A compilation of hits during his time with Imperial Records, Fats Domino Sings Million Record Hits was released in 1960 as a mono LP. This copy from 1964 is a "rechanneled" or "faked stereo" copy.
Here is I'm Ready:






Southern California Blues/Rock band The Doobie Brothers, broke onto the music scene with their second studio album Toulouse Street released in 1972.  After the poor reception or their debut album, their fortunes turned with this album making it to #21 on the pop charts.  With a style between Allman Brothers and the Eagles, their music is both diverse and engaging as shown here in Rockin' down the Highway:





Perhaps the most popular album during their early career, The Captain and Me, from 1973, produced two of their biggest hits with China Grove and Long Train Runnin'  but my pick from this great album is Dark Eyed Cajun Woman:







what were once vices are now habits was the first Doobie Brothers album that I bought, and it is still my favourite; plus I think it has a great title!  Producing their first #1 hit with Black Water, this album has many great songs and a good variety of styles too.
Here is rather short but hard hitting Pursuit on 53rd Street:
