Dobie Gray: Drift Away



Last week I chose Dobie Gray's The In Crowd. This, from 1973, was his other great hit.

There were only eight years between the two records, but so much has changed - not least the way Gray styles himself.

No doubt it is partly because I have grown older, but it does seem to me that youth culture moved at an unprecedented (and unrepeated) pace in the 1960s.

  1. Thanks for this, Jonathan - this was one of my favourite songs!
    Made me look it up - found that the Rolling Stones covered it too (unreleased), like Tina Turner and dozens of others who obviously felt similar about this song!

    wiki has info on it too!
