Dobie Gray - Drift Away (Original Official Video)

[jayman965]

from some angles, he look like samuel l jackson, and in others he look like laurence fishborne/

[XxGIMYKxX]

Dammit, well now i have to listen to this 30 more times.

[cokerg2003]

He died....I didn't even know. This version (his) is the ONLY version of this song. Sorry, it just IS. I've got nothing against the other artists who covered this but THIS song, sung by HIM is THE one. That's just the way it is....

[DickisHeadis]

back in the day when Dobie had two O's in it

[TheDaunte13]

where ever this video was shot i want to go and free my soul like Dobie

[tamenga88]

Seriously Years ago when I heard this guy sing on the radio I thought he was a white guy.

Amazing Simply Amazing

[TheHumanGodKing]

@tamenga88 It's really not that amazing, there are actually lots of black people.

[tamenga88]

@TheHumanGodKing

A Black Guy singing Southern Rock/Country that well is as amazing to me as a Black Vocalist in a Death Metal band.

[TheHumanGodKing]

@tamenga88 jk, I feel you man.

[Karenwilla]

This song got me through more bad days than I can care to remember. Thank you, Dobie Gray for giving me the beat to free my soul and drift away. Rest in peace. You will never ever be forgotten

[ngiwalbeluu79]

you will be missed but your music still goes on....

[RSMVbyme]

R.I.P.



[livetoweld72]

as a teenager t i hear the flip side of drift away and its called bright lights it tells of a young girl who runaway the city and i just cant find it i must be the only one who liked it

[sbartley64]

RIP Dobie Gray, you still are giving us the beat, though you've drifted away... thank you for this, your voice and your music, and sharing your soul in every note. Godspeed!

[KAP0308]

@sbartley64 "RIP Dobie Gray, you still are giving us the beat, though you've drifted away..." That was just pure awesomeness.

[brakedemoff007]

amazing

[Romcha15]

This is to @romcha15. And he committed suicide by asphyxiation because his wife who he had married to for 24 years cheated on him.

[bonez0238]

Dobie Gray, a legend among men. Thank you for opening another part of my heart to your incredible voice. Rest in Peace.

[mcsuckit2121]

i first herd this song around a campfire with my uncle, trees all around us and a Maskoka sunset close bye.

whenever im realy down i think off this song and that exact night,

i allways feel better after.

he never new it, but this man helped me threw life and will continue to do so until 'I' drift away.

R.I.P Dobie Gray.

thank you.

[Bejaut]

This was my first favorite song! <3 Rest In Peace Dobie Gray this song is truly amazing. <3

[MISTAA2DAJ]

This use to be my theme song, I was a racist, I thought he was white , but now I love Black people!

[metromanilla]

lol i thought he white to until i watched those dang infomercials at 2am time life music and seen him when they showed a short clip,black or white great song and voice.

[soxfan801]

R.I.P. Dobie,nobody can capture the spirit of this song like you.

[MrNateyboy]

This is the single best song ever.

[TMNTG]

For Years I Thought This Song Was By Bob Seiger. Now That I Think About It There's No Way Bob Could Sing A Song As Beautifully As Dobie!

[Romcha15]

My uncle bobby used to turn this song all the way up in his pontiac convertable on the way to the drive in movies. When they found him dead he was listening to this song in the front seat of his cherry red pontiac with the top down.

[troglodyto]

@Romcha15 oh wow. how did he die?

[FlippMeDo42]

ive been listening to this song for ages and i thought this guy was white!

[jado818]

Man is an inspiration.

[miggans21012]

It dosen't get any better then this.

[scottmoore30]

dobie gray has passed away on December 6, 2011 (1940-2011) he will be missed great song This is a timeless classic

[waterslv]

[Inferno31415]

Kind of looks like Morpheus from the Matrix.

[troglodyto]

@Inferno31415 lmao. morpheus before he left the matrix. XD

[HamelFun]

Love this song!

[Teddy5090]

Dobie Gray vs Uncle Kracker. Which one wins: Hard To Tell. It's A Tie in my opinion. They Both Sing This Song Great. Thumbs up if you agree.

[rayallenftw]

Unlike most artists these days, you can tell Dobie Gray enjoys singing.

[ALFONZO784]

how does this have 15 dislikes this s one of the best songs ever

[BiggestTVFan]

Is it normal for a 15 year old to LOVE this song and LOVE this artist?

[holcombcowboy12]

@BiggestTVFan well, i'm the same age and i love this song, so to me, hell yeah

[iheartryanstyles]

@BiggestTVFan it can be at least it's nice to know that you have a good taste in music

[BiggestTVFan]

DOBIE GRAY IS SO CUTE!!! Uh-Hum um, Yh songs brilliant. :D

[DavidZelenskiy]

He smiles when he sings the chorus because he knows how kick ass it is.

[greenwheel11]

[rossman1992]

Perfection, in a song.

[cokerg2003]

Dobie Gray - Drift Away - a legend in this time of mediocrity.

[ilusier1284]

Even though I like Uncle Kracker, I have to agree that Dobie Gray sings it much better.

[KingBlood074]

Now this is true Soul!!

[ravensfan859]

No matter how many people try to sing this song Dobie Gray sings it the best. Thumbs up if you agree

[suziQ27]

loved it then, love it now.

timeless.

[KAP0308]

Man... this song brings me back to a time when life was so simple and I had no worries in life. The feeling that overcomes me from this song is just an amazing unexplainable thing. Rest in the best of peace, Dobie Gray. Thanks for the great music.

[thesmallcontroller]

thanks for the joy you given me see you in heaven

[franciscothegreat1]

Wow, I was just singing it for no reason, and then I felt I should type it in youtube. :D

[mr101yobros]

i dont get it how has nobody noticed how much he acts like david ruffin (one of the lead singers of the temptations) in this video

[4cellar2door0]

@mr101yobros Perhaps because you're delusional if you think anyone pays any mind to the temptations any more.

[tony4874]

[jrcortz]

[jimcinema]

Hope your soul is free as you drift away, Dobie!

[Astronomicalized]

Great song. RIP

[DWarrior4]

Why the hell did I just get a progressive ad in the middle of the song?

[Blkojo]

Credits may be off by one. If not mistaken it was Nashville session great Reggie Young who did the main guitar parts. Gotta give credit where it is due as those fills really helped propel the song along.

[heyrubes007]

Dobie was also well-known in the gay community and was openly gay :)

[DBays43]

@heyrubes007 - what does any of that have to do with this song? Nothing.

[Roadrunner440]

Thank you Dobie Gray for giving us such a wonderful and timeless song!

[nycdweller]

RIP Dobie Gray. Great song!!

[duhjuce]

RiPeace to This soulfull talented Man..when I first heard 'Drift Away', I honestly thought it was a "white" man ..just goes to show enough with Racism. He was a Man A darn good Artist, I have covered this song many a times..Video 'Coming Soon' In the mean time click and enjoy this timeless classic..

[Airhammer]

RIP

[Paul70]

R.I.P..Mr.Gray.

Thanks for one of the greatest hits of all-time.

To the 14 people who voted thumbs down...why don't you all go "Drift Away" somewhere??

[lefubar]

@Paul70

LOL

[rainbo2]

@Paul70 I "liked" your comment but was thinking maybe they voted thumbs down due to sadness that he's now gone? I certainly HOPE that's the case. How could anyone vote thumbs down for Dobie Gray?

[gregorypeterfrancis]

@Paul70 and thank you Mentor Williams for writing the song, Dobie made it so timeless.

[MrDezmoney]

Rest In peace.. Wonderful song classic i love all old school =)

[pisamojo]
