"Drift Away" is a song by Mentor Williams, originally recorded by Dobie Gray in 1972.
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. Appropriately, it was the final pop hit for Decca Records in the United States.
Dobie Grey is the version from the early 70's that most people are familiar with
