Guitars in the background....
When this song was released in 1979, it played on radio all day, every day for months and months and months. When Renaissance Man says that it's a song that we never get tired of hearing, he is right.
This is one of my favourite songs, love his voice. 👍🏻👍🏻
OUTSTANDING... going to see these guys july 18 2020, London Ontario.. with Michael McDonald 👍👍 totally excited...
i think it's cancelled now.
@@cameranmanner4701 im pretty sure ... was going to see zz top may 16th as well... no full events will happen this yr..
It was a staple on 70's and early 80's radio & variety shows when I was a kid. I still appreciate the band's vocals.
I want to say thanks for the last number of reactions, because it's been the music from my formative years.This is from my freshman year of high school. Great song. Better memories. Hard to believe it's been 40 years.
Seriously though, from the last comment I made, listen to Peter Schilling's "The Different Story". I think you'll like it.
Please react to Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath
I'm partial to Skating Away and Bungle in the Jungle.
They sure know they got that soul . Love me some Doobie Brothers ...
I remember this from my childhood in the ‘70s; something about those chord progressions just made me happy, and still does! 🙏🏻✌🏻❤️🌈
This is the singer that sang the duet with Patti Labelle. “On My Own”. You did a reaction video to that song and you were quite impressed with Mike McDonald in that song.
Michael McDonald's voice makes women go crazy. Amazing voice, talented man. He was a fantastic solo artist as well. With some of my faves "I keep forgetting" and "Sweet Freedom" love love love!!!
