介绍

杜比兄弟（英语：The Doobie Brothers）是成立于美国加利福尼亚州圣荷西的摇滚乐团，自1970年代的大成功以来，他们已经活跃于乐坛50年之久。目前乐团的阵容包括了长年成员汤姆·强斯顿（歌手/吉他）、派崔克·西蒙斯（歌手/吉他）、约翰·麦克菲（和声歌手/吉他/小提琴/踏板钢棒吉他）和近期回归的麦可·麦克唐纳（歌手/键盘）。

乐团的历史大致可分成三个阶段。由强斯顿担任主唱的1970年到1975年间，乐团以捻和乡村、民谣与R&B元素的主流摇滚声响获取广大听众的支持。强斯顿于1977年退团后由麦克唐纳接手主唱一职，而他也为乐团注入灵魂乐与爵士乐的影响，直到1982年解散为止。1987年，强斯顿重建了杜比兄弟。麦克唐纳之后也客串了几场演出，并于2019年正式回归乐团来参与创团50周年的庆祝巡演。

杜比兄弟知名于强大的和声和双鼓手编制。乐团已在全球销售了超过四千万张唱片，时至今日也还有〈Listen to the Music〉、〈Long Train Runnin'〉、〈China Grove〉、〈Black Water〉、〈Takin' It to the Streets〉和〈What a Fool Believes〉等脍炙人口的歌曲被世人牢记。杜比兄弟于2004年入选声乐团体名人堂，并于2020年入选摇滚名人堂。

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in San Jose, California, in 1970. Known for their flexibility in performing across numerous genres and their vocal harmonies, the band has been active for over five decades, with their greatest success taking place in the 1970s. The group's current lineup consists of founding members Tom Johnston (guitars, keyboards, harmonica, vocals) and Patrick Simmons (guitars, banjo, recorder, vocals), alongside Michael McDonald (keyboards, synthesizers, mandolin, vocals) and John McFee (guitars, pedal steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin, cello, harmonica, vocals), and touring musicians including John Cowan (bass, vocals), Marc Russo (saxophones), Ed Toth (drums), and Marc Quiñones (percussion, backing vocals). Long-serving former members include guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, bassist Tiran Porter, and drummers John Hartman, Michael Hossack, and Keith Knudsen.

Johnston provided the lead vocals from 1970 to 1975, when they featured a mainstream rock sound with elements of folk, country and R&B. McDonald joined the band in 1975 as a keyboardist and additional lead vocalist, to give some relief to Johnston, who was suffering health problems at the time. McDonald's interest in soul music introduced a new sound to the band. Johnston, Simmons, Porter, and McDonald performed together as lead vocalists for one album, Takin' It to the Streets, before Johnston left in 1977. Frequent lineup changes followed through the rest of the 1970s, and the band broke up in 1982 with Simmons the only constant member having appeared on all of their albums. In 1987, the Doobie Brothers reformed with Johnston back in the fold. McDonald, who made several guest appearances after their reformation, returned full-time in 2019.

The group's sixteen studio albums include six top-ten appearances on the Billboard 200 album chart. Their 1978 album Minute by Minute reached number one for five weeks, and won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. Their song "What a Fool Believes" from that album, written by McDonald and Kenny Loggins, won two Grammys, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The band had 16 Billboard Hot 100 top-40 hits, including "Listen to the Music", "Jesus Is Just Alright", "Long Train Runnin'", "China Grove", "Black Water" (#1 in 1974), "Takin' It to the Streets", "What a Fool Believes" (#1 in 1979), and "The Doctor", all of which receive rotation on classic hits radio stations. They have also released six live albums and numerous greatest hits compilations, including 1976's Best of the Doobies, certified diamond by the RIAA for reaching album sales of ten million copies. The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. The group has sold more than 40 million records worldwide.

Career

Original incarnation

Drummer John Hartman arrived in California in 1969 determined to meet Skip Spence of Moby Grape and join an aborted Grape reunion. Spence introduced Hartman to singer, guitarist, and songwriter Tom Johnston and the two proceeded to form the nucleus of what would become the Doobie Brothers. Johnston and Hartman called their fledgling group "Pud" and experimented with lineups (occasionally including Spence) and styles as they performed in and around San Jose. They were mostly a power trio (along with bassist Greg Murphy) but briefly worked with a horn section.
