Tom Johnston may not be a household name, but anyone that has spent even a little time listening to classic rock radio over the past few decades knows his voice. Not only did the Doobie Brothers<\/a> frontman sing lead on classics like \u201cChina Grove,\u201d \u201cListen to the Music\u201d and \u201cLong Train Runnin,’\u201d but he has sole songwriting credit on those songs as well. And even though he\u2019s 71 and been at this for half a century, he still plays about 90 shows a year with the Doobies and belts the hits out with a voice that shows remarkably few signs of wear and tear.<\/p>\n

Johnston spoke about the group\u2019s long-awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>, the odds of reuniting with ex-members at the ceremony and their upcoming summer tour<\/a> with Michael McDonald.<\/p>\n
