Just found out today. So sad, In a previous life I was a photographer [mainly entertainment industry] Last year I found some photos I took of Dobie and looked him up with a view to sending them to him. It's too late now.
now this really is a beautiful song! willie nelson and waylon jennings made semi hits out of it but no one can pull those heart strings like Dobie! RIP!
You were the best thing in my life Dobie when i heard you sing this just some singers you carry along with you on the journey Dobie was one of them ...Thanks bro
You see, comments like this idiot Lilearlsinks made are why it's so difficult to know what is the truth and what is not the truth on the Internet. Mentor Williams wrote "Drift Away", one of the all-time great songs. "We Had It All" was written by Fritts and Seals which anyone with rudimentary Internet searching abilities and an IQ above 40 could determine on their own.
@dhornjr1 also this I think (wiki) "Williams full songwriting credit, publishing...Dobie composed melody, lyrics 4hook "give me the beat boys ... and drift away." music business politics being as it was at the time.."
One of the Best voices of our time. Great version of this song.
