"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 in 1972. However, Dobie Gray's cover is the most well known version. It became Gray's biggest hit in 1973, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.
Enjoy!!!!!! :D
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away..........
Enjoy and stay free! ;)

Man, nothing defines an era better than music. Every time I listen to music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, it just makes me wish I was there in the flesh. THere was so much great music being made then. That being said, I wonder if anyone will listen to the music of the past 11 years and wish they were here? Doubtful.

I can't believe this song only peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. And I'm sure there are PLENTY of others out there that would agree with me.
Definitely in my top 3 favourite songs of all time (probably Top 2)
