FIRST TIME HEARING Takin' It To The Streets- The Doobie Brothers 1976 REACTION

[@TheDivayenta]

“ You dont know me but I’m your brother- “ one of the greatest lines ever. Mike grew up in Ferguson, MO. He worshipped Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye.

[@cspringer333]

There are two Doobie Brothers. One with Michael and pre-Machael. They are both excellent but totally different. It just shows what great musicians these cats are to be able to switch styles so effortlessly.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

Yes, I do know about Black churches. I'm Jewish but when I was a kid our neighbors invited us to their church. I absolutely loved it. It was like a Rock concert. lol

[@ScribeCash]

The whole service is 80 percent concert 20 percent bible lol

[@waynec38]

@@ScribeCash Scribe,You have AWESOME TASTE! Doobies ALWAYS had Bangers...This Song Is NO EXCEPTION! For your AWESOME taste, YOU got my Loyalty,And My 966th Sub!!!

[@crazydale1000]

With modern music I sure miss a real bass guitar.The electronic stuff just doesn't cut it.

[@dantean]

Please take the chance to hear the original band (pre-Michael McDonald) whose hits include: Listen to the Music Jesus is Just Alright Long Train Running China Grove Black Water They were a different-sounding band originally, but the original leader--Tom Johnston--was a genius.

[@laurakali6522]

Who remembers when they were on the sitcom “What’s Happening? I know, I’m showing my age....but it was so awesome....

[@raymcarthur3870]

I remember that episode. I loved that show!

[@thegorn68]

Of course! Rerun got caught with a tape recorder trying to get a bootleg copy of the Doobie's concert. LOL!

[@mikek5958]

"Hey Hey Hey" I was just a kid but I remember!

[@preston175]

which doobie you be?

[@clemdane]

Yep I do

[@natecorning]

I Keep Forgettin - Michael McDonald. IMO its his best vocal performance, and was probably his most successful solo song

[@shawnk7832]

Cant find my way home

[@deanpetrell2468]

I even laughed the same way you did a couple of octaves lower. Scary

[@terrimobley6067]

My fave!

[@evilvolts]

Bands with a horn section like Chicago ]:P 25 or 6 to 4.

[@evilvolts]

Next you should do Black Water

[@aresee2003]

"I Keep Forgettin".......Michael McDonald funky solo HIT song!......(sampled in Warren G's song "Regulate")

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

Back in the 90s, I watched this Doobie Brothers retrospective on VH1 that finished with all 30 of the people who either were then or used to be members of this group, all playing together on "Listen to the Music" and it was fucking epic.

[@kentbriley2914]

Regardless of song, I fuckin love you, your reacts, and your 'if I was Tom MacDonald' - fuckin aces! Keep getting after it!

[@chrisa4695]

Check out Jesus is Just Alright With Me, China Grove, and Black Water.

If you like the Doobie Brothers taking you to Church, then you need to listen to 'Jesus is just Alright'.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

Michael McDonald sings lead on this one. Classic soulful voice.

[@russb24]

You might also recognize his voice as the background vocal on Steely Dan - "Peg"

[@kesleycottrell1416]

Michael McDonald was by far a great find for the Doobie Brothers. They had some good music before he joined the band. Michael took them to a whole different universe.

[@johnnygraz4712]

All their songs are fire, but this one is my fav. Especially relevant for the times we're living through.

[@paulrodgers5559]

" These times " aren't especially relevant to this song. Some of us have been at it forever.

[@johnnygraz4712]

[@russb24]

If you like all these bands, especially Chicago, check out Leonid and Friends. They're a Russian band who do amazing covers of all those hits.

[@dmCurator]

There's a ton of connections between the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. From the players to the r&b influence to the production value. Much to explore.

[@steveschilz237]

Excellent stuff. Try out Roxy Music, Rain, Rain, Rain. Think you will like.

[@sherribrock2726]

Black Water is a MUST BY the group!! Hey girl! There was a black church 2 houses away from me. I would sit on the front steps of my house. It was literally Taking it to the Streets!!

[@abevillanueva1974]

Listening to the Music, China Grove, Jesus is Just Alright, ....a WHOLE bunch to follow up!!

Before Michael McDonald joined the band, the Doobies introduced themselves with "Jesus is just all right with me". I'm an atheist, and I'm telling you, a GREAT song.

[@alansilverman8500]

You like funky music? -Check out "Hard to Handle" off the Grateful Dead's "Ladies and Gentlemen..." live show at the Fillmore East 4/28/71 YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!

That Gospel feel almost propels you off your feet. Hard to just sit there. Love it.

[@LOVE2BTHEONE]

Michael McDonald as a solo artist collaborated with other solo artists and created some great songs. Check out and react to these duets songs with, Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross & Michael McDonald, Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, James Ingram & Michael McDonald, Steely Dan & Michael McDonald. They won't disappoint.

All I can think about is Rerun dropping the cassette recorder

[@AW-yj6md]

Piano and organ, they're both in here,.the staple of church, Catholic Morman Tabernacle yess, Methodist, not sure about Lutheran, but probably, Presbyterian, and certainly, CERTAINLY in the Southern Baptist fire and brimstone!!!, sanctified, ..almost everybody in the 1970's, coming off the 60's used organ, its just lent that uplifting sound, even jazz artists, Jimmy Smith, keep going, enjoy!, Godspeed, Peace ✌

That was the first hit with Michael McDonald, if I'm correct. He popped up on a lot of Seventies artists' stuff.

[@cscook69]

Back in the mid late seventies, AM radio station KFRC in San Francisco, which was very popular ( in the days before FM took over ), had a night time spot they would do called ‘Takin’ it to the streets’ with this Doobie Brothers song playing in the background ( specifically the sax solo segment ). A priest from the local catholic archdiocese would host the thirty-second spot in which he spoke about various issues, such as getting help for drug addiction, homelessness, etc., offering words of inspiration, and information on how to get help. Anyway, every time I hear this song, I think of that radio spot.
