Hello music fans. Well holidays are going great. It's so nice to get a break from work and just relax and regenerate the mind and body. Have you discovered a band that you have stuck with over the years and still listen to them. If so, drop a note in the comments, would like to hear from you. For me, that band would be The Doobie Brothers. They have been recording and performing for the last 5 decades and are popular with music fans of all ages. Here is some background info: The Doobie Brothers have carved out a legendary career in American rock music since forming in San Jose, California, in 1970. Here's a snapshot of their musical journey: • Founded by Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John Hartman, and Dave Shogren • Gained fame in the early '70s with hits like "Listen to the Music", "Long Train Runnin'", and "China Grove" • Known for their dual-lead guitars, tight vocal harmonies, and a blend of rock, folk, country, and R&B The Michael McDonald Era • In 1975, Michael McDonald joined, bringing a soulful, soft rock sound • This era produced the Grammy-winning "What a Fool Believes" and the chart-topping album Minute by Minute Breakups & Reunions • The band disbanded in 1982, then reunited in 1987 with Johnston returning • McDonald rejoined full-time in 2019, and the band has continued to tour and record Legacy & Recognition • Over 14 studio albums, with six reaching the Billboard Top 10 • Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 • Known for enduring hits like "Black Water" (their first #1), "Takin' It to the Streets", and "The Doctor" The Foo Fighters are celebrating their 30th anniversary with a new song released yesterday called "Today's Song". Listen to it on your favorite music sharing platform You will not be disappointed. They have been through a lot these past few years and are a welcome sound to these ears.
