Listen To The Music - The Doobie Brothers (1972) Lossless FLAC

"Listen To The Music" was released in the summer of 1972 on The Doobie Brothers second album, Toulouse Street. The album name refers to the name of a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

This song is my favorite by The Doobie Brothers and is another one that takes me back to a very clear time and place of my youth. I always associate this song and album with my mom and dad's fancy (then!) new color t.v./record player in the living room. This thing was a monster....solid oak, huge speakers at each end and the top on each end opened up...one was the record player and the other was an A.M./F.M. 8-track (not much use for F.M. in my part of the world at that time since we were too far to pick up any signal.....but man San Antonio's king of A.M. radio KTSA was playing through that thing literally for years....basically anytime I didn't have a record spinning! LOL!).

Toulouse Street is also one of my first favorite album covers...strangely stylish & unusual matte photography and the texture of the album cover itself was even different. In those days, they sometimes did unusual things with record covers...raised lettering, and textured paper. For anyone listening to this tune, not old enough to remember what I'm talking about....I guess you'd have had to have been there! ;-)

Anyway....."Listen To The Music" remains one of my favorite classic rock tracks for all these reasons but mainly because it's just a really beautiful, groovy tune....one that's always guaranteed to make you feel better after you listen to it.

This would have been a great video for my 200th upload (I already had another edited for that number or I would have made it so) since it perfectly reiterates and captures what drives me to make these videos....what it's all about for those of us for whom music is so much more than just music....these songs that have touched our souls and been a huge part of our lives.....LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!

As usual SPECIAL THANKS to everyone who's art made this new art possible.....THANK YOU!!!!!

[Lyrics]
Don't you feel it growin',
Day by day
People
Gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy,
Some are sad
Wo, we got to let the music play
Wo, oh yeah
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama's goin' to after awhile
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Well I know,
You know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Wo, we're gonna dance the blues away
Wo, oh yeah
And if I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good,
Feeling fine
Wo, baby, let the music play

Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List'nin' for the happy sounds
And I got to let 'em fly

Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
God, we gotta let the music play!
