The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in 1970 whose sound blends rock with country, folk, R&B and soul influences, built around layered vocal harmonies and strong guitar interplay. Their style shifted in the mid 1970s when keyboardist and singer Michael McDonald introduced a smoother, more soul-tinged approach, broadening the group’s musical palette and reach across rock and pop-oriented styles.
