@RicoBurghFan3 years agoThis actually isn't the Doobie Brothers, it's by Dobie Gray, and it's called Drift Away, and he had a huge hit with it in 1974. As you said, Amber, it was covered by many artists, but as far as I know the Doobies weren't one of them. Please feel free to fact check me Rob Squad Family! ...885
@
@michaelakkerman4073 years ago100% Dobie Gray... such an iconic song. 179
@
@patriciadefibaugh9733 years agoThis is Dobie Gray, my favorite song of all time because music has seen me through happy and not so happy times. 9
@
@conniemckeown45519 months agoIt was written by Mentor Williams in 1970 & was originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. This is the recording by Dobie Gray and was a hit in 1973. It was never recorded by the Doobie Brothers. 3
@
@joeymcbrayer3 years agoThis is DEFINITELY Dobie Gray, not the Doobie Brothers. I’d bet my life on it! 164
@
@jwmson77913 years agoNot the Doobie Brothers but solo artist Dobie Gray and its “Drift Away.” You have to do Black Water by the Doobies!! 205
@
@jeffdetmer46813 years agoYeah not the Doobies. This was Dobie Gray. However doesn't take away from how good the song was and still is. Y'all still need to listen to The Doobie Bros. song Black Water. I think you will love it. Do that baby a favor from the minute he is born, or even before that lol. Play music from the 60s and 70s and then go back to the crooner and big band days. You guys might actually like the big band era. Lots of great horns and rhythms. Stay well!!! ...190
@
@rab693273 years agoWhen you said who you were reacting to I thought that I never knew the Doobie Bros covered this song but was excited to hear their version, but as soon as the first note played I knew instantly that it was no other than the Great Doby Gray. I absolutely love this song. Great reaction!!!! ...33
@
@deelawson45513 years agoThis is Dobie Gray.I love this song! I don`t know why they listed it like this.Also Doobie Brothers is definitely worth checking out again :) Keep On Rockin` 141
@
@johnhughesii51213 years agoNo mistaking that soulful voice....definitely Dobie Gray. As a child of the 60's and 70's I can tell you this song was played a lot on the radio. I have a suggestion for another song that got a lot of play in the 70s. Al Stewart-Year of the Cat, that has a vibe with instruments you both will love. It was released in 1975 which coincidentally or not was the year of the cat on the Vietnamese zodiac calendar. A song roughly based on the 1943 movie Casablanca. ...218

@
@robynmatheson76873 years agoThis is Dobie Gray, “ Drift Away”, early 1970’s. One of my high school songs 76
@
@chriso67193 years agoAccording to wikipedia, the song was written by Mentor Williams in 1970 and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. Dobie Gray covered it in 1973 It was called Drift Away. 45
@
@robertwatson28233 years ago"Drift Away" is a song by Mentor Williams written in 1970 and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz on his 1972 album Reunion. 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 and the best known version. ...23
@
@carylawson-le7og9 months agoI wanna thank amber for this song. This was my best friends and mine favorite song over in Iraq . He was killed right beside me in a firefight , which turned my brain to mush. This song was the only thing i could relate to in my recovery.i felt it was him encouraging me to go on. THANKS AMBER for this pick. You truely are an old soul sixties star child. ...2
@
@AnimeOtakuDrew3 years agoThe song is actually called "Drift Away." The original version was recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972, but the most iconic and widely known version (and my personal favorite version) was recorded a year later by Dobie Gray (and this is actually Gray's version, truth be told; I can't find any of the actual Doobie Brothers version on YouTube, they're all either Dobie Gray, Uncle Kracker, or Kurtz). Beautiful song though; I've always loved it! My recommendation this time is another song I think you guys will enjoy and feel as well. It's called "Little Bit O' Soul" by The Music Explosion. I can almost guarantee you'll love it! ...40
@
@robertbrooks6745last yearDolby grey is the original artist of this song. True title is,, Drift Away 5
@
@bobchandler71203 years ago"Drift Away" has also been covered by many bands and vocalists around the world. Versions include those of Clarence Carter, Uncle Kracker, Allan Clarke, Roy Orbison, Ike & Tina Turner, Humble Pie, Mud, Jackie DeShannon, Rod Stewart, James Hollis, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, the Neville Brothers, Jon Bon Jovi, Copperhead, Christian Kane, the Rolling Stones, the Nylons, Ringo Starr, Bruce Springsteen, BoDeans, Judson Spence, Billy Joe Royal, Steve Young and John Kay. Folk singer Tom Rush recorded the song on his album What I Know, released in 2009. The Rolling Stones recorded a cover of the song during the sessions for their It's Only Rock 'n Roll LP in 1974, but it did not appear on the finished album. The Heptones recorded a reggae version which is included on many compilation CDs. Street Corner Symphony also sang a version of this song as their swan song on the season 2 finale of the NBC series The Sing-Off; that version is arranged by Deke Sharon. Bon Jovi usually played the song live in 1987: a version was recorded as part of a Westwood One radio live series concert. Dolly Parton and Anne Murray performed the song together in 1976 on Parton's variety show Dolly!, though they sang the lyrics of the Felts' version ("I want to get lost in your country song"). Garth Brooks for the 2013 Blue-Eyed Soul album in the Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences compilation. Temuera Morrison recorded and included Drift Away in his 2014 debut album Tem. Country music star, Lynn Anderson (who was the partner of Mentor Williams who wrote the song), recorded a gospel version that was rewritten by Williams for her 2015 gospel album, Drift Away, which would become her final album. ...1

@charlieghostwolf61613 years agoYour remark about music being medicinal is more true than you know, studies have shown that learning and performing music continually creates new neural pathways in the brain 😎 57
@
@moriahwhite11883 years agoThis is the quintessential summer road trip song. Windows down, hands doing that wing thing, singing at the top of your lungs, with no destination in mind. 🤘🏻 19
@
@Looneyintheboonies3 years agoOh boy, this isn't the Doobies, it's Dobie Gray and the song is called "Drift Away". Man, did we ever wear out the 45 rpm of this song playing it on the record player. You guys don't make boo boos, so I'm curious, how did this happen? Is there a video out there with the wrong title and artist listed? There's got to be, Otherwise you wouldn't have called it that. Back to the song though, I'm sure the Doobie Brothers would be flattered. Its one of my all-time favorite songs and the chorus is one of the most sing-a-long choruses ever! When I heard Amber say "give me the beat boys", I knew there'd been a foo paw (hillbilly for " faux pas") and it had to be this song, and I was excited to hear it, so thanks, y'all!!! ...30
@
@karenpickford71123 years agoDobie Gray released his version in 1973 and that's the one I remember. My best friend's dad was a studio musician at that time and played the drums on the Dobie Gray version. He has a gold 45 of it hanging in their living room. His name was Kenny Malone and he did pretty well on the drums. :) ...4
@
@TrevorandThea3 years agoThree Doobies songs you need to do are “Long train running” “China Grove” and “Listen to the music” for their more southern rock sides. And the acoustic track “Black Water” is mind blowing too! 32
@
@karensilvera66943 years agoIf you're going to make a mistake make it a fabulous song and talented artist! Y'all are wonderful!! 17
@
@webstah23 years agoFYI, I was at a Submarine Veteran event yesterday and ran into an old shipmate I haven't seen since 1984. Turns out, we BOTH watch your channel. 6

@josephpedroza6323 years agoI love my life. To be around when these bands and these songs came out... To me the greatest time for music. 5
@
@katwalker6873 years agoDobie Gray sang this in the early 70s. Topped the charts. 9
@
@mdanam3 years agoThe song is called Drift Away. Originally done by Dobie Gray. Early seventies. I don't think this is the Doobie Brothers, this is the Dobie Gray version. For a cover version that's quite interesting Springsteen has one in concert ...33
@
@annewoodard68033 years agoI passed over this thinking it was a Doobie Brothers cover of Dobie Gray, glad I read the comments! Such a great song? 😁❤️ 5

@
@julieharden24333 years agoOf all of the songs that have gotten stuck in my head over my entire life, this song has gotten stuck in my head the most. I probably also holds the record for being stuck in my head the longest at any one time. It just pops in my head at random times. I'm not mad at it. I love this song. ...7
@
@mamagucci853 years agoI found Reaction videos because I'm going through it.. I had a stroke on August 13th 2017, and now they're telling me that I need neck & spinal surgery.

I've got you guys to help get me through ! THANK YOU 🙏🏼🙏🏼 (y'all are gonna get so sick of me lol) ...2

I stumbled on your channel and have grown to love you both. Thank you for the many smiles you’ve given me while I struggle with this. ❤️❤️ ...43
@
@muzikman43993 years agoYouTube contemporaries “Andy and Alex” have coined the term “Lost in the Sauce” for what you go thru when your lost in the sauce of the music of a song. The “Amber Sway” happens when she’s “Lost in the Sauce”! Love the channel and your reactions to the music you’re discovering! Keep up the good work! 🤘😎✌️💕 ...35

@robertcartier50883 years agoGotta say, Amber's mom did a great job introducing her to so much great music! 8

@reginairvine72993 years agoI love this song and Doby Gray! I know this may get me yelled at but Uncle Kacker covered this and has Doby Gray singing on it with him and did a fantastic job. 1

@
@ronnix233 years agoThis is a great song by Dobie Gray. Totally understanding how someone could mistakenly attribute it to the Doobie Brothers Doobie and Dobie are similar. I more surprised Youtube hasn't corrected the video link you listened to for this. ...12

@sharikraft17063 years agoI love this song when I was in high school. I don't remember hearing any other songs by Dobie Gray though. but this was so... I don't know... it just took you away 3
@
@rickfortier86643 years agoYeah they misled you with the title. That most definately is NOT the Doobie Brothers and for sure Dobie Gray. He had 2 big hits "The In Crowd" in the early 60s and then "Drift Away" in 73. 10+ years apart. ...18
@
@bobk95723 years agoYeah, this is not the Doobie Brothers as the others have already said. It's Dobie Gray - amazing vocal performance on this song - I will never get tired of listening to it. 19

In 1973 the song became Dobie Gray's biggest hit, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and certified gold by the RIAA.[2] It was the final pop hit for Decca Records in the United States. I will be going to see Uncle Kracker live end of this month here in SE Georgia! ...

@Trucker2316102 years agoTo me this song is thanking music for being his rock throughout his life. I was a teenager when this came out and to this day it is the song that pulls on my heart strings every time I hear it. Music is good for the soul, and this is a thank you song. Thanks for the joy that you're given me, I want you to know I believe in your song. When the guitars coming thru to soothe me. Such beautiful lyrics. ...1

@
@unholydriver49873 years agoAs others have stated, this is Dobie Gray. I'm guessing this was some type of alphabet error. It's one of my all time favorite songs, because of the feeling it evokes. Another one you'd like is "Get Together", by The Youngbloods. ...26
@
@s.rry-guld29613 years agoI have a saying. "Long after youve forgotten. The Song always remembers". meaning long after you have moved on hearing the song will always bring back the memory. and yes This is Dobie Gray, you want Doobies? then Black Water is the song you need. ...
@
@dannybryant79883 years agoThis is Mr. Dobie Gray. This song came out in '74 I believe great song all the same. Glad someone finally did this tune
@
@Wolfhoundfromthehighseas3 years agoAgree with other comments. Not the Doobie Brothers. Still a fun song.👍👍 3
@
@alyssajennings30463 years agoThis is one of my favorite songs of all time and everyone is right, it is Dobie Gray. I will never forget the 1st time I ever heard this song on the radio. I only heard a few seconds at the end but I loved it so much that i called my uncle bc he is a DJ and said please tell me who sings this song and what’s the name of the song. ...3

@
@bob21613 years agoYou two are so much fun to watch. This song is so full of the feels and the two of you caught just about every one of them. It's a great song, it's not the Doobie Brothers, but it's still a great tune. And, a great reaction video. I'm pretty sure the artist was actually Dobie Grey, and it's called 'Drift Away' (I think). I'm doing this from memory, so I might be wrong. ...5
@
@TheLightSideReactions3 years agoThe channel you found this on really trolled you. The song's called "Drift Away," not "Give Me the Beat, Boy," and it's by Dobie Gray, not the Doobie Brothers. This is confirmed by the official discography of the Doobie Brothers. They never recorded any version of this song. ...16

@
@alicesmith70203 years agoThis is definitely Dobie Gray. I think I have listened to every single Doobie Brothers song multiple times and don't remember them covering this song. However, I was curious so I Googled The Doobie Brothers Give Me the Beat Boys and a lot popped up. But I listened to five of them and they were all Doby Gray, not the Doobie Brothers. Apparently, someone screwed this up a long time ago and it has been perpetuated throughout the years. ...4

@dustyhead31263 years agoDefinitely one of my happy songs, my other is "centerfield" by John Fogarty, lead singer for CCR 5
