The Doobie Brothers were founded in San Jose, California in 1970. Although the band's 1971 debut album, "The Doobie Brothers," yielded no hit singles, the subsequent "Toulouse Street" burst out with "Listen To The Music" (#11) and "Jesus Is Just Alright" (#35) The third album, "The Captain and Me" (1973) established the Doobies as concert headliners on the strength of "Long Train Runnin'" (#8) and "China Grove" (#15). The fourth album, "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1974), included "Black Water," the band's first #1 record which eventually sold more than 2 million copies. By 1975, with the release of "Stampede," which included the remake of the Motown classic "Take Me In Your Arms" (Rock Me A Little While)" (#11) and the addition of former Steely Dan guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, The Doobies had become one of the most popular rock bands in the country.
That same year, Baxter suggested another Steely Dan alumnus and Michael McDonald was drafted. His presence was felt immediately as The Doobie Brothers scored a platinum million-selling album in 1976 with "Takin' It To The Streets," propelled by the title-tune single "Takin' It To The Streets" (#13) written by McDonald. "What A Fool Believes," a song McDonald wrote with Kenny Loggins, gave the band its second #1 hit. It was included on "Minute By Minute" (1979), whose title tune "Minute By Minute" (#14) notched up another hit. 
1980 began with The Doobie Brothers nailing three Grammy awards for "What A Fool Believes" and a fourth Grammy going to "Minute By Minute".
Although they have had a few more line-up changes, The Doobie Brothers have continued to tour and draw crowds.
