Durante los 1960's, al mudarse a California, conoce a Sonny Bono, yunta que pronto le conseguiría su primer sencillo "Look at me". Más adelante, en 1965 "The 'In' Crowd" le brindaría prestigio internacional.
"Drift Away" es sin lugar a dudas un himno intemporáneo. En 1973 alcanzaría el #5 en Billboard y el #17 en el Hot 100 de ese mismo año. Su relanzamiento 30 años después, en un dúo con Uncle Kracker la colocaría en el #5 en Billboard y el #19 en el Hot 100.
Dobie Gray, Lynn Anderson y Mentor Williams.
Este último es el autor de "Drift Away"
Sin más preámbulo los dejamos con un clásico de 1973 en la sección musical de Retrogrados-TV:
Drift Away
Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
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
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
Oh, 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
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help 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
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
