I can STILL sing every word of this song! Unforgettable

One of the greatest songs ever written, perfect expression of how good music can sooth the soul, love you guys, keep the great music playing

It’s a shame we don’t have musicians like this anymore let’s thank God we have the music this is proof music with better than the olden days.

Lovin’ me some Dobie! He’s like cool lemonade on a warm summer’s evening with a soft breeze and kids chasing lightning bugs. Mmmmmm…

This song needs to be played a lot. Again… it was once played on the radio every day multiple times a day for a very long time. .. it’s just phenomenal… joyful… it’s what music should be… it’s one of the best songs ever written…

Congrats, you have just encountered one of the truly finest records of the '70s. The song expresses our love of great music, and the song itself is great music. Dobie Gray was a wonderful singer, and 1973 was a wonderful year for music.

Dobie the Great. So beautiful and soulful. I remember it well

Music does so much to soothe the soul.This song says it all.

My Man - such a great singer!!!! A great song - done by anyone who is anyone!!!

I was 12 in '72 when this song released on the radio. I honestly believe it was a seismic shift in my life. Absolutely outstanding, almost religious experience for me. Rock, R&B, Soul, Country all melded together. RIP Dobie. What a magical time.

Has frequently brought me to tears of happiness 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

Some of the greatest music ever written or performed!

This is called great music, thanks for playing it. People need to know there is great music out there,

An amazing song sung by an amazing artist. Like another comment, it's amazing that once you hear this a few times, you remember the words forever! Have you reacted to Dock of the Bay by Ottis Redding? If you haven't, it would be great if you would.

Hearing this song is like going to church and laying your burdens down. What a voice.

My favourite song of all time!!!!

one of my faves. you never forget. when music was real.

Beautiful this song , it never gets old . So soothing I love it❤

I was so lucky to grow up during the 60s and 70s. The hits just kept coming.

What you two said, Shawn and Mel, is a perfect tribute to Dobie Gray and this song. It was a MONSTER hit back in the early 1970s when it came out. Thanks for playing it for us. It is one of those songs you remember instantly and start singing as soon as it begins. We need more great blues based rock and roll in these miserably troubled times. Thank you once again. 💘🎸😎

A great, great oldie from my youth.

This man has one of the most beautful voices you'll ever hear. Talk about having a song and singer perfectly matched!

Absolutely one of my favorites.

I LOVE Dobby Gray!! Not recognized nearly enough these days.

I love me some Dobie Gray! Dobie really loved music in general. He loved Rock & Roll and he also loved Rhythm, Rhyme and harmony!

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs recorded in the 1970s, because the lyrics, singing, and instrumental work is so profound, meaningful, and emotionally authentic. Thanks for reacting to "Drift Away", by Dobie Gray, here on KZfaq. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

I've heard some good covers of Drift Away, but Dobie Gray will always be THE definitive performer. Such a beautiful voice, & so heartfelt.

I was about 10 years old when this song came out. It was my mind. It’s so good it’s still so good it’s timeless. It’s for every generation it’s for every genre. There is nobody in this world who does not like this song.

Unmistakable vocal range and soul of Dobie Gray.

Music is life, life is music. This song soothes the soul.

Wow. Haven't heard this in "I don't know how long". Can always count on you two to play some fabulous tunes from way back when. Thanks for the memories guys. ❤💙🇬🇧

Hey y'all, I'm an old white country boy who grew up in the '60's and 70's and everyone I know knew this song! This is one of the best songs of all time and best singers in my opinion! Shout out to you two! That was a great reaction from a great couple!

No matter what happens in your life..music never abandons you.

This has been one of my favorite songs for decades. It’s just a wonderful soothing song. So glad you have finally come across it and shared it.

This is one of the songs that 'time stamped' my senior year in high school. Came in early '73. Love it- just heard it today in the car on the radio- brought back a flood of memories.

Love Doobie... I mean Dobie. There is a nice vid of him singing this in a garden.

I'm 71 and this is one of those "perfect 70s song" that made me not want the decade to end,! ❤️

One of my all time favorites. Thank you guys!!

What an outstanding voice! I remember hearing this song from the stereo on my dad's ski boat while I was water skiing on Lake Augusta in Minnesota 1973! Love the memories! ☮️❤️

This song is damn near the perfect mix of styles. Blues, soul, R&B, rock n' roll. Great reaction thnx

This is one of the most stunning songs ever

One of my all time absolute favorites. Fantastic voice

out on the floor, the in crowd - northern soul classics from dobie 😍

One of the best songs ever written.

Oh this song has always blown me away. It makes a bad day better, calmer. Yes. Another singer, Paul Young singing "Wherever I Lay My hat", to me, does a similar thing.

SO happy to see you guys react to this one! One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. Another one by him that's little known is Let Me Go Til I'm Gone. Another wonderful song.

As an old white man, I can describe this song in two words.......ROCK ANTHEM. ✌❤

I always loved this song, and I love Uncle Kraker’s 90’s cover featuring Mr Dobie Gray himself !

Listen to the dramatics the best thing in my life. Come from DJ ICEMAGIC......

Such an old beautiful beautiful song that touches your soul. Thx for reaction sweet ppl! ❤

Great song and fantastic voice. One of my favorites growing up. Nothing like the 60' and 70's when it comes to music.

One of the best. The lyric "I don't understand the things I do", been there so many times.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

This song, Bennie and the Jets, Crocidile Rock, Little Green Apples and Them Changes will always be among my favorites.

Simply awesome, such a great vocal. Dobie was a winner and thank you for sharing your talent.

Before we even start, this is one of my dad's all time favourite songs. Love it.

I remember 1974, Mrs. Dewer's grade 7 music class. Bonnie (hot cool girl) put this transport vehicle on the record player and we all were taken to another place. Drift Away with Dobie Gray.

Very popular in the 70's, one of my favorites!

I hadn't heard this in so long! Thanks guys. I'm going to be singing the hook all day!

One of the best songs ever wrote! ✌❤🎶

YES! Rolling in those cars @ car shows now listening to A.M. radio! HOLLA if you hear me!

you love a song your entire life and you never even knew the name! thank you

This song makes you smile and always makes you feel good. It has a healing quality. It's the way Dobie sings it. Please react to Dobie Gray's 'Out on the Floor', a Northern soul classic.

I'm glad that you two are doing some fire reactions like this song again like you used to after taking awhile off and I hope that you guys and your family are doing good and are healthy now. Doby Gray had another big hit single called The In Crowd from 1965 that would be a great song to react to

Really! Just now getting around to one of the best songs and singers of all time? Whew! Better late than never.

This is the quintessential version of this song. It is a cover version, but it was the one that played on the radio when I was a kid. It has been covered by any people since from Uncle Cracker to Rascal Flats but Dobie Gray's is the song I would choose if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life. Been listening to for nearly fifty years. I used to play it in my classroom on a mixed tape during planning time and a co-worker who had never heard it before. Years later she emailed me to ask about that song she loved for that mixed tape. In the days before streaming and Shazam.

A beautiful song, great lyrics. We all have the song or musician that we put on when we need to get lost. Thank you great god for the gift of music. It has been my best friend many times in my life.

I used to go to a Baptist church with my grandmother when I was a boy. I remember they used to sing this there. Very fond memories.

This is the good music we grew up on ! Party On

Man, what a classic. I hadn’t heard it for quite awhile. I always remember his incredible voice but forgot how sweet the guitar is also. What a song..

Absolutely love this song!! One of my all time favorites! ❤️

I’m a year late to this video, but it’s hard to listen to this song without having a big smile. And it’s true. Hearing a song like this come on my shuffle would definitely give me a good day no matter what else happens haha!

This is back when you can listen to the music just for the sake of listening to the music and it would take you away from your troubles in your situations

Love playing this song when I'm subbing. Funny that so many of the kids know this song. Want it for my r.i.p.

Shawn and Mel, I grew up with this song and have loved it my entire life. But you taught me something today. I never knew, and never cared for that matter, because good music is good music, however, I didn't know Dobie Gray was a black man. It makes me appreciate the song even more. Thanks for bringing back the memories of my youth with this song. Now, I want to find out what other songs Dobie Gray had that I missed out on. That song alone should land him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in my opinion. Thanks again.

My go to song when I just want to be mellow. ❤❤❤❤❤

I love yall. So glad you're finding great music from the 70s. Try keep on Smiling

My grandma gave me this album on tape when I was 16. I loved it sooooo much! I'm so singin this so hard lol No matter what life throws at me, there are songs like this that really make life worth it. It's like give me the beat boys lol I had a hard childhood and it really was music like this that really helped me get through.

This song should be the theme song for your channel. It is the exact message you give before each reaction you do.

The very thing this song is about is what this song does for me. I get lost in it every time I hear it and leave with sense of hope for the future.

Love love love this guy

OMG!!! I love this song!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎

Thank you for giving Chuck Berry his due, he is the father of Rock and Roll! The teenyboppers loved Chuck back in the fifties and sixties! Check out the rockumentary, “Hail, Hail Rock and Roll, it really displays the genius and brilliance of this amazing musician! This was my parents music and I love it! He influenced many musicians that came after him, such as, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and many more!!❤️❤️

All I can say is MUSIC is AMAZING~!

Music is the universal language and Love is the Key, to peace, hope & understanding & living in harmony. This song takes yah on that journey. Perfect flow state.. ❤

Oh heck yeah! Great song. Great reactions!

Listen to this song when I was young great smooth voice

I have not heard this in years. Great song

if I could sing…, I would want to sing like that.

I remember playing basketball as a kid in Queens NY with this coming through the box. Clear as day

II warmes my heart ❤️ to hear 👂 music I grew up listening to. Thank you 🙏

Such a classic. Reminds me so much of the 70s.

Another song similar to this is “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash. You’d love it!

I could tell Shawn liked this, he was like I ain't pausing this masterclass of a song, 🤣👌

Takes me back to by early teens! Still remember ever word!

How great is that song? Love ya Dobie

We call y'all the new generation. I love how y'all this old school!!

Nice reaction! And kudos to Reggie Young for laying down the sweet guitar fills.

This is great music. What happened? This is the soul and the heartbeat of America what happened to these Great Men! Did you know you didn't hear nothing except his voice this man can ( SANG!)😁👍🇺🇸

Great reaction as always ya'll! 😊 I'd like to suggest another song I think you'll like. It's Jerry Garcia Band- My Sisters and Brothers. Jerry Garcia is from the band the Grateful Dead. It's just a positive song that always puts a smile on my face.
