The blend of folk-style finger-picking of Pat Simmons with the rough-hewn rock licks of Tom Johnston, whose soulful lead vocals gave the band its initial distinctive sound, helped The Doobie Brothers to define what would become known as the California sound of the 70s. The exceptional 8 piece sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and brought country-rock, folk-rock, and boogie jams to pop radio with their slick synthesis of sounds.

Released in 1976 Best Of The Doobies was the band’s first greatest hits album and contained material from Toulouse Street through to Takin’ It To The Streets. The album rose to success peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200 and went on to become a diamond record.
