Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Deaths: "Drift Away"

I list music world deaths in this blog.  World War II deaths are in my Tattoed On Your Soul blog and all others in my History Thing blog.  These are people who have had an impact on me.

DOBIE GRAY, 71

(June 26, 1940-December 6, 2011)

Singer-songwriter.  His big hits include "The 'In' Crowd" which hit #13 in 1965 and one of my all-time favorites, "Drift Away" which went to $5 in 1973. 

He was born in Texas, the son of sharecroppers.  His name was adopted from the "Dobie Gillis" TV show.
