Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor
This is probably the single biggest and most acclaimed Northern Soul record of all time, and we filmed this performance for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul" in Nashville, in early 1999. Dobie is otherwise best known for his 1973 smash "Drift Away," Dobie Gray was a versatile vocalist who could handle soul, country, and pop, not to mention musical theater. Gray's origins are somewhat ill-defined; different sources alternately list his birth name as Leonard Victor Ainsworth or Laurence Darrow Brown, and his Texas birthplace as Brookshire or Simonton. His likely birth date is July 26, 1940 (though some sources list 1942 or 1943). Whatever the case, Gray grew up in a family of sharecroppers, and discovered gospel music through his grandfather, a Baptist minister. He also soaked up the R&B and country music of his surroundings, and in the early '60s he moved to Los Angeles to seek his fortune. Before adopting the name Dobie Gray, he recorded several singles under the names Leonard Ainsworth, Larry Curtis, and Larry Dennis. His seventh single, "Look at Me," became his first chart hit in 1963, but his true breakout was a 1965 recording of "The 'In' Crowd," whose Motown-style bounce distinguished it from jazzman Ramsey Lewis' celebrated version. Gray hit the Top 20 with "The 'In' Crowd" and also had some success with the follow-up, "See You at the Go-Go". "Out On The Floor" was not a hit in the US, and it was only years later that it became a cult classic. This period, spent <b>...</b>

Dobie Gray - Drift Away (Original Official Video)
(Read my blog post here: Read my blog post here: bit.ly Dobie Gray's version of "Drift Away" is, justifiably, the most famous and, by far, the most brilliant reading of the Mentor Williams-penned (that would be Paul Williams' brother) 70s staple. Originally released on John Henry Kurtz' 1972 REUNION album, the indelible classic always takes me away...to that far away place I used to reside -- within the deepest caverns of my soul. At times the song makes me weep, as I miss the halcyon days of my youth and the kinder world we thrived in. When any ills of the world would be swept away when reaching for your LP of your favorite music was all that was needed to, well, drift away. The song was covered hundreds of times these past 40 years, most famously and recently in a passionless 2003 recording by Uncle Kracker. Credited as Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray, the track meandered along in karaoke sterility until finally Gray's soul chimed in mid-point and he infused it with a thrilling tremble. When the track reached #9 on Billboard's Top 100, Gray broke the record for the biggest gap between top US top 10 appearances (it had been 30 years between both). The Kracker version had a far more major impact on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts -- it holds the record as the longest #1 on that chart, having reigned for 28 weeks in 2003-04. No doubt thanks to Gray. There was a story told by Kracker that the song was initially written for Elvis, but Presley turned it down once he <b>...</b>

The two appear together again in 1981 on "The Harlen Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island". Bob Denver passed away in 2005 at the age of 70. This may be a pre-spoof of Mission:Impossible!

Dobie Gray - We Had It All
This is a wonderful track from the "Drift Away" album. It was written by Donnie Fritts and Troy Seals. Elvis Presley loved it and considered recording it but felt that his fans would think he was singing about his ex-wife, Priscilla. So, he decided against recording it. A loss for us.

Dobie Gray -"Wish I'd Never Loved You"
"Wish I'd Never Loved You" was written by my friend Kim Morrison and her songwriting partner Ruby Hice Gold in 1981 for Dick James Music. Kim sent this demo version of the tune to me. It features the marvelous Dobie Gray, who passed away December 6, 2011, singing the vocal. The song was first recorded by Ray Charles & Gladys Knight on Ray's 1988 "Just Between Us" LP and later recorded by Blues singer Johnny Adams. It was included on two of Adam's albums "Room With A View Of The Blues" and "There Is Always One More Time". The song tells the story of a man moving on from a heartwrenching broken romance. Kim and Ruby's great lyrics, the pain in the wonderful vocal by Dobie, and a soulful sax solo from Doc James make this an emotionally charged song. I hope you enjoy the tune and will share the link. Thank you for watching.
