Maybe NOW the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will finally acknowledge what so many others have know for a long time: The Doobie Brothers deserve to be entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At this point, it's as much to establish credibility for the HOF as it is to honor the Doobies. The public KNOWS they deserve to be there. It's the nominating committee that has to get their act together...
Check out this article for more info and to see several knockout videos by the Doobies!
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright
I don’t care what they may say
I don’t care what they may do
I don’t care what they may say
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright
I don’t care what they may know
I don’t care where they may go
I don’t care what they may know
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus, he’s my friend; Jesus, he’s my friend
He took me by the hand; Led me far from this land
Jesus, he’s my friend
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright
I don’t care what they may say, I don’t care what they may do
I don’t care what they may say, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
After that breathless thread posting I can only presume that “BigChiefLtd” is the FR handle of one of the Doobie Brothers.
Nice to see the Tom Johnson version of the Doobies rather than Michael McDonald version.
Johnston, that is.
It Keeps You Running is a great song..
Jack Colton: [picking up a magazine]
Dammit man, the Doobie Brothers broke up!
Shit! When did that happen?
Joan Wilder: How long have you been down here?
Jack Colton: Forever.
Weren’t the Doobies one of the first rock bands to approach music as a business venture? They had pension plans for roadies, profit sharing, a system of fines for not practicing, etc.? Maybe that’s why they aren’t in the hall because they were viewed as a company rather than a band.
I cannot recount my encounters with this band here.
I will only say that it was a hoot.

Big Doobies fan from back in the day, before the Michael McDonald version, Stampede is still one of my all-time favorite albums.
Doobie is a strange family name. The brothers must have been stoked up about it.
Awesome. Looking forward to hearing it.
However, put on some Eric Burdon / War, and really get your kicks.
I do love it all though. Thanks for the heads up.
Not sure, but if so that’d certainly have been after their 86 reunion. They didn’t seem the kind to be that responsible in the 70s - maybe I’m wrong.
Go search through BigChiefLtd’s posting history and let us know if he’s curiously present on FR threads concerning anti-ballistic missile defense technology, please.
Mr Baxter?
Made a beeline to his mic, but missed the entrance by about 3 or 4 seconds. Funny, the backup vocals never changed. They were in perfect tune, just like a studio recording.
And therein lies the problem, folks. All the backup vocals were canned.
Poseurs.
Wouldn’t he already be a Hall Of Fame inductee via Steely Dan?
