Formation

In 1969, John Hartman, a drummer, was introduced to Tom Johnston who was a singer-songwriter and guitarist. They began playing at bars and met singer and guitarist, Patrick Simmons. Simmons’ finger-style playing worked well with Johnston’s R&B style. In coming years many musicians joined and left the band including Tiran Porter and Michael Hossack. In 1979, John McFee, a guitarist, vocalist and violinist joined the band and is still a part of The Doobie Brothers.

Their self titled debut album was released in 1971 and did not do so well. However, their second album Toulouse Street produced by Ted Templeman was a hit. Templeman brought in the keyboardist Bill Payne which added unique layers to the band’s music.
 

Music Style

The reason The Doobie Brothers are so popular with people from different generations is because older fans of the band introduce their music to their children. Moreover, their popularity arises from the fact that each member has a different musical style and background. When these unique creative energies come together the songs created are an amalgam of musical styles that cater to different audiences. About the band’s style Tom Johnston said, “It’s based on rhythms, rhythm structures, picking, and harmonies. That’s been the signature of the band.” Simmons’ background is folk/blues, Johnston’s is R&B/ rock ‘n’ roll while McFee came from a country background.
