BEAUTIFUL VOICE😱|The Doobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes (Official Music Video)(REACTION!!!)

[@Briangreen701]

White boy sounding like a brother,he fooled a lot a people.He was gifted that voice for sure.

[@clivem.791]

Micheal McDonald is just simply a brilliant vocalist.

[@cog4life]

Capital B indeed

[@Kim-hc5si]

Yep. That’s the face one makes when Michael McDonald’s laying it down. ❤️

[@marcieharreld286]

Michael McDonald has one of the most distinctive voices in music history!!!! With The Doobie Brothers and solo!!!! Not all brothers....just "doobie" brothers!!!🤣🤣🤣🤟🎶🎵🎼💜

[@sunshinefogleman127]

This is live, no autotune, just pure heart and raw talent.

[@grae7571]

I never knew the singer here was white. Most of this music I heard growing up was on the radio (no videos). I love how music breaks boundaries & brings people together.

[@CharCanuck14]

More great Doobies - Takin' It To The Streets, China Grove, Black Water, Long Train Running.....I could go on and on :-) FYI - What a Fool Believes won 2 Grammys in 1980 for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. None of them are related. Thanks so much for delving into this Twon!

[@bonya4585]

“I Keep Forgetting We’re Not in Love Anymore” Michael McDonald with Doobie Brothers. Stunner

[@skincarver1797]

It takes some serious skills to play the piano, synthesizer and sing at the same time.

[@nancygoodnough279]

The Doobie Brothers were a different group with Michael McDonald singing lead. The original singer left with voice problems and McDonald stepped in. The original group has a completely different but no less great sound. Their earlier works are more rock and roll. I like them both ways.

[@jamomathews9890]

Glad you're feeling the old school blue eyed soul. Mike is a bad boy.

[@shirleytreumuth1692]

This was called blue eyed soul.

[@KevinStriker]

The hardcore fans get so uptight about liking one incarnation of the band over the other, but I hear so much funk in the Doobies' music during both eras, man. ("Jesus Is Just Alright", "Long Train Runnin", "Black Water") They always wore that influence on their sleeves.

[@marcusrobinson-Live4Love]

Keep Forgetting…. Is a Banger

[@estills4768]

Doobie Brothers "Black Water" is awesome. Has a serious funk to it.

[@leec8034]

The name Doobie Brothers is a reference to those "funny" cigarettes:) For real, that's where their name came from.

[@user-vq3kw3ze3f]

Doobie Brothers are legends. One of the best live bands of all time.

[@johnmcclintock8004]

Yea man..We're ALL blown away by Michael McDonald's voice, including Steve Perry..You missed the 70's as they happened, but I'm glad you FINALLY heard this man's voice !

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

Blue eyed soul brothers and one black brother. Back folks like rock music too.

[@hampyonce]

The guitarist, sitting down, yellow shirt, is a literal rocket scientist, on the side. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.

[@viacrucis2509]

All singers on the Doobies are great. For more Michael. "TAKIN IT TO THE STREETS"

[@edwardrodriguez8295]

McDonald does a great duet with Patti Labelle, please react to it, "On My Own".

[@mochyncochyn9113]

Can't be bettered - a stunning song 😀

[@Keyur-Suthar]

Now that is a great song

[@rullmourn1142]

That guy just sitting back in the chair strumming his guitar is Jeffrey Allen "Skunk" Baxter. Hes an American guitarist, known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s and Spirit in the 1980s. More recently, he has worked as a defense consultant and chaired a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense. Backed by several influential Capitol Hill lawmakers, Baxter received a series of security clearances, so he could work with classified information.

[@baddog4176]

Amazing harmonies without auto tune. Music brings us all together as brothers.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

.that is Michael Mc Donald singing lead. He was a part pf the group before he went solo.

[@stevengarrett2758]

Doobie Brothers one of our great all time bands. . Many songs to choose from.

[@theConquerersMama]

The whole band is incredible.

[@stevi-h7c]

Thank you for playing this beautiful track ❤

[@anitapaulus937]

Try Minute by Minute, Takin it to the Streets, and Micheal McDonald did a song called I Keep Forgetting that really good.

[@christinawoolley6206]

Oh.....I'm a NorCal girl and these talented souls are from SF....the lovely city by the bay. 💘

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

Well hello my Norcal friend 🙋‍♀️ The city by the bay. I’m north of Sacramento.

[@ivyvines6708]

It never ceases to amaze me how a lot of young folks today are just discovering the knowledge about a lot of singers (and groups) who were and are crazy, off the chart great, talented performers. Nevertheless, I'm glad that there are openminded young people like yourself who are still willing to check out the music that was going on back in the day, and appreciating it for how great it was. Thank you Twon. ;-) ;-) ;-)

[@sarahbeach4849]

YES, that is Michael McDonald Face!! You nailed it. Brilliant reaction.

[@GovernorSilver]

Tiran Porter GOAT bassist for the Doobies. Dee asked him "Are you a half brother?" in that What's Happening episode. but seriously he played so many iconic bass lines for the Doobies

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Michael McDonald sang as backing vocalist in... This Is It w/Kenny Loggins, Run Like the Wind w/Christopher Cross, Yah Mo B There w/James Ingram, On My Own w/Patti LaBelle. I'll Be Over You w/Toto. Michael McDonald has his signature song I Keep Forgetting, sampled by Nate Dogg in Regulator. 🎹

[@daniellemurphy9755]

They won a Grammy for this song

[@carolekelley23]

A genius piece of music

[@mogznwaz]

Michael Macdonald also does iconic backing vocals on 'Peg' by Steely Dan

[@paulmeyers7953]

Michael McDonald's voice is pristine. It's a pleasure to listen to a man blessed with such a powerful, passionate voice. Check out The Doobie Brothers "Minute by Minute". Just another beautiful performance by Mr. McDonald. I like your videos a lot. You keep making them, I'll keep waiting them. Thank you much.

[@tomtrahan8485]

I've been asking everybody for more Doobie Brothers. Smooth Rock, Please check out Doobie Brothers "Long Train Running" - "Listen to the Music" - "China Grove" - "Taking it to the streets"...... Great Harmonies, Guitars,

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

Listen to the music 🎶 ❤️👏

[@CrisNunya]

"Smooth rock" really nails it. For sure, it's not pop.

[@diannebleacher6156]

The last concert I went to…the summer before Covid…was the Doobie Brothers opening for Santana. Talk about the whole place rocking…and rock we did…all night long…it was phenomenal!!!

[@BigPete44]

#NoLimitNation Great band. “Long Train Running” is a good one. ✊💯

[@AK00777]

YES THIS 👆👆

[@cassyclim8]

Yes Michael McDonald’s voice slaps!! Real hard!

[@redindenver6666]

Michael McDonald's voice is SOOOO good -- so smooth. His tone is amazing. He made the bands he fronted better than they had been.

[@stevenharris716]

Hell yeah... Michael McDonald! One thing I would have loved to have heard would be a duet with him & Smokey Robinson back in their prime! That would be pure magic...

[@benjiedrollinger990]

Doobies are 100% awesome!

[@tammystoltzfus112]

You are discovering some GREAT music !!!!!!!

[@danadalton8843]

....and this is a live recording. They killed it on vocals. 'It Keeps you Running ' live.....omg.

[@martinsmusic1724]

Very diverse styles - check out Black Water and Long Train Runnin'

[@carolking1502]

Your FACE!!! So fun to watch. Whatever woman is in your life is lucky, because she'll always know exactly what you're feeling!😁

[@davewhitlow2984]

"Jesus is Just Alright" & "Takin' it to the Street". Two of my favorite songs during that time as "What a Fool Believes" and Earth Wind a& Fire's "September". Those two saturated the radio for good reason.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS "CHINA GROVE",, "TAKING IT TO THE STREETS",, "MINUTE BY MINUTE",, "LONG TRAIN RUNNIN'" & "LISTEN TO THE MUSIC"

[@christinerobinson548]

This the great Michael McDonald. A sought after back up singer, he joined the Doobie Brothers when their lead singer became to ill to tour. McDonald filled in for several years, had a great influence on the band and changed the direction of their music. The great ending to this story is that when the original lead singer was well again, he was welcomed back and both continued in the band. As far as I know none were actually brothers, it's just the name. You can hear McDonald doing back up with Steely Dan and other groups.

[@Godlygirl38]

Black water is great. Doobie brothers is amazing

[@davidpost428]

Love their high voices - many great songs by them!

[@sunshyne8539]

Michael - One of the best vocals ever.

[@benjismith593]

I had this song played at my dad's funeral. He loved the band, and looked like Michael McDonald (the guy singing) when he was younger.

[@stellamartinez6636]

Taking it to the Street

[@mogznwaz]

Brilliant song, brilliant voice.

[@katherinebosse5706]

Magic! Thank you for letting me hear this for the first time again! Can you be my music man Twon? We’ll hitch a ride on the magical mystery tour together! And we can love all of them..Perry, McDonald, Stapleton, Harrison...all of them! Can you hear “Desert Rose” by Sting with me? Always, Peace and Love

[@nicholasferrara9227]

Forget the Doobies, Michael McDonald is out on his own. The most precious voice on this planet!

[@p.informatico1320]

I prefer the doobie brothers without Michael McDonald, than Michael McDonald solo career, sincerely...

[@CrisNunya]

I love the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald on his own equally. Pure magic ❤ SO reminds me of the many summer vacations in the 70s as a teenager staying in Wellfleet: sand, sun, ocean breeze, grilling outside, and day trips to P-Town: jewelry shopping, art galleries, fresh deep-fried shrimp and scallops, with homemade onion rings, topped off with soft-serve vanilla & chocolate swirled, dune buggie ride tours, whale watching boat rides off Martha's Vineyard ... so carefree and feeling peaceful, enjoying family and meeting people along the way. Ohhh the memories a song can bring back 100%

[@cathyhall1350]

And FYI.. Santana is a multi-racial band! Check out Woodstock, Santana's Soul Sacrifice. 🎸✌️💙🎼

[@jonmayes2422]

It makes me so happy to see you learn what real Singing and music is all about

[@chrisrodenbeck6327]

No auto tune to help performers back in the day. Of course Michael did not need it. What a performer.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

MICHAEL MCDONALD IS A VOCAL ICON...A MUST HEAR,, MICHAEL MCDONALD "I KEEP FORGETTIN'"..TRUST ME!!!

[@jscottburnside1]

Michael McDonald is the singer, had a great solo and backup singer career. He is str8 🔥

[@bigworldddd9566]

Must check out Michael McDonald and the late, great James Ingram live version of "Yah Mo Be There". I believe it was from a concert called Michael McDonald and friends.

[@darinmoates8256]

Michael Jackson used to play backup for the Doobie Brothers

[@russwr4946]

rock knows no race it feels the base and moves forward and changes baby

[@deanstevens8609]

GREAT. VOICE. GREAT BEAT. BAD TUNE🤙👌👍

[@cindyv1401]

Michael McDonald ‼️‼️‼️💯 One of the ALL TIME best voices in music history ❣️

[@latigresadragon8]

It is such a true JOY to watch you FEEL music.... Keep building ur channel...You got some very special energy 🔥

[@daleclark3900]

Perry's called the voice for a reason

[@lancevaughn432]

Yes more Doobies, Takin`n It To The street, Long Train Running, China Grove, Black Water, Listen To The Music, Take Me In Your Arms, Rockin Down The Highway, It`s Keeps You Running`, Jesus Is Just Alright, and more.

[@caritakallio3961]

Yes... "Takin' it to the streets" next please from them - your reaction... priceless

[@cathyhall1350]

Any Doobie Brothers song rocks! First with lead singer Tommy Johnson and then Michal McDonald here! 🎸✌️💙🎼

[@clare1061]

When Tommy Johnston left the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald join the group their style of music completely changed. A lot of people couldn’t get used to it but, I did I like all their music. When Tommy Johnston re-joined the lineup it was absolutely fantastic to have them all together. Michael McDonald fit in perfectly with that band.

[@TheDivayenta]

Just saw them all together last week!

[@KarynaNationArt]

Classic song! 🙌

[@Coolrockndad]

This tune hit #1 in 1979 and then went on to win 2 Grammy's for Record of the Year and Song of The Year.

[@doreenrossi7684]

One of my favorites

[@obadian_]

"Long train running" is my favorite one "Listen to the music" is also good

[@marykatedurett8285]

I simply love seeing you loving the music of my youth ❤️❤️🎵🎵

[@monaguedon7656]

Black Water is a must !!!

[@natecorning]

Nice the Doobies are filthy!!! Gotta do "I Keep Forgettin'" for another great Michael McDonald song. And you'll def recognize it from a hip hop sample. Or the "It Keeps You Running" live video for more Doobies soulfulness

[@marcieharreld286]

One of the most distinctive voices in music history!!! 🤟🎵🎼🎶 Yeah I recognize that puzzled look!!! Beyond amazing in concert!!! Joint smokin buddies...."doobie" brothers!!!😉😉🤟🤟🤟

[@frankgarcia565]

Twon, I think your one of the Best Reaction Video presenters your facial expressions are Priceless. When I am depressed watching and hearing you help take me out of my Depression.

[@ETBrenner]

Yep, Michael McDonald's voice is epic and unique. He's got that baritone velvety warmth in his timbre - and yeah, not only can he effortlessly leap from low to falsetto, he somehow manages to bring a little of that baritone timbre along with (and as someone who has tried doing that myself while singing in choir, I guarantee it's quite a feat!). He also did a lot of background vocals work with Steely Dan - check out the song Peg from Steely Dan's Aja album - you can hear Mike's voice ring right out, perfectly blended in yet clear as a bell. (Steely Dan is totally worth your listening time in its own right, BTW - pretty much everything they recorded is fabulous.)

[@tonyplove]

You are gonna love this group, man. Michael McDonald is a legendary voice. They have a killer outdoor live performance on youtube.

[@peggytumlin4444]

The lead singer for the Doobie Brothers was Michael McDonald he left the band and went on his own. Check out Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald singing "On my Own". Great song and two beautiful voices coming together.

[@womanonthinice1276]

Yeah they are the Brothers DOBIE....lolol

[@jwmatthews3]

I've always liked South City Midnight Lady, by the Doobie Brothers

[@pamelajohnson6199]

South City's my favorite!

[@brandimodrak461]

Listen to him, Kenny Logans, and Steve Perry

[@lxhobson]

Michael McDonald has a very unique voice. If you've listened to just a couple of his songs, you can easily tell it's him. Such a great tone and beautiful, breathy falsetto.

[@thebrhinocerous]

Something to know about "The Doobies" is that Michael McDonald wasn't always the lead singer, and honestly, if you get into their earlier stuff (China Grove, Long Train Running, Black Water, others mentioned below), you'll hear the real diversity and funkiness that this band brings to our ears. They were a gift, for sure.

[@irmarocha7809]

Yes!

[@clare1061]

Randy Jackson from American Idol is also a bass player he was in the group Journey.

[@elliotcurrie7143]

Minute by minute Here to love you Takin it to the streets It keeps you runnin

[@pamelajohnson6199]

Black Water 🌊 🎶

[@sarah1go853]

So low and so high at the same time. In the same line! You NAILED it. Well said :)

[@sarah1go853]

♥️♥️♥️

[@Dee-gk6zg]

Great reaction to a great song💯💯

[@slamecatzwell5544]

Journey had a black guy named Randy Jackson on their RAISED ON THE RADIO TOUR. He was playing the bass guitar. He is on the I'll be alright without you video .

[@mikebragg5940]

What I love about this kind of music is how the white and black volcus join as one...that's the time where there was love and color didn't matter..only love
