The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in 1970 in San Jose, California.

The Doobie Brothers:

Formation and Early Years: The band was founded by Tom Johnston (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Simmons (guitar, vocals). They initially gained popularity in the early 1970s with their blend of rock, pop, R&B, and country.
Breakthrough: Their self-titled debut album was released in 1971, but it was their third album, "The Captain and Me" (1973), that brought them mainstream success with hits like "Long Train Runnin'" and "China Grove."
Lineup Changes and Evolution: In the mid-1970s, following health issues affecting Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald joined the band, bringing a soulful, blue-eyed soul style which shifted the band's sound. This era produced hits like "Takin' It to the Streets," "What a Fool Believes," and "Minute by Minute," the latter two earning multiple Grammy Awards.
Hiatus and Reunion: The original band members reunited in 1987 for "Cycles," but it wasn't until the 1990s that they started touring regularly again, often with various original members and occasional guest appearances by McDonald.
Legacy and Influence: The Doobie Brothers have continued to perform and tour into the 21st century, maintaining a significant fan base. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, recognizing their lasting impact on rock music with over 48 million albums sold worldwide.
Music Style: Known for their tight harmonies, guitar work, and later, McDonald's distinctive voice and keyboard skills, the Doobie Brothers have a catalog that spans rock, pop, and R&B, appealing to a wide audience over decades.

The Doobie Brothers remain a pivotal band in the history of American rock, admired for their diverse musical journey and enduring hits.
