Tracing The Doobie Brothers' music career

The Doobie Brothers began as a collaboration between drummer John Hartman, songwriter Tom Johnston, singer-songwriter Patrick Simmons, and bassist Dave Shogren. The band released their eponymously titled debut album, The Doobie Brothers in 1971, which failed to get on the charts.

After their first album, The Doobie Brothers had a change in the line-up, with Shogren leaving the band over disagreements with their producer. He was replaced by bassist Tiran Porter, and Michael Hossack was added to the line-up as a second drummer.

With these changes in place, the band released their second album, Toulouse Street, in 1972, achieving their first breakthrough. The album was received positively and peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Following their second album, The Doobie Brothers achieved a string of successes with their subsequent releases. However, they were once again held back by personnel issues, with both Johnston and Hossak leaving the band due to health reasons.

The Doobie Brothers settled on singer-songwriter Michael McDonald and drummer Keith Knudsen as replacements. They eventually found critical acclaim with their 1978 album, Minute by Minute.
