I loved that Nick pointed out how close this is to Steely Dan. Two members of The Doobie Brothers recorded with Steely Dan. Michael McDonald did some backing vocals for them and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter was an actual member of Steely Dan on their first few albums. Also, I think there was just a sound several groups latched onto back around that time. So much good music. Both Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers were the soundtracks to my childhood. It’s always great to know people are keeping this music alive and introducing younger generations to it. So cool!

Michael McDonald is the vocalist and you hear his high harmonies in “Peg” and other Steely Dan songs. Plus, he shares the stage with Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs in that DVD I sent you called “The Dukes of September.” They take turns doing each other’s songs. They do “Peg” and “What a Fool Believes.” So you have it live. Of course, the guys are older (it’s from 2012, I think) but they sound pretty good (not at their peak, but pretty good). Great surprise reaction! ✨🤪

AND they had a terrific lead singer in Patrick Simmons. And he's dynamite, truly. But all those vocals - when you say "all six could be singing on this"... it's ALL Michael McDonald. And that's the most obvious link back to Steely Dan because he was arguably the best studio vocalist of his time. I was about 18 when I first tried singing along with McDonald vocals - DON'T DO IT! He's a freak of nature, and mere mortals could seriously hurt themselves trying to mimic him. With all that shade and tone and hue in his voice, no one realizes t just how high those lines go.

You've heard his voice before. He sings backing vocals on Steely Dan's Peg. So classy.

The Great Michael MacDonald from Ferguson, Missouri. Watched him in several local bands in the late 60's until he headed west for fame and fortune.

Michael Mcdonald. Enough to like very much. The guy is a legend, an unforgettable voice, present in many many songs out there.

There is so much great “yacht rock” music out there!! Little River Band comes to mind and the song “Reminiscing” comes to mind. ;)

Not only did Michael McDonald sing background vocals for Steely Dan, Cornellius Bumpus, their alto sax player also played for the Doobie Bros and ended his career with Steely Dan before passing in 2004.

The Doobie Brothers have a long list of hits that you should react to. All their music is very good. If you dig deep into the Doobies you will love all their stuff, I guarantee it. They were very much a part the LA scene in the 70's. Mas Doobies!!

They were their own thing. There were live bands in the clubs back then. They played Dobie Seals & Croft, War, Steeley Dan, Sly & the Family Stone. I graduated in 1971 and went into the Navy in 78 so between those years was when I was going to clubs to dance & listen to good tunes. One band at Rum Point Pub could play Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull. Some Crosby Stills Nash & Young too.

Nick, Lex - in the summer of 78, I was just earning my adulthood - developing my tastes in music and finding myself as a human being. What A Fool Believes was my soundtrack for that summer. I had already been the biggest Steely Dan fan (I held that crown until Nick came about). Every time it came on the radio, i would stand and dance, un-afraid of who might see me. So, hearing this tune with you guys is awesome. If yer willing to try another Doobies song, give Black Water a listen (and reaction video). Black Water is awesome. Love you guys, Ken
