Lets give some love to The Doobie Brothers

I mean just for being on Whats Happening they get props over alot of groups, but if they came out today, the "talk" would be bunch of white guys trying to be black, same goes for Hall and Oates, that "hidden" racism and segregation that exits more now than ever

I don't know their entire repertoire, but I have to give them props on the stuff I've heard. "Blackwater" is on steady rotation in my iTunes library.

Flying Cloud by Tiran Porter is a nice short instrumental cut.

"What A Fool Believes" is one of the greatest songs of all time. Flawless.

True. "What A Fool Believes" and "Long Train Running" are my faves by them. I "Taking It To the Streets," too though.

Great band. They had a southern rock type vibe when Tom Johnston sang for them and by the end of the 70's they picked up a smooth R&B sound thanks to Micheal McDonald. But both eras of the Doobies were great.

That's a group that needs a boxset anthology.
