My dad died when I was 10. This is the only song I remember listening to in the car with him. He turned it up and goes (this was the 90s) "hey kid, this is real music". Every time I hear it in the car, I know he's with me. I've never seen this "live". Amazing.
I LOVE your memory of your sweet dad and this amazing song you shared. Your dad was telling the absolute truth. Thank you for sharing. Dobie Gray has pipes and not the fake stuff now.
I am 40 years old. Played and sung for 30, forgot more tunes than I've learned- at least 50+ of my mine included. This is my favourite song of all time.
If you don't get chills from the music of my era, the 70's, where it didn't matter what color you were you just made music and we loved you for it. This song takes me back to so many back roads, barn parties, and road trips in the last cool peaceful decade of teenagers.
Yeah, you could hear new Stevie Wonder, Deodato (2001 theme song) and Led Zeppelin on the same FM station. Now we hear most of that on classic rock or oldies stations. Good luck finding Deodato on the radio though 😂I’d love to hear someone play In The Year 2525. We won’t make it that long the way things are going. Only AI and roaches will survive 🤣
I agree with you that this song is amazing, but I dislike when people (especially white folks) assume that back then it didn’t matter what color you were. This was still the late 60s/early 70s and color did matter to a lot of people. Older people from that era like to always talk about the “good old days” as if racism didn’t exist.
I used to listen to this song with my grandmother all the time as a kid. Some of my fondest memories are her picking me up from school and riding home with this song in the background. I lost her when I was 9 to breast cancer and still cherish those moments. Please take care of your guys’ old timers there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to experience one more day like that.
This is one of six songs I would have to have on a deserted island and interesting Paul Williams' brother, Mentor wrote it. I'm so glad Dobie got a hold of it. Though Drift Away was recorded by Mike Berry and John Henry Kurtz before him, Dobie made it an international hit and his own biggest hit in 1973, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dobie sadly passed in 2011 at age 71. His soul, talent, and great spirit is and always will be missed.
I was lucky enough to have been an avid fan of Dobie, this was my favorite song in 6th grade, yes, I am 60 and remember ALL of the good music. Still loving life, my family, and partying!!
I teared up watching this. To see everyone just sitting there and enjoying the beautiful music played and sung to them by amazing musicians. I'm 19 years old and my God how I wished i was born just a few decades back from my birth year. Awesome tune brother Dobie!!
JAY SQUARED You're alive now and young: lucky you! Maybe you could learn to play some real music, or speak out about what you like and don't like. Sometimes I wish I was born long ago. But we have so much more medical advancements now.. Anyhow, your comment is much appreciated, rock on.
@JAY SQUARED: Many of us who *were* around to watch this when it was first broadcast wish we could travel a few decades back in time and live it all again. How fortunate for all of us, young and old alike, that these recordings, films, and videos exist to allow us to see and hear Dobie Gray and other people of generations past perform again as often as we wish!
I wish I was his neighbor in happyland. I would have a bad day. I'd bring steaks and booze to his deck. We'd all dink eat and be merry errassing the days poisons . Then I'd say...HEY! SING ME A SONG. I'D BE GOOD UNTIL MONDAY. THEN ..REPEAT. HA HA!
My cat is very sick and im just waiting for the moment. For the last 3 days im playing him the song, and every time he open his eyes and giving me hope and joy, that he is still here and we are listening this beutiful song together.
I've never heard this song and not stood up and sang along... One of the greatest songs ever written about how music moves people! Unreal song! Performed by the perfect soul to unleash it!
God, this was the best era of music for everybody. I wish I was born before I was. I'll turn 12 in less than a month and I still remember my dad and I used to listen to songs like this until he went batshit crazy with the alcohol and his plug. This song is great!
This has been one of my al -time favorite songs of all time ever since it was first released about half a century ago. I never knew this videos existed until about 5 minutes ago. *THANK YOU, CAT MAN!!!* I am eternally in your debt.
When you see artists do their thing live, it's so much more impressive. Neil Young Live at the BBC is unreal when you see him do Old Man and Heart of Gold by himself is chilling to think that so much talent is allowed to be encompassed by one body! Same here! in the released version, there are strings covering the soft spots of the song whereas here a Hammond does the job perfectly! It's just fantastic how talented people can be and can go about doing their jobs so well! ... not to mention what a beautiful song this is!
Me and Ben Benay, Eddie Greene, Tom Hensley and Greg Mathiason back in the good old days of playing live on TV without autotune! Before computers y'all! Cheers!
I hadn't heard that he passed on. What of and when, out of curiosity? I always wondered what became of him but never heard before now. Sad.I have always loved this song and no other version will do!
Damn 8 days before my birthday, I'll make sure this year's celbration includes him in my lineup of musics while I'm enjoying another birthday drunk and alone :\ Some reason this song calls to me every fuckin time I hear it and brings me to tears, not sure if they're happy or sad. This song just fills me with so many different emotions I don't know what I'm feeling.
Joe Schmo Joe Smoe do some push-ups & wipe your tears boy. You should like a bitch stole your heart 40 years ago, move on you sound like a little bitch!!!!
I love this song and his voice, but I really dig (maybe sadly) Uncle Kracker's with Dobie Gray's voice subtly backing him. Nobody will do this song like Dobie did but Uncle K did the best cover IMO.
The heart and soul of this man, absolutely brilliant...... This song makes you think there could be a better world out there if we all just got it together 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
All that Great Guitar work on this song was done by the late great Reggie Young recorded at American Studios. He made up all the Guitar work on his on! By the way he is responsible for hundreds of hits by 100's of great Artist at that studio. Oh and by the way, just want to mention he could not read a note of music! RIP Reggie Young.
What a great talent and great man. I met him back in 1999, and doing some work at a friend's studio that he also worked out of some. Wow! He had such a great voice. He was such a warm and just wonderful person. He is missed. Rest In Peace!
Man Dobie Gray was the real deal man he was a genuine article God bless him something about this song makes me see like a video real like from the intro of The Wonder Years with Joe Cocker singing Little Help from My Friends but it's way different in the sense that I see everybody from around the 60s and that time and the Vietnam War and then people coming home from the war and just family living together dealing with s*** but at least it's breathtaking is any Norman Rockwell painting and absolutely everything that represents Americana and in what it what it really stands for you can feel it exemplified in this music whether the lyrics say this or not is not my point it's just what I feel that is what is evoked in my soul in my in my mind is this this film real it's nostalgic it's bittersweet it's got everything but just such a heartfelt song the song and it says so much with so little anyway I know you can't say anything you can't say anything enough to really even quite say it's so good it was like hands to them from God because it was meant to be so just my two cents not that it makes a damn difference in the sight of something that is so beautiful
I love this arrangement, especially the organ. The studio version included strings instead, but the I think the organ fits the song much better. Strings were over-used in the 70s, in my humble opinion. And the drummer was fantastic. Dobie Gray was a massive talent.
Day after day I'm more confused Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose And I'm feelin' the strain Ain't it a shame Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind And I'm countin' on you To carry me through Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song And rhythm and rhyme and harmony You've helped me along Makin' me strong Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Na na na, won't you, won't you take me Oh, take me
The Midnight Special was the best tv show for popular music in the 1970's. Dobie Gray does a great version on this video. The drummer is pouring it on. Thanks for posting and sharing such an uplifting and wonderful video.
This song has always been special to me. It so aptly describes my life-long love for music. Mentor Williams, Dobie Gray - thank you for so beautifully describing what is in my heart.
Absolutely fantastic! This is so good! No one can do it quite as good as Mr Dobie did it!👍. It has aged very gracefully and will sound just as good a thousand years from now! Love it..always have…always will! 💙🙏🏻💚
In honor of songwriter, Mentor Williams, who passed away recently. Williams wrote and produced Dobie Gray's '73 classic, "Drift Away" "Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul, I want to get lost in your rock'n' roll." He also worked with Paul McCartney at the Record Plant and at Apple Studios with Gerry Rafferty and Stealers Wheel. He was also the long time romantic partner of Lynn Anderson("Rose Garden"). th-cam.com/video/URw11Td8Zy0/w-d-xo.html
bill stewart, great song, beautiful voice and style of Dobie Gray, i have heard this very song many times, but didn't know who wrote or who sang this song. Words are so true.. i want to get lost and just drift away....✌💜🎶🎶
Brings back memories of what music use to be riding in The car on long trips outside with the 8 track playing singing every word of every song man i could use some good old days right now kids these days just dont have a clue what good music is. All they want to do is be video gaming playing with their cellphone or thinking their the coolest kid on the sreet with the newest pair of Nike's
So thankful that I was raised listening to MUSIC like this and not so much of the contemporary trash. My infant son will have heard hundreds of Dobie Gray songs before he hears one word of mumble rap, auto tune, or some other nonsense
Just loved Midnight special, My band would practice till 11:00, then run up and watch all the midnight specials, we were addicted to it and would learn the songs on the spot so we could play them the next week!!! Just the best!!! Wish it would come back!
My God, I miss those days when entertainers sang with their hearts wide open and their clothes on.
Dobie’s version will always be the original Drift Away. An absolute masterpiece!
My dad died when I was 10. This is the only song I remember listening to in the car with him. He turned it up and goes (this was the 90s) "hey kid, this is real music". Every time I hear it in the car, I know he's with me. I've never seen this "live". Amazing.
I LOVE your memory of your sweet dad and this amazing song you shared. Your dad was telling the absolute truth. Thank you for sharing. Dobie Gray has pipes and not the fake stuff now.
Amen, Sister Eva. Thank you for sharing your memory. Such a superb song as a listen to it for the fourth time in a row.
Your dad was so right!
Very sorry you lost him so young. He had impeccable musical taste. Hope life is good and you’re well.
We’re gonna talk about that killer bass tone and that awesome bass player? Whoever that guy is he’s got the perfect tone right there.
Out of all the bass tones that exist, that is an excellent one.
I am 40 years old. Played and sung for 30, forgot more tunes than I've learned- at least 50+ of my mine included.
This is my favourite song of all time.
If this song doesn't give you chills, you're lying! RIP Mr. Gray, what a damn beautiful song.
70s were best years I ever lived.. Wish they were here today..Sad what a world we now have..
This is the song I played over & over again after my husband died. And I still do, 10 years later. 💙💙
If you don't get chills from the music of my era, the 70's, where it didn't matter what color you were you just made music and we loved you for it.
This song takes me back to so many back roads, barn parties, and road trips in the last cool peaceful decade of teenagers.
All that mattered back then was being YOU. That’s why this era is so attracting to those who never saw a glimpse of it.
I can imagine it was a great era to live in you older guys had it lucky wish I could've been part of that generation
Yeah, you could hear new Stevie Wonder, Deodato (2001 theme song) and Led Zeppelin on the same FM station. Now we hear most of that on classic rock or oldies stations. Good luck finding Deodato on the radio though 😂I’d love to hear someone play In The Year 2525. We won’t make it that long the way things are going. Only AI and roaches will survive 🤣
I agree with you that this song is amazing, but I dislike when people (especially white folks) assume that back then it didn’t matter what color you were.

You have the right of it there...when they're gone, they're gone. The music, memories and hope is the only way to live again ♥️🖖🙏🤘
Dobie Gray was one of the finest singers of his generation.
Viva the memory and music of Dobie Gray.
This is one of six songs I would have to have on a deserted island and interesting Paul Williams' brother, Mentor wrote it. I'm so glad Dobie got a hold of it. Though Drift Away was recorded by Mike Berry and John Henry Kurtz before him, Dobie made it an international hit and his own biggest hit in 1973, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dobie sadly passed in 2011 at age 71. His soul, talent, and great spirit is and always will be missed.
I remember when this came out, it blew us all away
I'm sorry absolutely no one will ever sound as good as Mr Dobie Grey with this song
Amen!
This song never gets old.
Music can truly be an incredible blessing that brings back some sacred memories ✨
Not sure you know this ... but this is the greatest song ever made
I was lucky enough to have been an avid fan of Dobie, this was my favorite song in 6th grade, yes, I am 60 and remember ALL of the good music. Still loving life, my family, and partying!!
Not only was Dobie a great singer, he was one good looking tall dude.
You can feel this man's soul when he sings. Very underrated singer!
I teared up watching this. To see everyone just sitting there and enjoying the beautiful music played and sung to them by amazing musicians. I'm 19 years old and my God how I wished i was born just a few decades back from my birth year. Awesome tune brother Dobie!!
Gracefully said.

It was special indeed. Every musician sang songs live exactly as recorded. No computers just pure talent enhanced by practice practice practice.
This is great music, but if you want to excel at your respective instrument you learn the language of RUSH.
A KIND WARM SOULFUL SONG BY SOMEONE WHO COULD ACTUALLY SING.
I wish I was his neighbor in happyland. I would have a bad day. I'd bring steaks and booze to his deck. We'd all dink eat and be merry errassing the days poisons
. Then I'd say...HEY! SING ME A SONG.
I'D BE GOOD UNTIL MONDAY.
THEN ..REPEAT. HA HA!
“To believe in God is to know that all the rules will be fair, and that there will be wonderful surprises.”
- Ugo Betti
🎵 Fantastic bass playing by Mike Leech🎼🎶.
I dont care how this young man sings this song - he is the only one who can sing it
Who made you the music nazi?
@@babel232 shut up. He’s right. Go away.
My cat is very sick and im just waiting for the moment. For the last 3 days im playing him the song, and every time he open his eyes and giving me hope and joy, that he is still here and we are listening this beutiful song together.
The quality of Dobie's voice was so gorgeously soulful and earthy. What a beautiful man he was.
I've never heard this song and not stood up and sang along... One of the greatest songs ever written about how music moves people! Unreal song!
Performed by the perfect soul to unleash it!
We GOTTA sing along!
I was only 11 when this song first hit the airwaves, the am heydays, but still recall this song very well. Awesome!
💚 🙏 Dobbie Gray 1940-2011, rests in blissful, eternal peace 💚🙏
Wow, he sounded record-perfect live. I think I'm in love. 💚
One of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever it comes on when I'm driving, I turn it up and sing it full volume. RIP Dobie, and thank you.
Certain songs stick in your head from those long away days and this is one for me
God, this was the best era of music for everybody. I wish I was born before I was. I'll turn 12 in less than a month and I still remember my dad and I used to listen to songs like this until he went batshit crazy with the alcohol and his plug. This song is great!
Someone mentioned the bass player. My my what a sound. Rolling along . Cosmic, beautiful playing 👍👍👍
This has been one of my al -time favorite songs of all time ever since it was first released about half a century ago. I never knew this videos existed until about 5 minutes ago. *THANK YOU, CAT MAN!!!* I am eternally in your debt.
Great tune & vocals. Tight band & of course the guitar player is fantastic.
2021! Still a great song!
One of the all time great songs.
When you see artists do their thing live, it's so much more impressive.

It's just fantastic how talented people can be and can go about doing their jobs so well!
... not to mention what a beautiful song this is!
Every time I hear this song and I remember when it came out it touched everyone and still does and forever will.
i thought it was just me 😅
Dobie gave this song a soul
17/4/21 song still awesome , such an emotional song , but so upbeat ,this is what talent is .
One of the all time unforgettable songs ❤️
Along time ago but I feel like it was yesterday. Great times.
Damn ,they seriously nailed it .
Beautiful voice, beautiful song and what a beautiful man. Rest in Peace, Dobie Gray.
Me and Ben Benay, Eddie Greene, Tom Hensley and Greg Mathiason back in the good old days of playing live on TV without autotune! Before computers y'all! Cheers!
Thank You Sir.
no one and i mean NO ONE will ever make / remake a beat that this one has thats so soothing ....... sad he had to go ...... rip my man
I hadn't heard that he passed on. What of and when, out of curiosity? I always wondered what became of him but never heard before now. Sad.I have always loved this song and no other version will do!
Jeanne Hipp,
He died on December 6, 2011 in Nashville, at age 71. He had died from complications of a surgical procedure to remove cancer.
Damn 8 days before my birthday, I'll make sure this year's celbration includes him in my lineup of musics while I'm enjoying another birthday drunk and alone :\ Some reason this song calls to me every fuckin time I hear it and brings me to tears, not sure if they're happy or sad.

The heart and soul of this man, absolutely brilliant......
This song makes you think there could be a better world out there if we all just got it together 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
After all these years, I still love this wonderful song, he does it so well, thank you you lovely man 🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿
I grew up listening to Dobie Gray,and I love his smooth,soulful voice to this day.Beautiful.
It just doesn't get any better !

Love that man's voice.
Try to find a song that beautiful these days. Now it's all production.
HOW IN THE WORLD COULD YOU NOT LIKE THIS ?????
Pure Soul 🙏 Fantastic performance of the Legendary singer Dobie Gray 🎶
Have loved this song since I first heard it years ago!
Man Dobie Gray was the real deal man he was a genuine article God bless him something about this song makes me see like a video real like from the intro of The Wonder Years with Joe Cocker singing Little Help from My Friends but it's way different in the sense that I see everybody from around the 60s and that time and the Vietnam War and then people coming home from the war and just family living together dealing with s*** but at least it's breathtaking is any Norman Rockwell painting and absolutely everything that represents Americana and in what it what it really stands for you can feel it exemplified in this music whether the lyrics say this or not is not my point it's just what I feel that is what is evoked in my soul in my in my mind is this this film real it's nostalgic it's bittersweet it's got everything but just such a heartfelt song the song and it says so much with so little anyway I know you can't say anything you can't say anything enough to really even quite say it's so good it was like hands to them from God because it was meant to be so just my two cents not that it makes a damn difference in the sight of something that is so beautiful

One of my favorite songs
I Will always L❤V E this SONG, THIS VERSION!!! Thanks Dobie Gray for singing this beautiful song!
Rest in Paradise !!! 🙏
R.n Peace Dobie,you made magic happen with this song.Bless you my man.
So young....his voice was just superb
By far, the best man for this song..
Loved this song rip Mentor Williams thanks for giving us such a great song
What a beautiful man... Beautiful song.
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you
To carry me through
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Na na na, won't you, won't you take me
Oh, take me
Everything about this video is beautiful
Beautiful 🌹 I want to drift away...
The Midnight Special was the best tv show for popular music in the 1970's. Dobie Gray does a great version on this video. The drummer is pouring it on. Thanks for posting and sharing such an uplifting and wonderful video.
The 70's had some of the best musicians of all times.Thank you!
The drummer is my younger brother, his playing is so recognizable and he's 64 and still playing his heart out
And who was the bassist on this? When they hit the tag, he flies! Beautiful, free playing.
Jorey Krawczyn Fantastic! The whole band was worthy of the singer, which is saying something.
😪
Amazing. Loved it.
wow beatiful voice..
No one will ever be as great as the original on this great song. R.I.P. sir.
Technically this wasn’t the original
That ending note he sang was awesome, great show
Ooowww..it's the woof man...I love me some Dobie Gray.
This song has always been special to me. It so aptly describes my life-long love for music. Mentor Williams, Dobie Gray - thank you for so beautifully describing what is in my heart.
Thank you for posting this. Timeless song, RIP Dobie...
Goose bumps and watery eyes - so beautiful and moving!!!
Amen, Brother Al.
Absolutely fantastic! This is so good! No one can do it quite as good as Mr Dobie did it!👍.
It has aged very gracefully and will sound just as good a thousand years from now!
Love it..always have…always will! 💙🙏🏻💚

Grew up with this great song, awesome.
Great song. I respect him. He's a natural singer. Great voice n talent.
Brings back memories of what music use to be riding in The car on long trips outside with the 8 track playing singing every word of every song man i could use some good old days right now kids these days just dont have a clue what good music is. All they want to do is be video gaming playing with their cellphone or thinking their the coolest kid on the sreet with the newest pair of Nike's
Easily one of the best songs of all time
So thankful that I was raised listening to MUSIC like this and not so much of the contemporary trash. My infant son will have heard hundreds of Dobie Gray songs before he hears one word of mumble rap, auto tune, or some other nonsense
The message behind this song is my life basically, I can't live without music
Love the fro. Always just loved this song.
one of my fave's from back in my hippie chic days
WOLF MAN JACK !!!!!!!!!!!!! COOL !!!!!!! YES THUMBS UP TO DRIFIT AWAY !!!!!
Just loved Midnight special, My band would practice till 11:00, then run up and watch all the midnight specials, we were addicted to it and would learn the songs on the spot so we could play them the next week!!! Just the best!!! Wish it would come back!
RIP DOBIE GRAY - 26.07.1940 - 06.12.2011 - Shared on G+, July 26, 2016 and 2018
Truly a classic. Reggie Young plated the intro on the studio version. May Almighty God have mercy on these 2 men.
Hey man .awesome glad someone recognizes Reggie. Americas greatest player imho.....who played it here live?
@@ougigaming8710 Ben Benay
One of my all time favorites!!! Working on it to put in my song list but THIS ONE has to be perfect; Dobie deserves nothing less!!! Bob Trice
I love the B3 backup! Great version!
