The Doobie Brothers' 1st single off 1975's "Stampede" was a cover of Kim Weston's 1964 hit, "Take me in Your Arms (Rock Me)".
This clip is more of a stripped down version, without the backing chorus at the end of the song or any post-production tweaking. Tom Johnston had wanted to do this cover for some time, and sings lead, with Patrick Simmons, Tiran Porter, & Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on backing vocals.
As I type this, they're playing live at WinStar World Casino less than an hour away tonight.
ReplyDeleteThey were at SPAC earlier this summer, but of course ticket prices were out of my range.
