For over three decades millions of fans have been “Listening To The Music” of the Doobie Brothers, one of the most enduringly popular American bands in rock ‘n’ roll history. The Doobies got their start in the San Francisco Bay Area scene of the late 1960s, graduating from playing local clubs, biker hangouts, and hippie joints to concert stages worldwide. Their free-wheeling, melodic, harmony-heavy, guitar-driven music—fusing jazz, R&B, and more into an indelible rock-pop signature unleashed a string of hits including 16 Top 40 singles and 11multi-platinum albums.

The band went through several personnel changes, the most notable being cofounder Tom Johnston's exit in 1976 and pop/R&B singer/songwriter Michael McDonald joining to lead them through a more sophisticated and even more successful musical phase. The Doobies split up in 1982 but reunited in '88 with many original members, cut another Gold-certified album, and continued to rock down the highway.
