黑色的河水 Black Water / The Doobie Brothers

    杜比兄弟合唱团Doobie Brothers成立于1970年的美国san Jose，在面临庞大60年末摇滚文化爆炸的尾声，寻求一种跨越白人技术摇滚与黑人灵魂乐的节奏组合，继而成为70年代美国流行摇滚的代表乐队。始终保持6人成员的Doobie Brothers，原本是衍生自另一支迷幻乡村乐队Moby Grape，在以当时流行文化--大麻叶的昵称"Doobie"为团名之后，不久即被华纳唱片签下合约，1971便推出同名首作。1978年，诞生了蝉联五周的冠军专辑《Minute By Minute》。 随着吉他手Jeff Baxter、鼓手John Hartman相继于70年代末期离团，80年代的杜比兄弟合唱团，成为由主唱Michael McDonald领导的乐队，依然成功的发表销售突破百万及多白金的佳作。
