RIP Dobie Gray

No word yet on how he died but his site had the intro as this: RIP Dobie Gray (1940-2011) so on that note, drift away, Dobie, drift away:

Damn, it's turning into a sad year with all of these blessed people passing on to glory, I'll say a prayer for all the families that are still here in their time of mourning. R.I.P. Mr. Gray, I want to be lost in your Rock & Roll.

I'm glad this man wasn't ashamed to be black and do a song that was technically country rock/country soul and that it became a huge hit for him. smile For that, he gets my respect. Again rest in peace, Dobie. smile

"Drify Away" was his biggest hit every soft-rock radio station had this song on their playlist.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
