The Doobie Brothers were a rock outfit out of San Jose, California. Tom Johnston led the band from 1970 to 1975, until Michael McDonald took over and thusly changed the band’s sound with influences of soul. They eventually broke up in 1982.

But even after, they continued to tour and still do as of 2018. The Doobie Brothers encouraged us to “Listen to the Music” and we did. When it came to their hits, “Black Water,” “Jesus Is Just Alright,” and “Long Train Runnin” are some favorites.
