Dobie Gray - Drift Away (Original Official Video)
(Read my blog post here: Read my blog post here: bit.ly Dobie Gray's version of "Drift Away" is, justifiably, the most famous and, by far, the most brilliant reading of the Mentor Williams-penned (that would be Paul Williams' brother) 70s staple. Originally released on John Henry Kurtz' 1972 REUNION album, the indelible classic always takes me away...to that far away place I used to reside -- within the deepest caverns of my soul. At times the song makes me weep, as I miss the halcyon days of my youth and the kinder world we thrived in. When any ills of the world would be swept away when reaching for your LP of your favorite music was all that was needed to, well, drift away. The song was covered hundreds of times these past 40 years, most famously and recently in a passionless 2003 recording by Uncle Kracker. Credited as Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray, the track meandered along in karaoke sterility until finally Gray's soul chimed in mid-point and he infused it with a thrilling tremble. When the track reached #9 on Billboard's Top 100, Gray broke the record for the biggest gap between top US top 10 appearances (it had been 30 years between both). The Kracker version had a far more major impact on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts -- it holds the record as the longest #1 on that chart, having reigned for 28 weeks in 2003-04. No doubt thanks to Gray. There was a story told by Kracker that the song was initially written for Elvis, but Presley turned it down once he <b>...</b>

Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
Relax, "drift away", and enjoy! Don't forget to comment, rate and share :) I like to make a whole video to go along with songs. The reason I always do that for my videos is because I know a lot of people who feel better and enjoy the song more when they watch pictures and a video with it, rather than just one picture through the whole song. I hope you all enjoy this and my other videos too! Mentor Williams wrote the song "Drift Away" and it was originally performed by John Henry Kurtz in his 1972 album "Reunion". Dobie Gray did this song in 1973 and his is the most popular version. Uncle Kracker then performed this in 2003. A friend of mine also did his own video of this original song, which was by Dobie Gray. Check his out: www.youtube.com

Drift Away Acoustic Cover, Donnie "Hoe" & Grimes, 3/23/11, Applebee's
Bet ya didn't expect to see live music at your neighborhood Applebee's! It's sort of fun singing harmony while entire families sit and eat. Without much space for a camera, the angle and lighting are bad, but the sound is very real and raw.

DRIFT AWAY! ::: Dobie Gray :::
{RIP} Dobie! My favorite Dobie quote was: "Live every day to the fullest and stay lifted. Better days are ahead!" "Drift Away" was one of the biggest hits of 1973, sold over one million copies, and remains a staple of radio airplay! His real name was most probably Lawrence Darrow Brown. In 1972, he won a contract with Decca Records, shortly before it became part of MCA, to make an album with producer Mentor Williams, Paul's brother, in Nashville. Among the songs that they recorded at the Quadrafonic Sound Studios, co-owned by session musicians Norbert Putnam and David Briggs, was Mentor Williams' song "Drift Away", featuring a guitar riff by Reggie Young. Released as a single, the song rose to # 5 on the US pop charts, and remains Gray's best known song today. He once said that MCA were unsure of how to market the albums - "They didn't know where to place a black guy in country music. Dobie was also in a west coast production of "Hair". He passed away on december 6, 2011.
