First Time Hearing THE DOOBIE BROTHERS - Jesus Is Just Alright (REACTION!!)

[@Howdyall]

Yes, Jesus is so much more than just alright. King of kings and Lord of lords. Name above all names.

[@DevilLos]

I agree. The title actually sounds kind of offensive. So I totally agree with you. He is much more than just all right. And he’s not just my friend he’s my Lord and Master and Savior. Praise Jesus.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

The Band wasn't expressing Jesus was mediocre. "Just Alright"..was common speech slang at the time. Different Decade..different speech. Rock Musicians in their particular Genre..at that time in history..were not charting Gospel Songs. They loved Jesus and found a way to express that.. into their music. Doobie Brother fans understand it was controversial..then. Only Gospel Song they ever wrote. But they reference him in other Tracks..as well.

[@leighsaldivar4439]

@@DevilLosI agree. It’s an expression. That’s all it is. They love him in my opinion. 😊

[@douglasshenfeld9844]

Hey. You can’t say they didn’t praise him.. 🙏

[@ShoreTime]

What?!?! I think you should not rush to judgement, you know, one of Jesus' biggest lessons to us. 🙄 "Just alright" was an expression in the 70s which meant you didn't care what anyone else said or did, whom/whatever was cool with you. Moreover, given their Gospel roots, thinking the Doobie Brothers were disrespectful to Jesus is ridiculous. Judgemental Christianity is the greatest force for atheism today. Keep up the good work.

[@updem]

Even as an atheist I've always loved this tune. The groove is undeniable.

[@bethdamndonahue]

DC Talk has a killer cover of this song.

[@remmymafia3889]

My favorite Doobie song- the breaks are insane, the lead guitar is off the charts- Doobies at their finest in my opinion.

[@Cheryltwin2012]

"Jesus, He's my friend"...more profound words have never been spoken. What a friend we have in Him! I recall this song came out when there had been a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit and a lot of secular bands were doing songs like this. This song still moves me!

[@edwardlburris6813]

JESUS! YES! Love your Love for Christ!!

[@davidmaholchic6146]

What a great song perfect for you you will love it love you

[@TheDivayenta]

Spirit In the Sky has the grooviest groove of them all by that nice Jewish goat farmer, Norman Greenbaum. 😊❤

[@jmelvin28]

Also they were afraid to debut this one at a festival because most of the crowd were drunk and partying bikers and the sort.but the front man basically kept his faith and the crowd went absolutely crazy at the end. Then they got baptized at a beach in San Jose as a Parr of the Jesus Revolution of the early 1970's. God's Love is something that changes you once you've experienced It. Hallelujah

[@petenrita]

nothing like the Doobies with Johnston and Simmons as the lead singers.

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

One of my favorite songs by the Dobbie Brothers! This group is awesome! ❤❤❤

[@CherylHughes-ts9jz]

The seventies were GREAT for music! 💃☮️💃

[@bkniker]

My favorite Doobie song.

[@lauraopper2571]

I like to imagine how many people were curious about Jesus after rocking along with this song. I think a lot of people were reached with it and had their lives changed.

[@yvonnesimmons8332]

The cool thing is in this time of music Styx, Kansas, Queen, The Doobie Brothers ……. They actually played their instruments NO COMPUTERS

[@TheDivayenta]

I went to high school with Pat Simmons- the one singing solo here. 😊He was already the guitar god of our school! And I got to jam with him!

[@idaduncan6260]

Thank you for loving Jesus

[@Almcingrid3663]

My son performed this as a surprise for me. Blew my mind!

[@marypearlhunt388]

Alright, speak the Truth brother! That's good talk ! 🙌🙌🙌💖

[@keepgrindingup7661]

JESUS, HE'S MY FRIEND... 10/10

[@byronmitchell3784]

DOOBIE BROTHERS, "JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT". THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THESE FANTASTIC TIMELESS VIBES. FROM "SPIRIT IN THE SKY", AND "JESUS CHRIST SUPESTAR", AND THE DOOBIE BROTHERS. THE MUSIC TRIED TO BRING HUMANITY ALL TOGETHER. SADLY POLITICIANS JUST DON'T GET IT. LOVE ALL THESE SONGS SANG 50 YEARS AGO. THANKS YOU TUBE FOR KEEPING THE GREATEST MUSIC MEMORIES ALIVE. AMEN, AND PEACE ✌.

[@spirosoikonomopoulos2651]

Listen to the music, Long train running, What a fool beleives, Taking it to the streets, China Grove, Minute by Minute and the list goes on!!!!! Fantastic group!!!!

[@anytimejammin-eva]

Can't wait! This is my twin brother's(rip) and mine fav jam since it was first released! My brother had even gotten a tattoo with that statement! Jesus is just alright with me. There was one correction tho. He had the tattoo guy put one thin line across the word just. Then had Always wrote beside it. RIP my bff, twin brother Art! Hope your jammin in Rock and Roll Heaven with all the greats! You were always carrying around your guitar, so I know you have it with you! LOL Thanks for the great song and memories Devin! BTW, I think the lyrics in the middle of the song is all YOU! Hope you enjoy!

[@melissagerber7231]

I watched that movie, the Jesus Revolution, with my friend, Ed. He said that it was about the church he goes to . I told him, " I like that man!" He may have been leery of the hippies at first, but, it looked like he had the right heart and spirit for his calling.

[@susislicker4259]

The Doobies ROCK! I love this band! This song is so great! Amen! 🙏🙏💙💙

[@proudarmymom8657]

Love the Doobie Brothers, they have a massive rabbit hole to go down they have a ton of hits!!

[@Shrykespeare]

"What a Fool Believes" should be your next one. Michael McDonald's voice is the bomb.

[@michaelasay8587]

@HORSE SIX ZERO dancing? This isn't disco, lol

[@tonycocchiola7192]

Michael Mcdonald did not make the Doobie Brothers.The Doobie Brothers made Michael Mcdonald.

[@edb6690]

He ruined the band until Tom Johnston came back.

[@dianawhite637]

Long train running! Amazing with the harmony and harmonica!💗🎶

[@lilpoohbear653]

thats right Devon,,,stick with Jesus..,.,He is the only faithful one...60 years old and I have truly tried it all!! My jam...yes sir!!!

Simply Amazing 🤩 thanks for the great and uplifting song Gibbster!! 🙏

[@kurules3072]

Wow I’m blown away by your knowledge of the gospel. You just gained a loyal follower

[@Smittay-Sr.]

"My Sweet Lord," by George Harrison, one of the original Beatles. To me falls right along with the Doobie Brothers song, "Jesus is Just Alright!"

[@Howdyall]

Just too bad that George was singing to hare krishna.

[@Smittay-Sr.]

@@Howdyall Actually about various religious leaders. Can take it for your own religion. Kind of take it as let's not fight each other, but appreciate the freedom having the right to worship.

[@oscarwilde6649]

@@Smittay-Sr. Spot on, Bryan. Ol' Faye is so tunnel-visioned that she didn't hear the plethora of other leaders/elements of other faiths that comprised the totality of George's mantras in the song. The Krishna refrain just appalled her so much that she couldn't sufficiently get back on the rails in order to absorb anything else in the song ltfol.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Don't forget Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum.

[@dawnasereneskies5713]

My pastors wife used to tell me, you shouldn't have to tell people you're a Christian. You should carry that glow and be the example. If you're walking the walk they will be drawn to you and to God.

[@melissagerber7231]

He had the right idea.

[@leighsaldivar4439]

The doobies have tons of hits. You will love them all.

Long Train Running And my favorite What a Fool Believes. Michael McDonald's voice I awesome. Nice Reaction. Thank you.

[@amandaaskew2721]

I grew up listening to the doobie brothers. My parents saw them in concert at least six times. One of their concerts that my parents went to, they introduced a song called black water. The radio stations in Roanoke, VA. caught on to the song and the rest is history. This was back in the 70’s way before social media was even though of. Please react to Black water, China Grove and clear as the driven snow. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

Great reaction to an incredible song!

[@x0539p]

Love this group and I really love Michael McDonald. He was everywhere in the 70’s and 80’s singing back up vocals on many famous artists songs. You need to go down the Rabbit Hole of this group with their song “What A Fool Believes” that they won a Grammy for in 1981 with Michael McDonald being the writer and lead singer. They sang at The Grammy’s and won that night.

[@beckyfox9477]

[@amydig63]

Hi Devin! Just wanted to let you know that Michael McDonald also sang background on Toto's "I'll Be Over You". He was the man with the full beard in the video.

[@douglasshenfeld9844]

Doobie Brothers were the shit! Long Train Running!

The Doobies had so much soul!

[@nadineammirato4978]

This was on the first album I received as a Christmas present with "Listen to the Music" being the big hit off of their album Toulouse Street. As Jesus said "Don't be afraid, just believe".

I am a major Doobie Brothers fan. Great singers, great musicians. You should dig into their music-you don’t be disappointed. I recommend Long Train Running and Black Water. Any of their songs. This one is close to me heart. Appreciate you!

[@denisemay6807]

Preach brothah!!!!

[@MrRdh567]

One of my fave songs by the Doobie Brothers. I like them with Michael McDonald, but I prefer the Tom Johnston era before Michael. Tom had to stop because he became so ill with stomach issues.

[@Tbone.357]

I'm not down with the lyrics like I once was but you can't deny the vibe and groove in this song 👍

[@michaelasay8587]

Devin....u groovy! Lol

[@thatfeeble-mindedboy]

If you like this, you MUST listen to “China Grove”. When I was in high school, any garage band would not have been taken seriously in the least way unless they could make a reasonable stab at China Grove, Smoke on the Water, and Sweet Home Alabama. They were just baseline, de rigeur, rite-of-passage type songs that were held as prerequisites for … well … everything else.

[@danbenest9032]

Two other Spiritual Rock songs to listen to- Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit in the Sky and Grand Funk Railroad’s I’m Your Captain.

This came out before Michael McDonald joined the band. He was not a founding member.

I love your channel. I am 72 and greatest pop song of all time is called THERE SHE GOES by the La’s in 1990. I would love you to listen to it 😊

[@StevesFunhouse]

Great reaction. This song reminds me of Norman Greenbaum's, Spirit In The Sky which you have already reacted to.

[@anytimejammin-eva]

How about that bluesy middle part! If that don't get the point across nothing will! The over the top guitar playing, the percussion! (I love the conga and drum beats 🪘 🥁) The keyboards were really taking it to church! Drop the mic! 🎤🎤🎤

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Devin, I cannot believe you've never listened to The Doobie Brothers before!! You need to just devote the next 8 - 12 videos to their songs! You are going to LOVE TDB!! Their music will lift you up and make you smile, sir! Do it! More Doobies!! Just go down the list from one of their "Best of" lists...you are going down a majorly awesome Rabbit hole!!

[@jmelvin28]

"Long Train Running" studio version or original radio. The Remix misses the bass intro either by mix or by removal.

[@tammycordrey9317]

Yaweh . Amen. Do you know that if you use all the vowels aeiou this is meant to be sung because when you hear it you clearly hear his name Yaweh is what you hear. I not kidding. It's stunning and glorious just as it should be because it is the name of God. Amen, Amen, Amen.

[@JUSTMAR1E]

There’s one old song called Jesus Christ Superstar sang by superstar. Back in my day we didn’t have lyrics and google so I never could get into the song. Maybe check it out with lyrics if there are any.

[@jmelvin28]

They were referring to just alright meaning that perfect high or physical pleasure vs faith and His Loving Grace. God trumps sin and Euphoria.

[@kathifielder1110]

Could you react to: Bobby Bear "Dropkick Me Jesus" (Unedited Version) (2:40) and Elvis and some of his group in an informal session: Elvis Presley Elvis On Tour 1972 Lighthouse, I, John, Lead Me, Guide Me (7:15).

[@rodneylewisboyd734]

Original by the Byrds I beleive.

[@debbieplato5107]

There was a great spiritual movement back in the 60's through the Hippie movement. My Sweet Lord by George Harrison is another song of that time. Another song which came much later I but I think you would like is Shine by Collective Soul. Cheers

Would you please do Mahalia Jackson - Precious Lord, Take My Hand. You will love her singing. Pick the video where she is singing live on stage in a long blue dress. You want regret it.
