Remember this is from a generation of musicians where there was no auto-tune, no computers. You had to work in the studio until you got it right to the point where if somebody heard it live they couldn't tell the difference from the recording. Musicianship at its finest and we need to start going back to that

Saw Doobies in 1975 Long Beach Arena tickets 8.50 .They had played up and down the Calif. coast for a few years so not many people showed at our concert so the manager came out on stage and told all of us to move into the center rows front to back.. What a fun party gig that was. They were amazing! If you get a chance to see them on their present 50th Anniversary Tour, get there!! Peace. Rory in Indiana

The Doobie Brothers were great! I can hear a lot of Funky Meters and The Neville Brothers in their music. The Doobies spent a lot of time in New Orleans back in the 70s. They even named one of their albums "Toulouse Street" after a famous Street in the French Quarter.

The interesting thing about this song -- which is another gem from the Doobie Brothers hitmaking in the late 1970's, a new one every four months -- is that Michael is singing lyrics which are about half speed compared to the music bumping-along tempo. It's sort of hypnotic in that the blend works! It draws listeners in and gets their shoulders and hips bumping.

I believe Carly Simon recorded "It Keeps You Runnin" first and had her own hit with this song and then the Doobie Brothers did their own version with the song and had a hit as well. If you haven't explored Carly Simon yet, you should: "Haven't got Time for the Pain", "You're so Vain", "That's the Way I've always heard it should be", "Anticipation". Of course the Doobies have hits that weren't even radio hits, just great musicians with Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald in various eras of the Doobies.

@davidkilianek9168 Жыл бұрын

The Michael McDonald sound the Doobie Brothers incorporated in 1976 that changed the whole dynamics of the group from a Rock and Roll feel to a Pop sound throughput the rest of the 70s and into the early 80s.
