I will now attempt to connect the Doobie Brothers to Steely Dan to Toto to the Eagles to Fleetwood Mac in four steps:
In 1977, the Doobie Brothers released "Livin' On the Fault Line", and in the linear notes, they credit Toto's David Paich for orchestrating the horn section and the band's keyboardist/vocalist...
Michael McDonald guest-starred in Steely Dan's 1976 album "The Royal Scam"...
Who also had Eagles' Timothy Schmit sing backup vocals, and guest-starred in 1982's "Toto IV" and Tim...
Who was in the Eagles... and the band's drummer Don Henley dated Stevie Nicks, the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac
~~
If you don't believe me, look up all the albums referenced above on All Music Guide.
God bless!
