Patrick Simmons (born October 19, 1948)[1] is an American musician best known as a founding member of the rock band The Doobie Brothers, with whom he was inducted as into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.[2][3] Born in Aberdeen, Washington, he has been the only consistent member of the band throughout their tenure.

The Doobie Brothers

In 1970, a California-based power trio consisting of Tom Johnston, Dave Shogren and John Hartman teamed up with Simmons to form a group together. They would call themselves "The Doobie Brothers", after their friend Keith "Dyno" Rosen, who either lived with or next to the band told them:[4]

"Why don't you call yourself the Doobie Brothers because you're always smoking pot?"

Simmons wrote and sang many songs for the Doobie Brothers, including lead vocal on "South City Midnight Lady", as well as "Dependin' On You", "Echoes of Love", "Wheels of Fortune" and "Black Water", the group's first #1 record.[1]

The group's 1978 studio album, Minute by Minute, reached number one for five weeks, and won the band a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, while the single "What A Fool Believes" from the album won three Grammys itself.

The Doobie Brothers disbanded in 1982, with Simmons' decision to leave the group, as the last original member at the time, after Dave Shogren left in 1971, Tom Johnston in 1977, and John Hartman in 1979. The Doobie Brothers reformed again in 1987, and the band are still touring, as of 2024, being led by Simmons and Johnston. Their latest album was Liberté (2021).

The group has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide.[5][6] The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004,[7] and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on November 7, 2020.[2][3] Upon hearing that the band were to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Simmons recalled:[8]

I was really happy about it. It's something that we've been thinking about for a long time. That's kind of one of the things you always hope will happen, especially with a band like ours that has been around this long. We're celebrating 50 years. It might even be 51, but who is counting?

Solo works

In 1983, Simmons released his first solo album, Arcade, on Elektra Records. It yielded his only top 40 hit, "So Wrong",[9] which peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100. "So Wrong" was also a surprise hit on the US dance/disco chart, peaking at #8.[10] The album was reissued on compact disc in Japan in the early 1990s and again in 2007, by the label Wounded Bird Records.

Simmons also formed the band Skin Suit during this period.[11] In 1998, Simmons released a second solo album titled Take Me to the Highway.

Book

With Tom Johnston, Simmons wrote Long Train Runnin': Our Story of The Doobie Brothers (2022).[12]

Personal life

Simmons was raised in San Jose, California, where his father was a high school educator.

In 1981 he opened a vintage motorcycle shop with author William J. Craddock.[13] Simmons moved to Mendocino County, California in 1990 after the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 and later to Hawaii.[14]

He met his wife Cristine in 1989 in Sturgis, South Dakota at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. They both enjoy riding antique motorcycles, participating in the 2014 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Ride.[15] They participated in the 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball, riding from Atlantic City, New Jersey to San Diego, California.[16]

Education

He attended Leigh High School in San Jose, California.,[17] followed by San José State University[18] where he was a member of the Theta Xi fraternity[19] and lived for many years in Santa Cruz County, California.
