Drift Away - The first sound I bought online

I listened this song many times on the radio and loved so much but never known what this song's name is and singing by whom until today I googled one lyric, “give me the beat boy and free my soul”, and found the answer.  I ended up wasting time to find the free download for this song from Internet and decided to just buy it only from Apple through iTunes.  It went super smooth and I started enjoying the song in just a few minutes.

The song, named “Drift Away”, was written by Mentor Williams, originally recorded by Dobie Gray in 1972, and being covered by bands and people all over the world for years.

Quoted from Drift Away - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This song is also a famous "goodbye" or ending song for concerts. Its use is often as filler for a last song, usually in preparation for an encore, since it has a catchy beat and a guitar solo can be easily added to the end of the song in order to spice things up before the encore. As such, many live covers have been performed by a multitude of bands and it has become a hit among soft rock fans.
