Title: With this album,they're takin' it to the charts!
Product review: Michael McDonald,a background vocalist for Steely Dan makes his debut with the Doobie Brothers on TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS.This album is the last full-time project for Tom Johnston,the Doobies' original lead vocalist,whose illness caused him to quit after this album(Johnston and the other original Doobie Brothers members would reform in 1989 after having disbanded 7 years earlier). There are many great songs on this album that I heard over my satellite feed at my workplace. Hits include the title track,IT KEEPS YOU RUNNIN' and WHEELS OF FORTUNE. I also heard FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL and LOSIN' END. Following this album is THE BEST OF THE DOOBIES,which is a compilation containing IT KEEPS YOU RUNNIN' and TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS. McDonald would later re-record LOSIN' END,but in a jazz style,for his 1982 solo debut album IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. I like the style of CARRY ME AWAY. It has that Motown sound like the Toys' Lovers' Concerto.
