The Doobie Brothers - Dependin' On You (Official Music Video)

[@savagemako17]

Jeff "missle man, Skunk" Baxter looks bored to tears. One of my favorite Doobies. Patrick Simmons is WAY under appreciated. I think he was the driving force behind the band. Way to go guys!!

[@jamesgodfrey7688]

Ha! All True!😊

[@bobbyb.1743]

Tom Johnston maybe as the original lead singer was maybe one of the most unheralded soul singers of that generation. Agree though - loved ‘em all!!

[@brianrott921]

Skunk just likes to sit when he plays ....check out the all star jam with spirit...I got a line on you from 1984

[@kevinkilduff2064]

This transition phase to the Michael McDonald R&B style was an amazing success for the Doobies. Amazing how seamlessly they could venture from rock to country/rock to R&B. The Doobies are one of rocks most talented and flexible bands and in this case , Pat Simmons demonstrate his prowess on that guitar solo near the end of the song. Wow. And they’re still at it with Tom J back, as good as ever!

[@razorcatshark3223]

Truly an under appreciated song 🎧

[@TurtleFrack]

It may be unappreciated, but they Do Be Brothers.

[@windridr66]

Patrick Simmons. What a talent!

[@roberthanna3493]

You can definitely hear the steely dan influence

[@mackcastillo6183]

love the DOOBIE BROTHERS ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALLTIME.

[@mws755]

That's them

[@adamwarlock3530]

Patrick is so underrated. My favorite singer of the Doobies. This is my favorite guitar solo too from the band.

[@nicolegasparini8008]

I couldn’t agree more! My favorite Doobie Brother for sure! ❤

Heard this song in concert last night for the 50 anniversary tour in Phoenix Az. It sounded on point! The Doobies were firing on all cylinders!

[@saleemcat9864]

I'm jealous. Love me some Doobies

[@johnnyholland8765]

Love that song. Ol Skunk sittin in his chair rockin out...

[@bretstanley9449]

Slightly different from the album version yet it seems to be a studio recording. Nice! Pat is a great guitarist. He could do both finger picking, rhythm playing and scorching, yet melodic lead work. Incredible!

[@DrMbutu]

Everyone in the band is a monster

[@rajivduggal9958]

🙏👍

[@joshuakatz2499]

Sounds like they use the bulk of the original studio recording including backup vocals and went with live lead vocals and lead guitar.

[@donbailey6600]

Yep, Kkind of a let down.... Nice to see them in their hey day tho

[@yuljohnson5502]

A great live performance by the Doobie brothers performing one of their most groovy and soulful hits. Pat simmons i thought always did a great job with the vocals on this song and also on the guitar. Also love Mike macdonald's vocals in the background towards the end of the song!!!

[@clydegilliam7776]

Patrick Simmons was a big big key to the DB'S!

[@guitarhazer9695]

Beautiful hair

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

Wow. I wasn’t quite alive when this song came out…a year later I was born. I guess I was very very young when I first heard it. It really feels 70s In my house right now…just like I heard it exactly when it came out…if that makes sense. I feel like I was there and I wasn’t till 79 unless I heard in the womb. My bad…it came out right after my actual birthday but recorded in 78 !!!!! I was there!

[@MegaShiva1]

A Doobie Brothers song that not only you enjoy listening to, but you want to DANCE to as well!

[@paulo23pd]

This is such a good track! Is it me or does this remind me of Steely Dan in parts, like the horns and piano?

[@jimlyons809]

1:43-2:29 is pure DAN.

[@Lee-tq4si]

@@jimlyons809 perhaps just a touch. Then again, band members Michael Mc Donald and Skunk Baxter were both Steely Dan alumni.

[@judithhr]

Not just you! If Fagen was lead vocal it would sound exactly like a Dan song.

[@rajivduggal9958]

Wow! & I always thought Baxter did these solos!👆👍🙏. Gr8 Pat🤗

[@davecoalwood9487]

Funking Brilliant.

[@txsx7858]

Amazing sound they all make together

[@johnfrere8772]

Love this song and most of the Doobies tracks....Miss the main man Mr. Johnston. I feel sad that there was a time when he was not part of the group. Glad so glad they all put their differences aside and reclaimed their space in music.

[@rickrolf6126]

It wasn’t differences, Tom Johnston had a bleeding ulcer, and had to leave the band for health reasons. When they reformed in the late 80’s, he was healed and back as the lead singer.

[@Cpayne30]

@@rickrolf6126 He did come back after the health issues, and left again in 1977. It was creative differences that time; he felt like he'd lost his place in the band.

[@rockindrummerguyh484]

Great Song ,,,,,,,,,, loved it for years

[@christocr]

So Skunk Baxter seems to be just sort of chilling in this video.

[@bretstanley9449]

Yeah, the seated guitarist vibe never really did catch on!

[@rajivduggal9958]

Sulking/Skunking 😆🤣🤣.JK...gr8 guitarist

[@TheDavcormier]

I always thought he played the second solo in that song but apparently he wasn't. Great song anyway and Pat Simmons is a very fine guitarist too.

[@DaddyDuckTown]

This song actually sounds more like old school doobies, mainly cause of the guitar riff.

[@josephbrown9523]

OH MY GOD!! NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!

[@julianaalcantara3595]

In me!

[@pewsterbaby]

Don't remember hearing this single upon release. I can recall 10 Doobies singles from hearing them on the radio. 6 with Johnston and 4 with McDonald. Never heard this played in NYC radio listening radius. The song is too wishy washy, actually. They were getting toooo soft with McDonald.

I never liked when artists would do live promos. Promos should represent the actual recording and be lip synced. Live performances are for concert videos.
