How to continue after achieving your biggest success? For instance, The Doobie Brothers reconfigured themselves so often they were a different band by the time they released One Step Closer, the follow up to their blockbuster Minute By Minute. We need to say – Michael McDonald transformed the group into an entity that could function within the 80's, but the band seemed tired by then. Still, the tune on the link presented a possibility of a continuation, i.e. a version of a collective, where Cornelius Bumpus serves as a frontman. I think that development would've fit the way Michael McDonald showed, while one can also observe a potential in an even more soulful direction. Sadly, the collective disbanded afterwards, delegating the composition as a glimpse into what-could-have-been.

♫ China Grove ♫

I just played this one last June, but back by special request … According to Doobie Brothers singer/guitarist Tom Johnston … “The words were written last, and they were made up around this whole idea of this wacky little town with a sheriff that had a Samurai Sword and all that sort of thing. The funny thing was that I found out in 1975 in a cab in Houston that there really was a China Grove,…

REMEMBERING

KEITH KNUDSEN ON HIS BIRTHDAY

Song of the day:

What a Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers

(On their Album "Minute by Minute")

A song written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. The best-known version was recorded by The Doobie Brothers (with McDonald singing lead vocals) for their 1978 album Minute by Minute.

This song is about two lovers from long ago meeting again. One of them, the man, is still hoping there is some flame in the relationship, but the other, the woman, is only meeting up to be nice. In the meeting, he thinks there is still something there, but she just indulges him with a meeting and leaves, forever.

Apparently as a joke, Michael Jackson claimed in a videotaped phone conversation with Elizabeth Taylor in 2003 that he contributed at least one backing track to the original Doobie Brothers recording, but was not credited for having done so. Entertainment Tonight broadcast this claim with viewers being unaware that Jackson was joking. The band later denied his participation.

Musical Birthday Notes - February 18th

Musical Birthday Notes – February 18th

[mitjalovse]

What is a difference between a comeback LP and a turnaround one? One can notice the latter occur quite quickly, the musicians release them after an underwhelming disc for a course correction. For instance, The Doobie Brothers' Takin' It To The Streets happened soon after The Stampede, whose tour caused Tom Johnston to be sidelined thanks to the health. The group called Michael McDonald to ease the work for Mr. Johnston and the LP received some great notices. Of course, we all know the way these stories usually end up, i.e. either the replacement wins or the original does that. The Doobie Brothers eventually changed their sound thanks to Mr. McDonald, becoming another case of a successful frontman transplantation.

When I played Black Water by the Doobie Brothers a couple of nights ago, our friend Clive mentioned another song by that group, one that I wasn’t as familiar with.  Now, I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I hear a song for the first time, I hate it immediately, listen to the first minute or so, and that’s it for me.  Other times, I might kinda-sorta like it, but unless it’s sung by Stevie…
