Song of the Day: What A Fool Believes

What A Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers. Written by Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins, What A Fool Believes hit number 1 on the US and Canada charts in 1979. The song would also go on to win Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammy’s in 1980. Not bad for a song that, to me at least, sound nothing like the rest of the band’s hits. I think this song sounds very Steely Dan-ish, which fun fact, Michael McDonald was a brief member of the band in 1974 before joining the Doobie Brothers.
