The Doobie Brothers reveal the one moment that saved the band's career

Legendary rock band The #DoobieBrothers open up to Gold Radio about their biggest hits and playing in the UK. Towards the end of the 1970s, The Doobie Brothers had already scored a number of hits and band reshuffles. But they had reached a point where they were at a crossroads, and needed to change this up. They had just recorded their Minute by Minute album, taking on a more soulful pop-rock sound led by new frontman Michael McDonald. However, after a difficult tour in Japan, they essentially broke up just when the album was about to be released. It didn't help at first that record label bosses didn't like what they were hearing. Thankfully, their producer managed to convince them that 'What a Fool Believes' was a hit, and it ended up being their biggest success yet, cementing the Doobies as one of the most successful bands ever.
