The Doobie Brothers - Take Me In Your Arms (Official Music Video)

[@colinswain9740]

How, in God's name, did it take until 2020 for the Doobie Bros to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?? They were, and still are, one of the best rock and roll bands on planet Earth!

The Doobie Brothers musicianship meets Motown song writers. Does it get any better than this?

[@DonatoDamiano-r2g]

Tom was the best lead singer in the history of the Doobie's, imho. Soulful greatness there!

[@Joel_Powell]

Love to hear that comment - as amazing as Michael is (and Pat for that matter), Tommy IS the Doobie Brothers. I just saw them a month ago and he sounded sooooo good - a couple years prior I was able to do a meet and greet with Tom, Pat, and John McFee - was a great experience.

Love his voice. Just the right amount of grit. John Fogarty of CCR is another favorite.

Being born in 1957, being a kid in the 60's, and being a teenager for the greatest tunes of any decade in the 70's, " Dobie brothers " were the greatest by the way,,, I consider myself so fortunate I was born and bred in these years! Oh yea baby!

It’s Johnston and I totally agree with you.

[@skooby_doobie_doonkann3334]

@@raymondtovey3722 🤔 not sure I can agree with you there. Johnston fits the doobies sound a bit more I feel but Henley is a damn good vocalist. Two different really, both bluesy but Johnson more of a raw, throaty shouting. Henley, very gentle singing, excellent vibrato, a bit raspy and in some cases nasally.
