In my opinion, this is the greatest song ever recorded. NEVER fails to lift my mood, any time and under any circumstances

Probably a few Beatles songs ahead of it, but it's right up there for sure. The ending is a killer

With all the debate over who was better, Tom Johnston or Michael McDonald...it would appear that Pat Simmons never got the credit he deserved in sticking with the band all the way through. Very talented guy.

I was a Sophomore in high-school when this was released as a B-Side single in November of 1974, and I remember thinking, "It isn't going to get much better than this" how fortunate we were to have music of this caliber played daily on the radio, wouldn't change it for the world.

Susan Parker

Sophomore in college at the time and I was amazed at their awesome harmonies! A favorite for us to sing on a chill Saturday night that fall and winter. Good memories with great friends.

Kelly J Jackson

@rummerlinelmo You're lucky! My class of 71 voted for We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters 🙄 I voted for We're Not Gonna Take It by The Who 🤘I wouldn't be surprised if that actually won and the stuffed shirts in administration wouldn't allow it 😅

I had just turned 21, finally old enough to go into bars and drink my brains out 😁🤢🤮

This is one of the best live perfor4mances I've heard by an old band ever. Better than the original! Fantastic harmonies, tight playing---I feel sorry for the guys in the back tho---that harp player and pianist. Couldnt really hear them much!(Might be the compressed YouTube sound? LOL)

In Glasgow I saw this band live for the very first time a few days ago and i have to say this band ..... blew me away live! Easily and i mean easily the best live act I have ever seen and i have seen a lot ! You know how you can see an older band and you see them in name only but not really in nature, as they are all a bit older, well this is absolutely not the case with the Doobie Brothers...the sound on stage is album fresh and the energy on stage could not be topped .... i stood watching them thinking to myself, I TOTALLY get why in the Hells Angeles endorsed this band in California in 1970 whilst watching them except I was getting that and understanding that in 2017 whilst watching them .... they are 100% authentic Rock n Roll Royalty and should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame !

@kristi 449 That's because "Black Water" is Patrick's signature song, not Tom's. I'm sure that if the video were of "China Grove" or any other of the many songs written totally or primarily by Tom, Tom would be front and center.

MrRmrams

this song reminds me of my sisters best friend ironing my basketball uniform before a big game. her and i would hookup 23 yrs later.

I'm a Sister and I loved the Doobie Bros energy, especially when they performed "Black Water". However, when Michael McDonald joined the group I loved it even more. Those who are true music lovers will appreciate really exceptional music of all genres. I know I do.

Kara Shea

@DC Madam oh my gosh, “Sister”, I’m hearing you about Michael McD joining the group. That band went from great to superstar (there are better adjectives to describe - I just can’t think). But WOW he just added that spice yet smoothness mixing R&B funk wirh bluegrass rock and roll TASTEE!!

I was very fortunate to see these great musicians in Vancouver, BC at the Pacific Coliseum on October 01, 1977.
They performed this song with many other of their other hits.
Still have that ticket stub and still love their music and timeless talent!
Rock on Doobies!

TCS VLogs

This song reminds me of the summer when me and my family would go out on our boat and go swimming and fishing and all hang out and have a good time, can’t wait to have more of those days, this song will remind me of summer and get me through the harsh winter!

Reminds me of my home, New Orleans.

I was working at a Summer Theater company in Solvang CA as an electrician and we always had parties. This night was a little different. This night the Techies AND the actors partied together and this song came on and E V E R Y O N E was dancing and singing at the top of their lungs and as the music started to fade out, someone turned out the lights and we kept singing the same refrain for about another 5 minutes just as loud, in the dark and still dancing. . . and other stuff. . . Just a truly magical moment. Thank you for the inspiration. . .

in the 70's, the doobies were and still are the most underrated hit makers ever. they ooozzed with talent, talent, talent and more of it.

jim ogrady

marcy Denville I was happy Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Buffalo, NY in 70s. That Buffalo called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA because of 1977 Blizzard. I don't blame people we got 19 feet of snow from that storm, City & Schools closed for 3 weeks. Its still bad we get 10 feet every winter from Lake Erie. At least we have the Lake for summer fun even if its only 3 months Buffalo always has a WHITE CHRISTMAS
