"DRIFT AWAY " Dobie Gray Acoustic Cover Version by: ARDIE SARAO
This another simple version of one of my all favorite classic song
by: DOBIE GRAY "Drift Away" (also known erroneously as "Give Me The Beat, Boys") is a song written by Mentor Williams and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz on his 1972 album Reunion. However, Dobie Gray's cover is by far the most popular version. It became Gray's biggest hit in 1973, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, though it did not enter the charts in the UK.
This song is also a famous "goodbye" or ending song for concerts. Its use is often as filler for a last song, usually in preparation for an encore, since it has a catchy beat and a guitar solo can be easily added to the end of the song in order to spice things up before the encore. As such, many live covers have been performed by a multitude of bands and it has become a hit among soft rock fans. Appropriately, it was the final pop hit for Decca Records in the United States.
Gray's version of Drift Away remains a staple on many classic rock stations.
