Dobie gray- drift away

[revolver327999]

favorite song

[robinmark64]

Loved this song when I was a kid. Listened to it on the radio every morning on the way to school. Thanks.

[TheCappy4]

I honestly feel like the world would be a better place if people listened to music like this. Hell of a lot better than hearing people rap about doing drugs, killings people, and having sex.

[BloodEagles1945]

TO God, give us dobie gray we'll give you Justin bieber AND Rebecca black

[Kigaauuimp879]

Holy shit, I see no dislike bar.

[Zack8922]

this song makes my pants tight

[Memorex996]

When hollywood had original ideas, music was good, sports players had more class than today (not taking away from the ones who do) and vampires were badass. Why wasnt i born then

[TheTesterOf]

What!? I had no idea that this guy was black. Doesn't matter to me but I was always told that Charlie Pride was the only black country singer.

[tamenga88]

Simply Amazing.

What happened to all BLACK Singers who specialized in country and southern rock?

[bigwatto95]

This song is amazing!

[Kigaauuimp879]

It's a damn shame that Dobie's dead now.

[oliveKos]

2012 :)

[Fancy69insanity]

rip dobie gray

[JRP020563]

classic and wonderful

[masterbigfoot]

you guys realize that only reason why Justin Bieber has so many views is because of all the bot accounts created by fans, trolls, and the record companies.

[georgepatton93]

is it just me or i usually get tears in my eyes when i hear this song. God Bless these kinds of artists

[lancermasterx]

Im 15 and I am sorry what my generation has done to pop music

[OmenOfMetal666]

@lancermasterx I'm 17 and I am sorry to, but this is fucking soul, not pop.

[mcfriendlycreeper]

@OmenOfMetal666 it used to be pop

[calli910]

@lancermasterx me too i love the old music

[RSMVbyme]

@lancermasterx I'm 13 and this is the true music of today, it lives on in us and people like us.

R.I.P.-Dobie Gray

[pewdiepiefanftw]

@RSMVbyme Agreed

P.I.P.- Jhonny Cash

[GothEmoWC]

@lancermasterx you should be, and you're probably a vampire, now apologize for all the vampire movies...

[Alesterlol]

@lancermasterx ur gay

[casestudyification]

@lancermasterx Forget the guilt trip, brah. It just makes me feel better to know that there's some kids out there seeing what's really happening. (I'm 46).

[georgepatton93]

@lancermasterx no worries bro, we just need to make sure that good musics such as this can be passed on to the next generation

[brozzahcheese]

who does this not have a million views :/

[ballscrambous]

i'm here for the good music :)

[Romcha15]

I can remember my uncle bobby turning this all the way up in his pontiac on the way to the drive in. He committed suicide by affixiation, and when they found him shortly after he died, this song was playing and he was in the front seat of his cherry red pontiac with the top down.

[bungalowbill13]

@Romcha15 oh my god... :(

[TMNTG]

@Romcha15 Now Your Uncle Is In Heaven With Dobie Gray, He Can Always Hear This Beautiful, Peace-Bringing Song! May His Spirit Reside With You Forever!

[PoopDawgification]

@Romcha15 Damn... that's rough, bro

[ecutk1]

i love this song

={)

[TODB0AMER]

Classic Classic! (but did it even chart in the UK?)

[DALINK14]

This was my fav. song when I was a kid, And that was in the early 2000's :D

[trololonews]

MAAN, HIS VOICE IS AMAZING.

[Mslovely140302]

[carbumba]

classic

[brozzahcheese]

uncle kracker < dobie gray

[1126jimbo]

I remeber when I was 6, my brother and I used to sing this in a fan when we were bored. Memories never die.

[rosebuddy47]

This entertainer does not get the recognition he deserves.

Wonderful young man great words,great song--what more can I say.

I remember when it was popular!!!

[madmarsrocks1]

I thought this was made in the early 2000's!!! I didn't know it was made in the 60's or 70's! Very good song. :D

[msstanberryii]

Way better than Uncle Krackhead!

[clix411]

Uncle Krackattack nearly ruined this... but Dobie's will live on FOREVER!!!!!!!

[enragedelk]

@clix411 fuck u, unckle cracker makes this guy sound like beiber

[clix411]

@enragedelk Are you kidding me?? I will put what you can not spell in quotation: "Uncle" Cracklicker made this song AS IF "Bieber" had sang it. He butchered it. He cant sing in the first place, and the music itself sounds shitty. This is classic and this guy can actually sing!!!! AND He made this song!!!! You obviously love terrible music! ;)

[TheTriforceOfPower]

i always thought this was sung by a white guy...lol

[kianirose98]

@TheTriforceOfPower

dumb!

[upperdarbybill]

@TheTriforceOfPower Oh! Please.

[limolimo2012]

Maybe Beiber will do a cover...show his heavy soul self

[kianirose98]

@limolimo2012

no! you are so dumb

[upperdarbybill]

@limolimo2012 Are you serious?

[McRelentless77]

i beg to differ im trying to do a rap cover for this song and idk if you like rap but im sure you like good tunes hard emotion and well all that but quick but ill be sure to hit you up....

[DBZAMV4FUN]

[MrBob8490]

@DBZAMV4FUN I'm with you bro, I'm 16 and same story. LOVE real music.

[TheIceCycle]

RIP Dobie! I just checked his bio, he passed December 11th, 2011. he will be missed dearly.

[dewatif]

Dobie fans Time I Love You The Most by Dobie Gray recently posted another great song of his , you wont regret you listened. Thankyou

[mirzacisija]

No



[imagineers0]

I used to hear this song over and over on the radio in the 70s while I read Lord of the Rings. It's all blended together. I remember Frodo and Sam at Cirith Ungol, still in the tunnle.

[nexxsteppnetwork]

LEGEND././R.I.P.

[mirzacisija]

Amazing. Were All Equal.

Dont Deny!

[fuckyourcow]

@mirzacisija bitch please you hate everyone lol

[mirzacisija]

@fuckyourcow No i dont

[fuckyourcow]

@mirzacisija pfftt you bought weed yet?

[JoanHex]

White people always pushing the black people etc etc. .. I do not know why you have to be against, working people, fighter, artist, etc etc ... I envy these people, black people because they envy the freedom struggles, being fully human being like us whites .. inside we are all equal .... and out each choose how we want to show to others ... Long live the art! these people live, which echo the best music of all time .... sorry for my english... i spanish

[JoanHex]

el pueblo blanco siempre presionando al pueblo negro etc etc.. yo no se porque se tiene que estar en contra, de gente trabajadora, luchadora, artista etc etc... yo envidio a estas personas, envidio al pueblo negro porque luchan por su libertad, siendo totalmente ser humanos como nosotros los blancos.. todos somos iguales por dentro.... y por fuera cada uno elegimos como queremos mostrarnos ante los demás... viva el arte!! viva esta gente, que a echo la mejor musica de todos los tiempos....

[TheDarksideLord]

fuck you OP

[Tinkerbelllover12213]

This song is freaking awesome!!!!

[inocente106]

20 peeps have dial ups..

[AnimeJay96]

the 20 ppl that hate this song is soooo totally g@y

[rbreton59]

I did not hear about his death and I read the online news daily, very sad, he was such a talent. My mother and I use to listen to him on am radio in the days. R.I.P.

[acidfreak2]

this song is AMAZING!!! :D

[mooseydeucy]

Met him when I moved to Nashville. He frequented the same wine store I did. "Colonial" Peace Bro.

[vladamirtod11211]

finnaly first some one had the doobie bros as the person who made this.. WRONG

[TheEliminator16]

This Video: 550,000 views

Justin Bieber: 332,000,000 views

What the hell is wrong with this picture?

[Grandpablingbling]

@TheEliminator16 that you know how many views she has :D lol

[MrWinston1654]

@TheEliminator16 - sorry but J.B. has near 700,000,000 views on just one of his videos

[DBZAMV4FUN]

@TheEliminator16 Lol

[GuitarosaurusRex]

@TheEliminator16 It's an evil world......

[GrizzlyGreenLC]

@TheEliminator16 There is too much greed in the music industry. They don't care about quality music anymore. You'll never hear something like this being composed these days. Makes me sad..

[agbugger]

@TheEliminator16 You're an idiot. 

[TheEliminator16]

@agbugger Why, sir? At least you're knowledgeable enough to use the correct "you're". What did I do to earn your ire?

[agbugger]

@TheEliminator16 Who cares how many views Justin Beiber has?

Popularity has nothing to do with talent. You're comparing a modern popstar and teen sensation to a dead guy who had a hit almost 40 years ago.

Not to mention that your comment was horribly unoriginal and is basically on every single music video...

I wouldn't care if this video had 1 view.

[ilikepie930]

@agbugger Thank you for telling it how it is

[fisherrd3]

@agbugger ty

[georgepatton93]

@agbugger i have to agree with you because although Justin Bieber sucks but we should not be wasting our strength on him. Instead we should use our abilities to continue what people like Dobie had done and past it on to the next generation. Great artists must not be forgotten

[calli910]

@agbugger i love old music wish it was are generation generation generation generation generation generation generation and i hate justen he is gross im realy a countery girl i wish i was 16 but im only 12 unforinitley i and i want to spell better sorryt about that

[vGBoondock]

@TheEliminator16 Umm, there's more dumbass people in the world than we thought?

[TrippySkunk]

@TheEliminator16 older people still have records, cassettes and cds. the new generation uses youtube.

[mgr800]

@TheEliminator16 LAY OFF BITCH, DOBIES GOT TALENT, JUSTINS GOT TALENT, WHY YOU GOTTA COMPARE. APPLES N ORANGES OKAY.

[kerry0010]

@mgr800 maybe... now dont shoot me because this is just a hunch, but maybe justin bieber actually doesnt have talent.

[thortun15]

@TheEliminator16 more like what's wrong with this world

[fisherrd3]

@TheEliminator16 do we see this on the news, nope, do we see bieber on the news, yes, simple solution, put this one the news and people will listen to this more

[mrbutterat]

one of my favorite songs from my K-Tel record back in the day.

[Ihateopp]

For some reason I always used to think that Bob Seger sang this song.

[ThatGirlUOB]

@Ihateopp I believe he did a cover

[jtwad]

Great song, you can understand every word he sings.......he'll be missed......

[Getrealpeeps]

AWWWW MAAAAAN, I JUST FOUND OUT HE RECENTLY DIED DAAAMN (ALL OF OUR GREAT ONES ARE LEAVING US WAAAAY TOO SOON) 12/6/11 REST IN PEACE, Lawerence Darrow Brown AKA Dobie Gray. When I was a little kid, I used to think the name of this song was "Free My Soul" .....

[over700songs]

these songs like this, that still stand the test of time...

also put perspective on the passage of time and specific moments in our lives.

sometimes too much perspective and too much passage but...

its a tremendous song, with a tremendous performance and it helped make life a little bit better every time i heard it.

[FordoF5]

@over700songs Well said. This song will stand the test of time :)

[Chookie369]

Great song. Haven't heard it since I was a kid!

[abcz4086]

HE WILL BE MISSED FOREVER WITH HIS ROCK N ROLL

[abcz4086]

now all i hav to say is... R.I.P A.K.A rest in peace

[abcz4086]

its so sad ive been listening to this song seence i was 6 now im 12 how sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus the fact that he died makes me want to CRY :-'( i need a tissue

[PatriotBorn]

Dobie one of the top five male vocalist ever period! David Ruffin was another all time favorite of mine....

[midnitecowgirl2]

wonderful song , brings back alot of good memories !!

[JustinSage]

Dobers! All from the heart.

[iluvwickedandelphie]

R.I.P dobie this song speaks to me it makes realize the good things in my life

[jimmyjames6440]

When did he die?

[masterbigfoot]

Dobie put his soul in this song and because of that he will be immortalized

[grapesfirst90]

20 people didn't like this?! Good Gosh! What are they drinking?! Anyway, for the rest of us with a heart, Dobie did his thing. It's evident in this song; what a terrific strong and melodic voice. RIP Mister Gray; and no....'thanks for the joy you gave us'. Yep; Rock & Roll FREED HIS SOUL!

[lawlward]

always have loved the oldies. such an amazing song. R.I.P. Dobie Gray! Your soul has been freed

[kontheninja]

This is possibly....No...It IS the greatest song ever written.....Ever.

[sealessnlv]

i beleive in your song.....

[tim24tn]

One of my all time favorites. Doesn't get much better than this.

[PhantomLyric]

To this day, I still think he had more soul than anyone who sang this song... For everyone else, including the original, it seemed to be a bunch of words but it seems he meant it! Dear God... You can't fake this type of genius.

[theOnyFUFU]

@PhantomLyric he WAS the guy that game up with it! lol...you would hope that he sang it best! haha...i mean he did & that's why no cover even comes close to the passion and soul he brought to the way he sang it

[upperdarbybill]

@theOnyFUFU Can't always go with that rule. For instance, "All Along The Watchtower". Origin; Bob Dylan. Adopted and smashed blasted the airwaves ever since; Jimi Hendrix. I could go on but you know.

[upperdarbybill]

@PhantomLyric You have to be correct. After reading your post I seem to recall others but Dobie's version was the big hit that surly got him notoriety.

[johnvndonut]

This song is one of my earliest memories. I hate American Idol, but I am so happy that it brought this brilliant song and unattainable performance back into popular culture. Still, every time I hear it.... WOW.

[Treklady]

Great song...rest in peace.

[no1nonna]

Thanks for the joy you've given me :) R.I.P. Dobie Gray xo

[VikingLady219]

I absolutely love this song!

[quickjazz55]

[chicagoSUGANO]

This is when Pop Music sent a message with a life lasting impact, They told stories that lingered & entertained. What a Classic contributor to entertainment was dear Dobie Gray.

[surf7lakemich1]

@chicagoSUGANO well said

[OtherTwin]

[bobsgirl61]

[countrybill45]

I like all kinds of music, and 'Drift Away' is one of greatest songs of any genre I've ever heard.

R.I.P Dobie, and thank you for the music.

[dartvader117]

brought a tear to my eye

[MRYUMA]

God bless Dobie Gray, he is with God now. He will be able to sing loud. The lord has a great singer.

[otis123redding]

RIP to a great singer....our loss.........

[xXdrummer90xX]

R.I.P Dobie.

[maxaroo77]

"Thanks for the joy you've given me. Want you to know I believe in your song."

Like all great songs, this one smoothed out some rough times...and still does.

RIP Dobie.

[mulefanca]

rest in peace

[ikoiko2631]

I told my brother, when it's my turn to take a "dirt nap", I want this song played as they throw my pine box in the hole....awsome

[Aggromerchant]

@ikoiko2631

I'm with you.

You should be a funeral director, by the way. Or a grief counselor.

[cuteblondecrystal]

R.I.P. - I always heard your song in restaurants and other places.. Great song!

[bksalazar1]

beautiful

[TheiTerry]

I Wish my generation knew good music although there is a few great artists out there now, our society has been plagued with horrible music.
