The Doobie Brothers

In late 1986, The Doobie Brothers had reunited for a benefit concert at Children's Hospital in Stanford, where Michael McDonald shone with his soulful rendition of "Real Love". This performance marked a key moment, generating buzz as the band had released their latest studio album, "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits," in 1974, and by this time, their influences were widely recognized in the genre. Interestingly, the band had originally split in 1982, making this reunion not just a nostalgic affair, but a significant comeback illustrating their enduring legacy in rock music. With McDonald's smooth vocals, combined with the band's classic harmony, this concert not only showcased their musical prowess but also underscored their commitment to philanthropy, elevating the concert beyond just a moment of nostalgia to a heartfelt evening supporting a noble cause.
