The Doobie Brothers is the debut studio album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers. The album was recorded at Pacific Recorders in San Mateo, California<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and released on April 30, 1971, by Warner Bros. Records. It is their only official studio album with all tracks featuring original bass player Dave Shogren, who left during the recording of their second album.
The first single from the album, "Nobody," failed to chart, as did the album itself (although the single made the "Bubbling Under" list at #122 in the July 17, 1971 Billboard Magazine). The single was re-released in October 1974 with a slightly edited length of 3:27<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> after the group had become a highly successful touring and recording act, peaking at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Nobody" was later re-recorded for the group's 2010 album, World Gone Crazy.
