What a Fool Believes

I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.

Michael McDonald's voice is very unique 👌

Who’s still jamming to this in 2023!!! A true classic!

One of those songs you never get tired of listening to....

How about you guys in 2024 still a classic ❤

Nothing beats old school 🏫 music,period. Not even today's music.

This song takes me back to weekends in the 80's, mom and dad playing records on the turn table. Those were simpler times and memories I'll never forget.

I’m 14 years old and one of my favorite songs. The musical components on this and how it’s arranged are magnificent. Perfect!

What is it about Michael McDonald's voice that is so satisfying?

I was a child when I first heard this son, now I'm pushing 60, still love it!! jesus christ time really flies!!

Whether its in 1970s or 2024, people will always be listening to the Doobie Brothers!

Michael McDonald has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard! I'm 32 years old, I was raised by my single father who brought me up on ALL the oldies and I absolutely LOVE The Doobie Brothers and this song!!

"She had a place in life. He never made her think twice" Story of my fuckin life, 🤣

The best Doobie Brothers song ever!!!!!!!!!!

This song is pure genius. This is when music was real music.

[Verse 1] He came from somewhere back in her long ago The sentimental fool don't 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 [Pre-Chorus] She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go [Chorus] 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 Than nothing at all [Verse 2] Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday, somewhere She will return [Pre-Chorus] She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go [Chorus] But what a fool believes, he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be (If love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?) Is always better than nothing (Who got the power?) Than nothing at all (Oh, now) What a fool believes (I believe she's never gone away) he sees No wise man has the power (To reason away) To reason away What seems to be (Oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama) Is always better than nothing (Better than nothing) Than nothing at all (Oh, I believe)

My wife and I are. They sang this last Sunday night on their 50 year anniversary tour. They still sound great. They are one of the greatest bands of all time.

2024- Kenny Logans Collaborated on this Masterpiece With one of the BEST Singer-Song Writers of our Generation!..The LEGENDARY Michael McDonald..💯🔥✌️

Michael McDonald's big break came when the Doobies were set to go on tour and Tom Johnston fell "ill". One of the band members knew McDonald(who was virtually unknown in the music world) and they approached him to join the band. They liked what they heard in the impromptu audition and the rest-as they say- is history.

Never get tired of listening to hear his magical vocals !
