The group has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide throughout its career . The band has been active for five decades, with its biggest success occurring in the 1970s . </P> <P> The band's history can be roughly divided into three eras . From 1970 to 1975 it featured lead vocalist Tom Johnston and featured a mainstream rock and roll sound with elements of folk, country and R&B . Johnston quit the group in 1975, and was replaced with Michael McDonald whose interest in soul music changed the sound of the band until it broke up in 1982 . The Doobie Brothers reformed in 1987 with Johnston back in the fold and are still active to the present with occasional contributions from McDonald . Every incarnation of the group emphasized vocal harmonies from the band's members . The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004 . </P> <P> Drummer John Hartman arrived in California determined to meet Skip Spence of Moby Grape and join an aborted Grape reunion . Spence introduced Hartman to singer, guitarist, and songwriter Tom Johnston and the two proceeded to form the nucleus of what would become the Doobie Brothers . Johnston and Hartman called their fledgling group "Pud" and experimented with lineups (occasionally including Spence) and styles as they performed in and around San Jose . They were mostly a power trio (along with bassist Greg Murphy) but briefly worked with a horn section . </P>
