"Drift Away" is a song written by Mentor Williams in 1970 and originally recorded by British singer and actor Mike Berry on his 1972 album Drift Away. A version by John Henry Kurtz was released two months later in November 1972.[1][2] Mentor Williams was a country songwriter, and John Henry Kurtz was an actor and swamp rock singer. It was later given to soul singer Dobie Gray for whom it became a surprise international hit. In 1973, the song became Gray's biggest hit, peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and receiving a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Zkye's Bits We play this song at most of our duo gigs or on the off chance I do a solo gig, I'll play it. It's another fave of mine. I love singing it but I also love Dobie Gray's version coz of his fab voice. I'll be honest, I haven't heard the other versions that I've listed but I'm going to coz I always find that interesting to see what little twists others put on tunes. Enjoy! Welcome to "The Bare Sessions". Oh and why the big bear. We have a giant teddy bear I saved that was dumped in a quarry near where we live (I believe teddy bears should never be dumped, so I'll save them, clean them up and give them a new home). Barrington lives on our back deck and is well known to everyone so we thought he could be a part of it all Zkye - Vocals\Piano ‪@zkyecompson-harris422‬ Equipment Used AKG Condenser Microphone iPhone 13 Software used in this video Audio - Logic Pro Video - Edited by Zkye on Davinci Resolve Video Editor Zkye.com.au
