Music “Should Be” Color Blind! A child of the 70’s, I can honestly say, I never thought of color. A good start with Doobie’s: China Grove Long Train Running Black Water Jesus is Just Alright Taking it to The Streets (McDonald on lead vocals)
:D When scientists finished mapping the Human Genome they found that all human beings share 99.9% of their DNA. That being said, IMHO, the only important differences that exist between one human being and another are the quality of the thoughts that exist between their ears and the spirit of kindness that fills their heart of hearts. :) Nothing else matters.
My favorite was Taking it to the Streets! I wore out my cassette tape and when CDs came out played the heck out of it! Doobie Brothers and Journey Eagles what great music we had!
“What a Fool Believes” is about the guy’s unrequited love for a woman who never saw him as anything but someone she knew from long ago. She was his dream girl, he was just a past acquaintance to her.
You might have heard: Listen To The Music, China Grove, Long Train Running, Taking It To The Streets, Blackwater. And other great hits.The Doobie Brothers are still playing 50 years later.
I always imagine a skit of McDonald pitching this song to the band like it was his coming out as a singer/songwriter starting with the beep beep boop beep boop beep beep boo beep then busting out that growling whisper of a voice and them completely dogging him, then fast forwarding to them 8 deep on stage or however many just barely playing their instruments looking at each other in disbelief as McDonald does his thing with crowds eating it up. The band still in shock as McDonald takes over but provides somehow with the contrast of what the band sounded like before with the songs you mentioned above has to be one of the most extreme transitions ever. McDonald is undeniable but arguably the antithesis of the sound of the doobies previously. I refuse to look up the real story keeping my fantasy of how it went down intact.
The guitarist sitting down is none other than Jeff "Skunk" Baxter who really is a rocket scientist and chaired the Civilian Advisory Board for Ballistic Missile Defense in 1995. He has consulting contracts with the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. He consults for the US Department of Defense and the US intelligence community, as well as defense-oriented manufacturers such as Science Applications International Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corp., General Dynamics, and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.
@@payleighsteele1540 and Spirit. Oddly enough he's also sitting while playing in the Spirit video I Got A Line On You. He's been a session guitarist for just about every artist you can think of, plus touring with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, and Billy Vera and the Beaters. He's even played keyboards for several artists. LOL, he even scored a movie, The Curse of Inferno.
I always felt like this song was about a guy who had a mad crush years ago, but it was one sided. They meet again and "She had a place in HIS life. He never made HER think twice."
That's what I thought, too. She apologized for not thinking of him the same way he thought of her. He's a fool who believed in something that only existed in his head.
There are 2 periods of Doobie Brothers, they started with Tom Johnston on lead vocals but he had health problems so Michael McDonald took over. Guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter knew Michael from Steely Dan before he joined the Doobie Brothers.
If you like Michael McDonald's voice do listen to his duet with PattiLaBelle "On My Own", it cannot be described with words.Also with James Ingram "Yamo Be There". The song is about a guy who mistook a fling for something real and he keeps hoping she will return although they never really had anything, hence the words"trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created" she just gets up and walks away because their "love story" was only ever in his daydreams.
He has a magnificent voice. He sang with Steely Dan, then the doobie brothers and his solo career and the doobie brothers again. Great music great songs
Those mikes are the classis Sennheiser. They were often used for kick drums in the early days, but Michael McDonald started using them when he was singing with Steely Dan.
The Doobie Brothers were from San Jose, Ca in 1970. Yes DB, the name is taken from the fact that they did enjoy their 'Doobies'. The name started out as a joke but hell it was the 70s. Tom Johnson was the original lead on most songs but something happened to him. I think he had health issues for awhile. So they got Michael McDonald until Tom eventually came back. This band has SO many hits through the 70s and 80s. Back in the day you could drop the needle anywhere on their albums and you'd be happy. I suggest Black Water. It'll give you a totally different reaction. Seriously and Chelsea thinks so too. Lol
Long Train Running, Taking It to the Streets, Minute By Minute, Black Water, You Belong to Me, and so many more. The Doobie Brothers are massively talented!❤
Doobie Brothers also sing "China Grove".......check it out.........LOVE ME SOME DOOBIE BROTHERS. Saw them on May 30, 1975.... Tampa Stadium.......Along with The Eagles, Seals and Croft, Charlie Daniels Band, Linda Ronstadt.....My first concert...........
The Doobie Brothers are awesome! We had an abundance of great bands back in the 70s! Listen to the Music, Long Train Running, and China Grove and Black Water also big hits for the Doobies.
You heard the lead singer, Michael McDonald a few days ago with Don. It was his solo song, I Keep Forgetting. Michael has a very unique voice. Hard not to recognize. You won’t be disappointed by The Doobie Brothers catalogue or Michael’s. Thanx. Love, from Oklahoma 🤍 PS-Give Simply Red a go, please. Begin with I Keep Holding On. Also Bobby Caldwell, What You Won’t Do For Love.
Doobie Brothers out of San José, Ca. That’s Michael McDonald on lead. The song is about a guy who believes that the girl has the same feelings for him that he’s had for her all these years. “She had a place in his life. He, never made her think twice. What a fool believes, what he sees, the Wise man has the power to reason away, what he feels to be, is always better than nothing”. This one went to #1 on the charts and won the Doobies a Grammy for Best Song of the Year. Their “Minute by Minute was #1 for 3 weeks on the charts and won a Grammy for “Best Performance by a Group”. They’ve put out 14 Albums. “Listen to the Music”, “Long Train Running”, “Black Water”, “Jesus is Just Alright”, “ I Keep Forgetting”, “ Taking it to the Streets”, they are still Touring in 2024 and selling out Stadiums….. SanJoséBob
It's going to be hilarious when you realize how many awesome songs this group put out and how many of them you probably know but didn't know it was them
You should see a show with all of them together!! They came together to make a reunion concert video with all the drummers, guitarists, organists and so forth!! ALL of them!! It was epic!! 🇺🇸💋😎👵🐺🌵✨💋💋💋
This song is reminiscent of like a 20 yr high school reunion where a guy meets a former classmate that he had huge crush on. His memories are fantasies of the place she had in his life, when in reality she hardly knew him and barely even remembers him.
LOVE the DOOBIES!!! ..and, again: YOU can "SPOT" Michael McDonald - ANYWHERE he sings....just such a UNIQUE VOICE... I know you enjoyed his "I Keep Forgetting", the other day!! DOOBIES have a LOT of GREAT TUNES!! ENJOY!!!
Love the Doobie Brothers ♥️ those of us who were fortunate to have our preteen & teen years in the 70s and young adulthood in the 80s with a booming economy DID have the best of all generations. We got to experience the growth of the music industry after the birth of Rock-n-Roll to what it was in the 60s, how it changed in the 70s living through Disco. And I don’t care what anyone says. I loved disco. There’s nothing better to dance to then disco. But the 70s gave us the best rock ‘n’ roll to now be known as classic rock ‘n’ roll. We had it all in music was every bit a part of it. There was something for however you were feeling. I loved the Pop, the oldies, the crooners Dean Martin Tom Jones, of course Elvis big Elvis fan😁 Big Hair Bands, we had it all. Yes, we’ve had a sweet life.
She is not lying to him. He is trying to recreate an old relationship with her and deceiving himself that she will return to his life and that it's not really over. " No wise man has the power, to reason away, "
The Doobie Brothers was my first concert. It was July 12, 1979. The stage was covered in doobies from the fans throwing them onto the stage. One of the band members bent down, picked one up, and smoked it immediately. The whole arena was lighting up and smoking. Everywhere you looked, you could see the smoke through the lights. It was a great concert experience.
Seen them last year, Black Water ,Jesus is just alright,China Grove, there are so many great songs. Love the Doobie Brothers ❤🎶🎶 That's Michael McDonald this was in the 70's BP.
I’m 61 and remember this being the album I got for my birthday one yr. I was around 12-13 . My first teen type party . We played the Doobie Brothers over and over 😊🦠💚🦠💚
Dear brother, Greetings from Malaysia your 65 yrs old fan. Thank you for your wonderful reactín. I am now your new faithful fan. Do react to another great Singer from Brazil Gabriel Henrique. Gavriel is the current Best Male Vocalist Of the new generation. His voice is so powerful .. flawless and melt your heart stole your soul. Gavriel is the King of Whistle of Brazil. The most stunning abd amazing is GABRIEL doesn't speak English but he sang Perfectly in English with so much emotion that you will move by his performance. Please continue reacting to Gabriel, the great singer in the making. Absolutely legendary. Don't miss Gabriel greatest performance in - Earth Song - Something Beautiful (live performance with choir) - You're Still the One - Never Enough - Hurts - You See the Fire in the Rain - I Believe - Stand Up - The Moment in Time - I have Nothing - O Holy Night - Am Telling You I'm not Going - Greatest Love of All - Lead the Way - One Moment in Time - My Heart Will Go On Expect the Unexpected. Love and hugs from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love Michael McDonald’s voice, he sang “I Keep Forgetting “ that was sampled by Warren G.! He sounds nothing like Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees but they both made great music in the seventies, the songs is from 1978! The Doobie Brothers are an iconic group! They are not blood brothers! 🤦🏽♀️❤❤
Love you going outside your box and finding other great music. Music ( all genres) has so much to offer. Keep digging bro, none of us have heard it all. Just us old cats have heard a little more.
There are two types of mic, condenser (delicate used in studios) and dynamic (more rugged, used on stage). That mic looks a bit like a Sennheiser MD4 dynamic mic but not exactly. Who knows, you're going to have to look at historic dynamic mics from the mid 70's through mid 80's to find out for sure. And it is the second type of brother, the no relation type. If you want to bop, there is nothing better than their Listen to the Music.
Michael McDonald is one of my favorite artists ever. His voice is unmistakable and everybody wanted Michael on their track. So many duets and features. I've seen Michael live and it is such a fun show. We stood the entire time dancing...everyone...it's impossible to sit still. He was headlining and Chaka Khan was on after him. It was amazing! He's a legend.
The Doobie brothers had a long string of hits and southern rock sound before Michael joined them and brought this new keyboard sound and vocals to the group. This song was HUGE and so was the album Minute by Minute. great album. great songs.
If you want to see a husband & wife both playing stacked keyboards like that you should check out the Captain & Tennille - Love Will Keep Us Together. It was the biggest hit of 1975 and 1975 had a lot of big hits. She has a great soulful voice.
Ooooh! This takes me back to the roller rink! Nostalgia hurts sometimes. Michael MacDonald’s voice is ALL OVER the 70’s and 80’s like he owned them. And he did. So funky! Amazing voice!
I am guessing that what you have missed is a LOT, after seeing your last few reactions. There is so much fabulous music from decades ago that you have to look forward to!! I loved how into this song you were- having your own personal groove party in your chair!! Appreciate that so much!! The Doobie Brothers were awesome way before people used the word awesome !!! Michel McDonald has a legendary voice - very recognizable. Look him up for his solo songs as well. See you soon.......🤓
Great reaction! That smooth sound is sometimes called blue-eyed soul. The song is about a guy that harbors fond memories of a romance from the past, but it's all in his head. She was nice to him, but he imagined it was more. He runs into her later in life, fondly reminiscing, but she doesn't recall it that way. She apologizes that she has to go, but he believes in the false idea he has anyway.
Gah!!! I can't even begin to express how much I love that u are checking out everything I grew up listening to!! Again, I could give u a list a mile long, but some of their more popular songs are China Grove, Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin', Black Water, Jesus is alright with me, & Takin' it to the streets! Michael Macdonald takes the lead on this song, but he has solo music as well! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, check out I Keep Forgettin! 🙏🙏🙏You will get a very nice surprise!! 😏
Michael McDonald had a successful solo career after he left THE DOOBIE BROTHERS, he sang the theme song for a GREGORY HINES and BILLY CRYSTAL movie in the 80's, "RUNNING SCARED" / SWEET FREEDOM
Ah, Michael and that blue-eyed soul. Facts. He was on several Steely Dan tracks on background vocals. There's a great interview with him on how difficult it was to do those backing tracks for the Dan. Apparently, it was pretty intense.
This song was co-written by Michael Macdonald (singer) and Kenny Loggins (they both recorded versions). It’s about a guy who gets together with an ex that he completely blew it with and is still so clueless he thinks he still has a chance when she was clear he doesn’t. Professor of Rock has a great episode where he interviews Kenny Loggins (also a legend you might want to react to) about the writing of this song. Kenny and Micheal collab on the amazing This Is It, could Kenny Loggins to start with.
BP, you have an old soul.... I wish I could take you back to that time, it was wonderful compared to the BS we have to live in today. I never got off, The Love Train.
The Doobie Brothers were featured in a 70's sitcom called "What's Happening." The three lead characters were attempting to record a bootleg of their concert and they got busted by the band.
Michael McDonald was 27 years old here. He's 72 now and still performing this song 45 years later!
Still got a great voice. His recent UA-cam Interview with Rick Beato is fantastic 😊
this song like michael defies time
Love him !!!!!!!
Music “Should Be” Color Blind! A child of the 70’s, I can honestly say, I never thought of color.
A good start with Doobie’s:
China Grove
Long Train Running
Black Water
Jesus is Just Alright
Taking it to The Streets (McDonald on lead vocals)
Definitely Black Water followed by China Grover
Nice recommendations
Great List Suggestions for Doobie Brothers (my college days ... ahhhhhhhhhh .... )

ALL BANGERS!!! :)
Love the Blue-eyed soul of Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers!! 51 yes old and jam this with my 70 yr old parents still!!!
His eyes ❤
I grew up with the Doobies, too.... blessed to be raised in the 1970s!
My favorite was Taking it to the Streets! I wore out my cassette tape and when CDs came out played the heck out of it! Doobie Brothers and Journey Eagles what great music we had!
@@sandralybrand9425 YES have you seen the live version....it's so so good, so true today, too.
Same! 56
“What a Fool Believes” is about the guy’s unrequited love for a woman who never saw him as anything but someone she knew from long ago. She was his dream girl, he was just a past acquaintance to her.
I couldn't be that foolish woman. Michael is so beautiful.
In his mind they had something going on when in fact he never made her think twice. She wasn't playing him, she was unaware of him.
Exactly!
The Doobie Brothers and Michael Mc Donald were the GOAT back in the day. Blue eyed soul brothers for sure.
You might have heard: Listen To The Music, China Grove, Long Train Running, Taking It To The Streets, Blackwater. And other great hits.The Doobie Brothers are still playing 50 years later.
I’ve seen the Doobie Brothers live recently and they still sound just as great as ever!
All wonderful songs. Black water really is magical to hear at night!
Long train Running is my absolute favorite 🥰

I believe Tom Johnston was singing lead vocals on every one of those songs you mentioned. He left and Michael McDonald took over the lead vocals

Smart guy
And early guitarist for Steely Dan.

And he can roll a joint like no other 😂
This is another voice that can NOT be duplicated! Michael McDonald is phenomenal!!!❤❤❤❤❤
His voice was every where back in the day.
Thank you for saying that!! There is no race in music! It transcends all earthly boundaries.
Perfect reply! Have a great weekend 😊
And it didn't matter their sexual preference. Music can touch the soul
You need to check out China Road from the Doobie (yes, the bud) bruthas
I always felt like this song was about a guy who had a mad crush years ago, but it was one sided. They meet again and "She had a place in HIS life. He never made HER think twice."

Michael McDonald’s voice is so distinct that I think Johnston doesn’t get enough recognition, but the older songs are some of their best!
These guys were very GOOD musicians also, some of the best in the business.
Doobie Brothers..man those were the days 😊
If you like Michael McDonald's voice do listen to his duet with PattiLaBelle "On My Own", it cannot be described with words.Also with James Ingram "Yamo Be There".

Tom Johnston
Long Train Running, Taking It to the Streets, Minute By Minute, Black Water, You Belong to Me, and so many more.
The Doobie Brothers are massively talented!❤
I love Blackwater! Even at age 76 I'll get up and dance to that! ❤️
@@sandralybrand9425 Dance to your hearts content! I'm the reverse of your age (67).
You can't go wrong with the Doobie Brothers, they were it in the 70's, still are! HUGE!
The King of Blue Eyed Soul right here- Michael McDonald.
“ It Keeps You Running” from the same concert!
Won the Grammy Award in 1979 for best song of the year-it was on the air waves constantly-with good reason.-It's one of the best ever.
Doobie Brothers also sing "China Grove".......check it out.........LOVE ME SOME DOOBIE BROTHERS. Saw them on May 30, 1975.... Tampa Stadium.......Along with The Eagles, Seals and Croft, Charlie Daniels Band, Linda Ronstadt.....My first concert...........
The Doobie Brothers are awesome! We had an abundance of great bands back in the 70s! Listen to the Music, Long Train Running, and China Grove and Black Water also big hits for the Doobies.
The lead singer is Michael MacDonald from “I Keep Forgetting” (Regulate) 😊that you did the other week; did you know that!
I absolutely love this song
I love the Doobie Brothers, I grew up with them in college. When Michael McDonald went out on his own, I was thrilled!!
You've got to see their outdoor concert in La. It's unbelievable. Please please check it out
Its a live performance of a timeless classic.
Love this song so much!! His voice gives me goosebumps!beautiful ❤
You heard the lead singer, Michael McDonald a few days ago with Don. It was his solo song, I Keep Forgetting. Michael has a very unique voice. Hard not to recognize. You won’t be disappointed by The Doobie Brothers catalogue or Michael’s. Thanx. Love, from Oklahoma 🤍
PS-Give Simply Red a go, please. Begin with I Keep Holding On. Also Bobby Caldwell, What You Won’t Do For Love.
Doobie Brothers out of San José, Ca. That’s Michael McDonald on lead. The song is about a guy who believes that the girl has the same feelings for him that he’s had for her all these years. “She had a place in his life. He, never made her think twice.

One of my favourite songs it’s gorgeous.
It's going to be hilarious when you realize how many awesome songs this group put out and how many of them you probably know but didn't know it was them
Awesome song ❤ thanks
Michael McDonald singing with Patti Labelle…. On My Own…… is such an amazing duet…
Great song... all time classic.
You should see a show with all of them together!! They came together to make a reunion concert video with all the drummers, guitarists, organists and so forth!! ALL of them!! It was epic!! 🇺🇸💋😎👵🐺🌵✨💋💋💋
Two other Doobie Brothers songs I absolutely love...Give Me the Beat Boys (soulful) and Takin' It To the Streets (also soulful).
Exactly. Music is the universal language!!!!
This song is reminiscent of like a 20 yr high school reunion where a guy meets a former classmate that he had huge crush on. His memories are fantasies of the place she had in his life, when in reality she hardly knew him and barely even remembers him.
Listen, I grow up dorm this time and my mother was a huge Doobies fan. This band is something special and Michael McDonald is everything.
I believe the Mic's that were used, were the Sennheiser MD409 or the E409
Awe, Man… I adore The Doobie Brothers.
“But what a fool believes, he sees.
No wise man has the power to reason away.”
Such great & true lyrics.
LOVE the DOOBIES!!! ..and, again: YOU can "SPOT" Michael McDonald - ANYWHERE he sings....just such a UNIQUE VOICE... I know you enjoyed his "I Keep Forgetting", the other day!! DOOBIES have a LOT of GREAT TUNES!! ENJOY!!!
This song is 45 years old and still sounds fresh.
The microphones are even older, which is why you don't recognize them.
Love the Doobie Brothers ♥️ those of us who were fortunate to have our preteen & teen years in the 70s and young adulthood in the 80s with a booming economy DID have the best of all generations. We got to experience the growth of the music industry after the birth of Rock-n-Roll to what it was in the 60s, how it changed in the 70s living through Disco. And I don’t care what anyone says. I loved disco. There’s nothing better to dance to then disco. But the 70s gave us the best rock ‘n’ roll to now be known as classic rock ‘n’ roll. We had it all in music was every bit a part of it. There was something for however you were feeling. I loved the Pop, the oldies, the crooners Dean Martin Tom Jones, of course Elvis big Elvis fan😁 Big Hair Bands, we had it all.

She is not lying to him. He is trying to recreate an old relationship with her and deceiving himself that she will return to his life and that it's not really over. " No wise man has the power, to reason away, "
CCR, Doobies, Three Dog Night = ultra thick radio play catalogs back then, and into now.
YES!!! THANK YOU! despite the jaunty groove ad sick harmonies, it's actually a sad song about denial.
Get to listen to 'Takin it to the streets ' live.... great performance, great group!!!!
The Doobie Brothers was my first concert. It was July 12, 1979. The stage was covered in doobies from the fans throwing them onto the stage. One of the band members bent down, picked one up, and smoked it immediately. The whole arena was lighting up and smoking. Everywhere you looked, you could see the smoke through the lights.

They may not be related, but they Doobie brothers!!!
Seen them last year, Black Water ,Jesus is just alright,China Grove, there are so many great songs. Love the Doobie Brothers ❤🎶🎶 That's Michael McDonald this was in the 70's BP.
One of my favorites is Minute by Minute. That bass line is amazing.
Some of the most soulful songs by this group are: it keeps you runnin, real love, thank you love and taking it to the streets. Please and thank you!
HARMONIES❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥the real deal
I’m 61 and remember this being the album I got for my birthday one yr. I was around 12-13 . My first teen type party . We played the Doobie Brothers over and over 😊🦠💚🦠💚

I've heard this called the happiest sad song ever.
One of my favourites from my teenage years at the local pub disco
Taking it to the Streets! ❤❤❤ gotta listen to that one.
I love Michael McDonald’s voice, he sang “I Keep Forgetting “ that was sampled by Warren G.! He sounds nothing like Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees but they both made great music in the seventies, the songs is from 1978! The Doobie Brothers are an iconic group! They are not blood brothers! 🤦🏽♀️❤❤
My all time favourite Doobie Brothers song has to be “Long Train Running”
No autotune. Old school! Saw them live. So good
Love you going outside your box and finding other great music. Music ( all genres) has so much to offer. Keep digging bro, none of us have heard it all. Just us old cats have heard a little more.
Michael McDonald, from my hometown Ferguson Mo. , proud to say that
There are two types of mic, condenser (delicate used in studios) and dynamic (more rugged, used on stage). That mic looks a bit like a Sennheiser MD4 dynamic mic but not exactly. Who knows, you're going to have to look at historic dynamic mics from the mid 70's through mid 80's to find out for sure. And it is the second type of brother, the no relation type.
If you want to bop, there is nothing better than their Listen to the Music.
Michael McDonald is one of my favorite artists ever. His voice is unmistakable and everybody wanted Michael on their track. So many duets and features. I've seen Michael live and it is such a fun show. We stood the entire time dancing...everyone...it's impossible to sit still. He was headlining and Chaka Khan was on after him. It was amazing! He's a legend.
I saw the Doobie Brothers while in college - yet another great university-sponsored concert. Michael McDonald had recently joined them
The Doobie brothers had a long string of hits and southern rock sound before Michael joined them and brought this new keyboard sound and vocals to the group. This song was HUGE and so was the album Minute by Minute. great album. great songs.
Love these guys
If you want to see a husband & wife both playing stacked keyboards like that you should check out the Captain & Tennille - Love Will Keep Us Together. It was the biggest hit of 1975 and 1975 had a lot of big hits. She has a great soulful voice.
Ooooh! This takes me back to the roller rink! Nostalgia hurts sometimes. Michael MacDonald’s voice is ALL OVER the 70’s and 80’s like he owned them. And he did. So funky! Amazing voice!
The Doobies and the BeeGees fall under the same category. Blue-eyed soul. White boy Blue-eyed soul.
I am guessing that what you have missed is a LOT, after seeing your last few reactions. There is so much fabulous music from decades ago that you have to look forward to!! I loved how into this song you were- having your own personal groove party in your chair!! Appreciate that so much!! The Doobie Brothers were awesome way before people used the word awesome !!! Michel McDonald has a legendary voice - very recognizable. Look him up for his solo songs as well. See you soon.......🤓
I could listen to Michael McDonald sing all day long. He has one of the most super distinctive voices of the 80's.
Every song on their albums were hits! Michael McDonald also sang for other groups and later solo or in duets: jazz-rock!
Great reaction!
That smooth sound is sometimes called blue-eyed soul.
The song is about a guy that harbors fond memories of a romance from the past, but it's all in his head. She was nice to him, but he imagined it was more. He runs into her later in life, fondly reminiscing, but she doesn't recall it that way. She apologizes that she has to go, but he believes in the false idea he has anyway.
Gah!!! I can't even begin to express how much I love that u are checking out everything I grew up listening to!! Again, I could give u a list a mile long, but some of their more popular songs are China Grove, Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin', Black Water, Jesus is alright with me, & Takin' it to the streets! Michael Macdonald takes the lead on this song, but he has solo music as well! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, check out I Keep Forgettin! 🙏🙏🙏You will get a very nice surprise!! 😏
I definitely 2nd you checking out I Keep Forgettin!! 🙏🏼 It’s a great one w/ an even greater surprise!! ❤️🤩
@@BrookePS23I think he already did!
@@WitchelliB Yep… it was great! He checked it out after Chelsea left that comment! 🫶🏼
My favorites are from their earlier stuff - China Grove, Long Train Runnin’, Black Water, Jesus is Just Alright, Rockin’ Down the Highway ….
Listen to the music is my favorite and one you may have heard
Michael McDonald had a successful solo career after he left THE DOOBIE BROTHERS, he sang the theme song for a GREGORY HINES and BILLY CRYSTAL movie in the 80's, "RUNNING SCARED" / SWEET FREEDOM
Ah, Michael and that blue-eyed soul. Facts. He was on several Steely Dan tracks on background vocals. There's a great interview with him on how difficult it was to do those backing tracks for the Dan. Apparently, it was pretty intense.
Another great "brothers" band is The Bellamy Brothers " Just Let your Love Flow"
"If I Said You Have A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" "Old Hippies" "Lover's Live Longer"
They have a list of hit songs as long as your arm. And they are still going today.
Welcome down the rabbit hole. Michael McDonald has an amazing voice. Saw them last year and will be seeing them live again next month
Blackwater is their most memorable song. It may not be their best or most popular but its the song you don't forget.
This song was co-written by Michael Macdonald (singer) and Kenny Loggins (they both recorded versions). It’s about a guy who gets together with an ex that he completely blew it with and is still so clueless he thinks he still has a chance when she was clear he doesn’t. Professor of Rock has a great episode where he interviews Kenny Loggins (also a legend you might want to react to) about the writing of this song. Kenny and Micheal collab on the amazing This Is It, could Kenny Loggins to start with.
John Folgerty lead singer of CCR -Run through The Jungle
BP, you have an old soul.... I wish I could take you back to that time, it was wonderful compared to the BS we have to live in today. I never got off, The Love Train.
I think you reacted to this singer already - Michael McDonald (I Keep Forgetting, sampled on Regulators) who was in the Doobie Bros
The music of 60s and 70s can't be beat.
The Doobie Brothers were featured in a 70's sitcom called "What's Happening." The three lead characters were attempting to record a bootleg of their concert and they got busted by the band.
Long Train Runnin' is my favorite of theirs.
The lead singer is Michael McDonald! He sings. I keep forgettin, & also he has a hit with Pattie Labelle!
Saw the Doobie Brothers (Michael was there too) 2022. Great show.
Long Train Running is one of their greatest songs😊
