Nice to see a young woman enjoy my generation’s music.

[@magneto7930]

Absolutely, same here.

[@tedcole9936]

Yes, yes. YES! Back in 1975, this was a jukebox favorite - everyone in the bar would spontaneously start singing the different vocal parts when it broke down to the acapella rounds. One of the very top happiest memories of my college years... EVERYONE bounced with this one! Great reaction, Angela... Knew you would love this (like everyone else does!!)

[@dalesouders4136]

Can’t go wrong with the Doobie Bros. They ROCK! 🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼

[@qthelost]

Their first #1 hit. It was written and sung by guitarist Patrick Simmons. He sometimes gets overlooked because he's in a band that has also featured singer/songwriters Tom Johnston and Micheal McDonald.

[@owenbb505]

Just a flat out perfect song to have on while sitting by a river on a lazy hazy hot summer Saturday afternoon, when the sky is a mix of orange and pink. Can't go wrong, great reaction as always Angela, love your expression when the music faded out and in during those harmonies! 🧡

[@glassontherocks]

A Doobie a day keeps the Dr. away.

[@scottfarnsworth9727]

Absolutely right

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

​@@scottfarnsworth9727I spark to that!

[@lorimoore1584]

Amen!

[@QwarkE1]

lmao misread that' thought it said a doobie a a day kept a Dre away

[@glassontherocks]

@@QwarkE1 No I didn't.

[@richardconnolly4835]

This song is so atmospheric. From the wind chimes at the beginning to the fiddle, to the accapella singing (almost church - like) you can close your eyes and see the Spanish moss hanging from the trees. It exudes the South.

[@DayOneReacts]

Yes, I forgot to mention the Wind chimes! Loved that accent.

[@fredkrissman6527]

THIS song was the Doobies first #1 hit, way before the Michael McDonald era of the band Angela... As per wiki, personnel on the song were: Patrick Simmons - composer, acoustic guitars, lead vocals Tom Johnston - backing vocals[23] Tiran Porter - bass guitar, backing vocals Keith Knudsen - backing vocals, dubbed-in drums John Hartman - drums Novi Novog - viola Arlo Guthrie - autoharp, wind chimes Ted Templeman - producer Try ChinaGrove for another early Doobies vibe tune!

[@kbrewski1]

McDonald joined the Doobie Brothers in 1975, shortly after this song came out. So not "way before".

[@fredkrissman6527]

Thanx for the vital clarification,@@kbrewski1! 🥴

[@kbrewski1]

@fredkrissman6527 Its only "vital" if you care about accurate facts. Something that seems less and less important to most people nowadays.

[@eric7922]

one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever conceived...a tonic it is...

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Angela, The Doobie Brothers are absolutely musical "LIVING LEGENDS!!!" Great reaction too my friend!!!

[@abevillanueva1974]

These bruddahs are still kicking it today! Just saw them here in Hawaii a few months ago!! Just one of the BEST groups of the GREATEST decade of music...1970s!!🤙

[@kdogusna77]

The a cappella chorus at the end was a favorite warm up for our glee club at the US Naval Academy.

[@cdfdesantis699]

My fave Doobies song, just a masterpiece! Many folks like the Doobies during the Michael MacDonald era. It seemed, though, more like the Doobies just became Michael's back-up band, their identity being absorbed by Michael. Thanks for your reaction.

[@patticampana9458]

You are adorable. Nice to see young people appreciating this music. You go girl!✌️

[@dalesouders4136]

A staple during my high school days. Sept ‘74 - June ‘78.

[@jamesgeorge5276]

I love your high school time line 9/74 - 6/78 because all the songs that came out during that time Reminds you of your high school days. Just like my high school time line was 9/78 - 6/82, all the songs from that period instantly takes me back in time to my high school days beginning in the summer of 1978! The 70s was in my Opinion the best decade for music hands down!! Wow those were and forever will be treasured memories!😊

[@davidaquarius9089]

Back in 1978, in college, we sponsored the Doobies at WSU (Washington State) As part of the committee that put the band on, I got to meet them as they set up. Even partook of some herbal refreshment with the road crew and a couple of the band members! I have always been a great fan of the Doobs and will continue to be until I'm pushing up daisies. They are still touring today with some of the original band members, including on occasion, Michael. Thanks for your delightful reaction, Angela. It does this old hippie's heart good to see some of the younger folks appreciating the good stuff of the 70's. Blessings!

[@l8nightr]

I saw the Doobies as well at WSU ( Wichita State University ) back in 1976 when I was 11 years old. First concert! Been to a lot of concerts since, but none of the other venues were as reefer smoked out as that one, lol

[@gary2kr1]

I've always felt if the world got together for a barbecue and had the Doobie brothers playing we could solve most of our problems

[@MrCubswin1]

A beautiful woman enjoying beautiful music. I guess it does not get any better.

[@robertfindley921]

A unique song, for then or today I'm surprised, but glad you like it. Great Doobie tune.

[@georgedolen1486]

"Black Water" was the B side to the single "Another Park Another Sunday". The radio DJs stopped playing Another Park Another Sunday because of the line "the radio just seems to bring me down" so they flipped it over and played Black Water instead and it went to number one.

[@dougallen8305]

Yes. After "Long Train Running" this song is must hear for the Doobies. Thank you.

[@UberDurable]

The Doobie Brothers never stop to amaze me!

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Hell, even the country stations put this song in thier rotation..the violin/ countryfied feel was too hard to resist. Your comments on thier versatility was spot-on..they crossed over into so many genres ya really couldn't put a name to thier music..just good time stuff people of every race and age can't help but like, 50 years later and 50 years from now.

[@ballsyrocker]

Saw the original Doobies live at Long Beach Arena , Calif. back in 1975 ( a few weeks after I saw Led Zeppelin there). There was a permamant huge mirror ball in the center of the domed ceiling of the arena. I and my woman were down about 8 rows center from the stage and during this song, the house lights were turned way down ,and spot lights were shown on the many mirrors on the ceiling ball that made the arena seem to rotate ,even though it was the ball that rotated the pencil thin light spot reflections around the arena walls and upper audience. It was really a great concert for only about $10.50. Ahh I lived during some amazing rock concerts. I am 74 and wouldn't trade my experiences for anything that happens today.

[@roncypert8255]

The Doobies are one of those bands I always have time for!!

[@rikardo1070]

GOOD Fer YOU !!!!!!!!! love from us old guys

[@alanhope1190]

The pre-McDonald era of The Doobie Brothers is by far the best of their time.

[@daledodson1279]

Love the look on your face when the Doobies are going through their vocal gymnastics! ❤

[@mephestopheles71]

By far my favorite reaction thus far! I love this song and I TRULY love your take on it.

[@sylvanaire]

I have to admit to being quite sheltered growing up & didn’t know what a “doobie” was until rather recently (I’m 63!). 🥴🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😄 It’s still not the 1st thing I think of when I hear the Doobie Brothers name, lol. And you’re right: the a capella section in the middle is FIRE!

[@ericbrecht9473]

That ending is pure gold!

[@danielbenincasa770]

Boy I had alot of favorite bands. This is truly one of them and I saw live in the 70's. F'in good!

[@keepgrindingup7661]

I love the pure joy in your face it reminds me of the first time I heard this song

[@kenrutherford1109]

I love the a cappella part and I especially love how different vocals come out of both the left and right channels

[@billgatt7816]

I love there music another song that I live is Jesus is just alright with me

[@charlenevasquez1999]

Great song!!

[@allendesalme197]

Iconic song - one of the ones I could not get out of my head when I heard it back when. What a hook!!!

[@screwyou341]

Doobie brothers was one of the best

[@quicktastic]

Chicago transformed their sound as well after Terry Kath's passing. Although it led to their breaking apart. The Doobie Brothers had their internal issues as well with the change. Wonderful reaction. Love to see the excitement to great music.

[@oldmanghost219]

I began to lose interest with Chicago as they changed. I do like some of the power ballads they went to but they were never quite the same

[@quicktastic]

@@oldmanghost219 Same here. Cetera wanted to do his thing and he was good at it, but it just didn't fit the classic Chicago sound.

[@destination22ful]

Great reaction. Imagine sitting on the back porch of a house in the south in the early evening in July. This is what you hear drifting across the field. Nice. Thanks.

[@gazoontight]

Way back in the 1970s I was watching some local newsmagazine type TV show. The Doobie Brothers were playing in the city that night and she was talking with them. She actually asked where they got the name Doobie Brothers. One of them told her that they got it from the old Romper Room children's program, Do Be a ... Don't Be a ..." She believed it!

[@Bill-1370]

I saw the Doobie Brothers along with Stephen Stills and Pablo Cruse in Sigonella Sicily at the Naval Air Station during a USO tour in 1986. Great show.

[@markproffitt4935]

When I saw what you were reacting to I knew you would love this song. I've loved this song for over 45 years. It's one of those songs that never gets old. And each time you hear it, it's on repeat in your head the rest of the day.

[@user-uh3nn9sm1j]

Heard these guys with Steve Miller band at Red Rocks!! Loved this since college!

[@davidcollver6155]

My mother worked at TC3 Upstate New York when this came out. At the time the campus only had one building it was mainly all wide open spaces exterior walls were all glass, in certain parts of the building they would have the music piped into it. Where moms cubicle was, it was right underneath one of the speakers and this song came out amongst many other popular songs of the day . And it just turned out to be one of her favorite rock songs as far as that genre goes..

[@scottyhotty1003]

What an Awesome song & pick!! One of my absolute faves!! 🎶🔥♥️ This channel needs a heavy heavy dose of CLASSICS like this musically!!!

[@larryg.6512]

One of my favorite songs. Saw them do this live pre-Michael McDonald era. One of my favorite groups of all time especially those early years. P.S.-Was it the word “fusion” you were looking for to describe their later years?

[@mikepetrimoulx933]

This was a great song of my youth, I was 11 and it was amazing

[@user-dr4bg7bc3y]

Angela try China Grove by them the song is a rock classic

[@pamagnolia]

Fabulous song! Have always enjoyed it since it was released while I was stationed on Okinawa in 75! Nice memory. So glad you liked this!!

[@troysilvester5791]

You are really becoming an expert! Just enhances my feeling that you are the class of the field in the REACTION vids! Great job!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This came out when I was a little kid and I loved it right away and always looked forward to when it would come on the radio again. It still sounds great today. I also loved the rocker that they did, China Grove. But no matter what, they always seem to have a bit of funk to whatever they're doing and definitely a lot of soul. Fun reaction.

[@kevincaulder20]

Another song with a wicked cadence at the songs end is BOONDOCKS by Little Big Town. That song will have clapping your hands and stamping your feet. Just because it makes you feel so good. Enjoy

[@terrancehawee8260]

This is a kick back song to relax to 😊

[@jrsinsf]

Such a great song! Glad you liked it

[@aandpman]

It's such a happy song. Loved it since It came out. I was 12. lol

[@colibri1]

I was in fourth grade when this song came out and it was my teacher's favorite song.

[@TonyM1961]

My absolute favorite song by Doobies. China Grove is a real close second though

[@Joseph-bq4xv]

You Rock Woman!!!😊😉😎🤘

[@jimwilsky2922]

As always...a great reaction. There was nobody that really had the sound and style of the Doobies. Loved 'em. So good. Thanks for bringing this one.

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Classic, love the Doobies. I totally prefer this era of the band. Could I request you react to Need Your Love by Cheap Trick? Cheers!

[@PutGodFirst21121]

Awesome. I absolutely loved watching your reaction to hearing this great song for the first time. You made me smile :)

[@Harpo.jr70]

This is the best Doobie Brothers era for me.

[@brucesantacory1390]

Angela if you like this you should watch the version they did during Covid members of the Doobies in different parts of the country doing this song it's amazing.

[@oldmanghost219]

Black Water ! Great song. I saw them in concert and they had the Memphis horns for the end of this song. They had no special effects like other bands but they made me want to get up and dance and I don't dance. They had just gotten Jeff (Skunk) Baxter but not yet Micheal McDonald. It is also memorable because I had just reconnected with a cousin and we went together. It was the last time i saw him before he died a month later.

[@davids2096]

This is one of their best! They are from San Jose CA, but this is a Southern Rock song! Maybe 🤔 even Swamp Rock! That Fiddle is pretty prominent in this tune also! It's a masterpiece in my opinion! Later 😺🐈 cats!

[@johncooper8839]

Black water, the big muddy, were just some names for the Mississippi river.

[@johnharkness7114]

You have crazy good memory, girl

[@willfromyadkinville]

CHA CHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i knew you would love it so i had to edit to add this!

[@joeyboedeker2047]

Great tune!!❤❤❤❤ Very laid back!!

[@samuelgates5935]

I love this song 🥰🥰

[@paulwalker9421]

Great song! Thank you

[@edwardgriffiths2376]

Another legend song Angela Yea you the best and the 70s easily the best👍👻🤠

[@extracaliber432]

The Captain and Me album is a good one, Clear as the Driven Snow is a hidden gem.

[@glenngotling657]

Doobie's have a lot of songs I like but this one is my favorite.

[@BoltManiac]

I was waiting for the L/R stereo effects to kick in! I knew that would flip you!

[@kenrutherford1109]

I love this song and I love you too

[@kbrewski1]

Love your cute sexy dancing pretty girl! Yes, this song was huge in 1974-75. One of the Doobie Brothers greatest hits. I remember this song all over the radio when it came out when I was a freshman in HS. You'd think hearing this band they would be from the South, like maybe the Mississippi River delta in Louisiana. But most of this band was from the SanJose CA area. You are correct, they had a knack for playing rootsy countryish Americana tunes in addition to straight ahead rock. If you haven't already, I would highly recommend reacting to South City Midnight Lady, Black Eyed Cajun Woman, and Natural Thing from Captain and Me album. 😉😊

[@TheMikeman1971]

My fav song from these dudes! When i listen to this it makes me feel like im from there too!

[@patticampana9458]

Michael Mcdonald had such a good voice also. Love the Doobies✌️

[@patticampana9458]

Yes! I rember that in the movie!

[@williamcabell142]

This is the Good Doobies before Mic McDonald! It wasn’t the Doobies anymore, he made them his back up band! I just have to tell you how pretty you are, that hair is absolutely beautiful! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@glennblackledge8021]

Angela, catfish don't jump. Keep being you. ❤

'Daughters of the Sea" great song from the same album

Thanks, I was thinking about this song just yesterday.

Wow the Doobies early days always brings back memories of elementary school for me.

This is one of my favorite tunes by The Doobie Brothers

[@robertstoner8244]

Great great song ❤

[@michaelhayes7471]

That's my favorite Doobie song glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesberlo4298]

I was a15 year old living in a Housing Project in Boston during the Summer , life was so awful and we were so poor when this came out, it was like an escape. The 60's & 70's were so amazing, it was like every Week New Music came out and it was non stop.

[@densildodson2205]

song- key largo by bertie higgins

[@oldmanghost219]

LOL I guess you Know that Jeff Baxter and Micheal McDonald were from Steely Dan. Both great musicians.

[@richardnoggin1904]

I could tell you loved it - first stank face I've seen you do!

[@joeybee1914]

Beautiful Angela ❤

[@oldmanghost219]

Great reaction! Of all of the concerts I went to in the mid 70's, There were two bands bands that just made you want to get up and dance through out the concert. No special effects. Just them Playing their music. The Doobies #1 and then Bachman Turner Overdrive came close. .

[@christopherhuot2826]

You can't help but tap your foot to this classic 😅😊

[@Perromedic0]

Smokin Doobies!
