The Doobie Brothers it turned out were doing a cover of a Motown song written by Holland-Dozier-Holland. I think I like the Doobies version better but the contrast is interesting.
Wikipedia has a quote from Jeff Baxter
"That song was like a dream come true for us. Every musician I've ever known has at some point wanted to achieve Motown's technically slick soul sound - it's so dynamic. We sat down to try to duplicate it, and to see if our version could emerge as a successful single."When I saw the Doobie Brothers in the 1976 Black Water tour, Baxter never got out of his chair while he played.
Enjoy
