This just made me look him up. I knew he had passed away but I didn't realize it's 11 years already. And it said when he passed he "donated 100% of his musical assets and royalties in trust to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to The Tennessee School for the Blind". What a special man. RIP.

I was 8 years old when this came out in 73. It is rare when a voice and a song like this come along, but when it does you appreciate it. I have appreciated this song and Dobie ever since. I still have the 45 of this(it's a record youngins). We need more of this type of music in the world for it would be a much better place. Simply, thank you all for doing this. Us older generation admire you younger folks for taking us back in time to simpler things. Much love.

Part of my teen years that I always remember whenever it gets played. Superior Asia and BJ! And I'm like you BJ. Rock and the Blues comforts my inward being if the song is right.

I think my all-time favorite quote by a musician was made by Dobie Gray. I was driving late at night back in the 60's,and he was being interviewed by a radio station dj,who asked him about the changes that have happened in his life since this song hit the air waves. Dobie thought about it for a few seconds,and said "Well,I have noticed that the girls treat me a lot differently now than they did when I was still working at the toilet seat factory". I lost it and almost ran off the freaking road due to laughing so hard.

So glad you guys did this. I absolutely love this song. It takes me back to about the 3rd grade. It was his biggest hit. He was an R&B singer that found more success on the country charts. I think Uncle Cracker covered it about 20 years ago. I have it on playlists on several platforms sandwiched between Otis Redding’s “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” and Noel Gourdin’s “The River”.
