The band's lineup has evolved throughout its history, with founding members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons being mainstays. Michael McDonald, who joined the group in the mid-70s, contributed to their sound with his distinctive soulful voice and helped to steer their evolution into a more soft rock direction.
