Such was the case with "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, which hit the top of the charts in 1979. As singer Michael McDonald told The Guardian, he wrote the song with Kenny Loggins, and they both recorded different versions of the song around the same time. Loggins released his take on the song several months before the Doobie Brothers...but it wasn't a huge success. Meanwhile, the Doobie Brothers were struggling to get their own version right.
Eventually, Templeman got fed up, as McDonald recalled.
Templeman shared his own memories in the same interview.
"When the song was finished, I still didn’t think it was right," Templeman continued. "I went over to Warner Bros and into a meeting with all these hitmakers and old pros. 'This thing is a piece of crap,' I said, 'but I’ll play it for you anyway.' I was just about ready to throw it away. And they said: 'Are you crazy? That’s great!' Even when we went to collect the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1980, I was thinking: 'How did this happen?'"
"It really captured the public’s imagination and developed a life of its own," McDonald said, adding, "I think it came out of nowhere and stylistically wasn’t like anything we’d done before or like anything anyone else was doing at the time."
