I grew up down the block from Mr. Drake in Great Neck, NY in the 60s and 70s, but it wasn't until I had moved away as an adult that I learned that I had been living so close to such an incredibly talented person!

TenStarsplus!!!!! OMG!!! This gentleman is peerless!!! Too bad there won't be another 91 years for this man who is a class act!!! His music contains some of my all time lifetime favorites, and I like almost all genres, from classical music to heavy metal and new age!! Thank you so much for posting this fantabulous video of this man who is the epitome of beautiful music!!! I hope he's still alive and writing more of these beautiful works of art!!!! Stephen

Thank you for sharing.

How fortunate to share musical memories of some of Ervin Drake's wonderful songs that reach back nearly 50 years. Some great lyrics in those days.

Pretty neat that you even harmonized with him.
