The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers is an American pop-rock band formed on August 20, 1970. The band's style changed repeatedly from California rock and hard rock to pop rock with elements of soul. According to various critics, this is the best band in America. The group was formed after guitarist Patrick Simmons joined the California trio Pud, and the quartet was immediately renamed The Doobie Brothers; "doobie" in local slang meant a "marijuana cigarette." At first, the group gained popularity as hard rock performers, but then reoriented towards AOR.
