The Doobie Brothers: cuando la música no tiene color

Por las venas de la banda americana The Doobie Brothers, circula sangre caliente californiana y energía desenfrenada balanceándose entre el pop-rock, folk o country principalmente. Ellos inciaron su carrera en 1970 como una banda de rock obteniendo un gran éxito comercial, sobre todo con la incorporación de Michael McDonald, que dió al pop-rock inicial de la banda, un estilo más elegante influenciado por el soul. Su fantástica voz recubierta de un alma soul, ofrecieron al grupo un arco iris musical más amplio; el sonido blue-eyed soul les venía como anillo al dedo.

Surgieron canciones tan maravillosas como este "What A Fool Believes", compuesta por Michael Mcdonald y Kenny Loggins, y con la que obtuvieron varios Grammys. Estaba incluida en el álbum 'Minute by minute' de 1978, y permaneció durante varias semanas en lo más alto de las listas de ventas gracias a este sencillo que ya es todo un clásico. Otras grandes canciones son "Listen To The Music" o "Long Train Running" de estilo más country-rock.

Ellos son un grupo de una gran armonía vocal con un falsete escalofriante, letra adictivas, y melodías enérgicas o envolvente que te atrapan desde el primer momento. Es uno de esos momentos en que la música no tiene color y lo blanco se solapa con lo negro, universalizando uno de los lenguajes más bellos.

What A Fool Believes
He came from somewhere back in her long ago 
The sentimental fool dont see 
Tryin hard to recreate 
What had yet to be created once in her life 

She musters a smile 
For his nostalgic tale 
Never coming near what he wanted to say 
Only to realize 
It never really was 

She had a place in his life 
He never made her think twice 
As he rises to her apology 
Anybody else would surely know 
Hes watching her go 

But what a fool believes he sees 
No wise man has the power to reason away 
What seems to be 
Is always better than nothing 
And nothing at all keeps sending him... 

Somewhere back in her long ago 
Where he can still believe theres a place in her life 
Someday, somewhere, she will return 

She had a place in his life 
He never made her think twice 
As he rises to her apology 
Anybody else would surely know 
Hes watching her go 

But what a fool believes he sees 
No wise man has the power to reason away 
What seems to be 
Is always better than nothing 
Theres nothing at all 
But what a fool believes he sees... 
Long Train Running
Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You see them long trains runnin'
And you watch them disappear

Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back

Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love

Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' Mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late

Without love
Where would you be now - now, now, now
Without love

[Instrumental]

Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' Mama
You know they're runnin' late

Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

When pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails lie cold and hard
For the miles that they go down

Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love

Where would you be now

Gotta get ya, baby, baby
Won't you boogie down?
Won't you boogie down?

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Won't you boogie down?

Where the big trains run
When the trains are movin' on

Ya gotta keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
