The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band from San Jose, California renowned for their emphasis on vocal harmonies. They started out in 1970 with a hard rock sound incorporating folk music and rhythm and blues under the leadership of Tom Johnston, when the constant touring and Johnston's own health problems were proving an issue for the band after 1975. Johnston ultimately had to leave the band to pursue a solo career in 1977, with former Steely Dan keyboardist Michael McDonald taking the reins. A year later the band released their biggest single: "What a Fool Believes". The corresponding album Minute by Minute had proven to be a Tough Act to Follow, since 1980's One Step Closer had underwhelmed and received far less airplay compared to the previous album's output.In 1982, the band had called it quits, only to regroup five years later with Johnston returning to the lineup. They have been a popular touring act since then, with venues quickly selling out the moment the band regrouped. In time for the band's fiftieth anniversary, they got inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. They had announced a 50th anniversary tour in 2019, only to see it delayed by COVID-19, with an official lineup of Patrick Simmons (the only member present in all of the band's incarnations), Johnston, longtime guitarist John McFee, and McDonald. This lineup has since announced it will release a new studio album in 2024. | |

New Sound Album | |
| The Doobie Brothers (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Michael McDonald as the new lead singer took the band in a more soul and Jazz Fusion-influenced Soft Rock direction, and these changes first became apparent on Takin' It to the Streets, and cemented on Minute by Minute after Tom Johnston had to leave for health reasons. | |

Revolving Door Band | |
| The Doobie Brothers (Music) / int_5033694a | comment |
Revolving Door Band: Infamous for this; the only member to stay for the entire time is Patrick Simmons, with Tom Johnston taking a brief hiatus for health reasons in the late 70's. They cycle through touring members quite a bit, the number of principal members that recorded studio albums is a staggering 14, and even the number of members included in the band's Hall of Fame induction is 9. | |

Break Up Song: "What a Fool Believes," with the bitter twist that the man is trying to pretend it's not over. | |
