The man had pipes. I watch the news every morning, but didn’t hear he passed. A one hit wonder from 1 974 doesn’t make the main stream news, but a great song is a rare thing… IMO. and a great singer to match makes it even greater.
I love this song. I love the vulnerability of the lyric, and the passion of in the voice. Got some good memories of this song. Nevada or Arizona desert, hearing this song and singing out loud. hell… noone is listening, and I can’t sing. its all I got. Dogs can’t howl at 70 mph. 🙂 Rip the throttle, and open the heart up. I can see it in my mind, and feel it in my heart.
and I googled dobie gray tonight. Guess he died 4 days ago. RIP dobie gray. you moved me man.
So I surfed a little youtube and listened to this song; listen to this. if you’ve got a woman you love and care for, how could this not be an anthem to her?
So glad you posted about Dobie Gray. I have had "Drift Away" on my laptop for quite some time and listen to it regular. He had a wonderful voice. Like alot of artist from my time, little to no mention is made in the news if they haven't been in the rags lately. We miss out on some great people's passing due to this. Thanks for sharing:)
