YOUR COMMENTS ON Doobie Brothers

Disco? Nah. An r & b-tinged pop hit with a funky beat, but then that describes half the Hot 100 in 1979. Michael McDonald always sounded to me like he was singing through a towel.

The 90s remix of "Listen to the Music" is quite a good dance track.

Just goes to show how much a remix can put into an old track.

This fits more into the category we call 'Two step' in ol' Blighty. Not really Disco IMHO.

Incognito did a decent cover of 'Listen To the Music' last year (2004)

IMO "What a fool believes" is not Disco even after Jim Burgess did a 'Special Disco Mix' released on 12" by WB (WBSD-8778) back in 1978. Aretha's 1980 version didn't fare any better.

Long train runnin(about love) was a discolike hit.

Hey, if you played it at a DISCO for any real amount of time, like a couple of months. Then you have to acknowledge it. WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES mixed great with HE'S SO SHY by the POINTER SISTERS. Two similar songs that were out at the same times, more or less. I actually played a lot of the DOOBIE BROTHERS, "REELING IN THE YEARS" was a huge song. When using two copies to create a remix it turned that ROCK/POP song into an excellent DISCO VERSION!! UNLIKELY ARTISTS, yeah your right.
