Interesting facts about Listen To The Music & The Doobie Brothers
The Doobie Brothers from 1970 to 1975 featured most vocals from Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons. The band was more Rock-oriented and was heard on what is now known on Classic Rock stations. From 1976 to 1982 the band had a new lead singer in Michael McDonald who turned the band more towards Blue-Eyed Soul
The chorus of this song has been used many times for radio jingles.
In a 1986 Los Angeles Times poll, the Doobie Brothers were the band that readers most wanted to reunite, behind Led Zeppelin.
The Doobie Brothers’ self-titled first album was a flop, but Warner Brothers Records stuck with them, never pressuring them to produce a hit, and The Doobies developed into a very successful Rock band.
The song was re-recorded by The Doobie Brothers for the country-tribute album Southbound. The new version features a vocal contribution from Blake Shelton, and Hunter Hayes on guitar.

I remember this song…..the line “ain’t so hard to do if you know how” eluded me for years. I just absolutely could not understand what they were saying, so I made up my own line.
Always loved the song, though,

Wow ! this does take me back…. Nice song ! I never understood their name at the time, thought it was weird. But then again, there were amazing songs out there , that were ‘just words’ to me really, I never understood the real meaning. Hope you have a lovely day. It’s Monday here now, so Happy Monday 🙂
