Drift Away Taylor Hicks

[@dsamsie]

I love this video. It shows the real Taylor! He could be my son, but I would love to bring him home and just watch him sing and entertain me forever! I like him better than anybody EVER! I wish some really good bluesy writers would get with him and knock our socks off with a new album! I still love ya Taylor. Go Soul Patrol!!

[@kswan4christ]

May the love for TAYLOR never die! Excellent montage. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@auntphizz]

One of the better recordings of this song. Taylor needs much more exposure than he is getting.

[@wkares]

I love this song. Great job.

[@cmusic05]

Absolutely love Taylor in good old KY.

[@therealtreeguy65]

The first episode of A.I. with Taylor Hicks I said watch he will win this year, WATCH! Good Job bro!

[@robinh4]

[@woahmayn]

[@soapgirl15]

Great video!!!! I love Taylor!!!!

[@Funiery]

i love this song!!!bravisimo Taylor

[@donttelluseenme]

WOW I didnt know he sang this. I love it!!!!

[@willow100cm]

It's really unfortunate that Taylor Hicks did not make it big after American Idol. He has such raw energy and talent, he deserved better afterwards.

[@Angelzofblue]

AWESOME VOICE AND ENTERTAINER

[@woahmayn]

man this dude is amazing. i feel like he made it his own song.

[@theHPninja]

This is my favorite cover. I was looking for a black man to sing this song, but Taylor completely adds enough chocolate.

[@yippee57]

Favourite tune, favourite idol.

[@valustarjp]

Great song!!

[@rankingj]

go hicks i loved you on American Idol I think your great

[@tangelofishes]

yeah. he's on a broadway tour and just released a new CD. he's doing pretty fine. =] I love him!! and he's twice my age. lol

[@tercac]

awesme made me cry :)

[@Froggy19510]

what awesome talent

[@gokuman63]

he sings this the best go taylor

[@pytko3]

Taylor Hicks was actually my second favorite when he was on American Idol. Chris Dutree was my favorite. But when Chris was voted off, Taylor was the one I was rooting for all the way. It should have been down to Chris and Taylor at the finale. Oh well at least one of them won.

[@bfree4239]

You nailed it...

[@williamdelsanto5547]

now that's singing with soul!

[@gokuman63]

thisi s my fav version of this song its way better then the other 1s

[@TheSoulbass]

I like Taylor Hicks wish he would have made it his own put his own flavor on it.

[@woahmayn]

ITS THE HOME STRETCH BRO! 300000

[@reconphil]

Remakes usually don't capture the original magic; this one comes as close as any.

[@maryboothe7918]

Would like to hear Taylor Hicks sing” you’re in my heart” old Rod Stewart song

[@laurajames723]

I agree...initially I was almost fooled into thinking it might have been Dobie Gray...but as I listened to the whole song I realized it wasn't. Taylor does pretty damned good imitation I dare say...

[@valustarjp]

I said his voice and the song are awesome!

[@oktony61]

you dont measure success by the size of your bank account....if he is (and i bet he is) taking care of his family and truly enjoying what he NOW does for a living i would say he is a success.. there are too many youngsters out there (who are the majority of music purchasers) that by stuff like nickleback and others...this sound is a throw back to 60's 70's rock and soul and lets face it people we are getting old..

[@MJ2327]

taylor hicks wishes he would have that voice.....great song by dobie gray

[@3arendel]

The song is written by Mentor Williams and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. Tony Christie, Andy Bernard, Bo Bice, Michael Bolton, Bon Jovi, Cannibal Corpse, Clarence Carter, Ray Charles, Chosen Few, Richard Christy, John Denver, Doobie Brothers, Linda Eder, Narvel Felts, Heptones, Humble Pie, Waylon Jennings, John Kay, Kid Rock, Jon Peter Lewis, Aaron Neville, The The Rolling Stones, Uncle Kracker and many more has done covers of the song though.

[@lynnmethvin7286]

This is the best !

[@powertour]

Man, that's gotta be Dobie and Taylor doing a duet together. Nobody can sound that much like Dobie.

[@Valorius]

Everywhere? LOL...ive never seen this dude on any show once since he, ahem "won"(what a joke) AI. He is a blight on the show's name, and doesnt even belong in the same business as the other winners of AI. J O K E

[@funkmasteryellow]

I love the Drift Away version made by Magnetic North.

[@valustarjp]

最高！！

[@woahmayn]

am i the only one who listens to this every day? lmaoo

[@oldikins]

Did people finally get it straight that this is a montage of Taylor Hicks.......but not him singing? It is the original music.

[@pytko3]

I did want it to come down to Taylor and Chris in the finale.

[@ausomebros]

He has a great cd out... how come there are no mtv of taylor hicks out????

[@POHpenny]

im 19 yrs old, been in music my whole life. YOU SIR, are wrong. That us Dobie grey. guarantee it, listen to the original and this back to back.

[@oldikins]

lol I wouldn't say that! Where were you all last year when he was everywhere?

[@91joelt]

@FurorVikingorum "Grease" as in like the movie or the Broadway Musical.

[@Sparkjean]

Why are all these photos of Taylor Hicks showing while Dobie (the Man) Gray sings Drift Away ? SparkyJean

[@RaiseFoldRepeat]

@FurorVikingorum No he means Grease, like the movie. Taylor Hicks played in the Broadway musical. lol fail

[@Erophia]

His Good... He have character voice..

[@smizzle_]

i definately would

[@woahmayn]

i like this version better than krackers or even dobies... :D go taylor

[@beautyjudge]

Taylor Hicks won AI because the cream rose to the top that season. My friend Jay (check video) sings this song great too.

[@hemirt]

This IS Dobie Gray!!!

[@Velvet4U]

Yeah, So Taylor sang this song when he was one(1) year old. So what's the problem? You are wrong. This is Taylor Hicks singing. He was just a little advanced for his age. That's why he has the grey hair. They said they placed a recording of Dobie Gray into his crib, and that's all he listened to for an entire year.

[@veldmuis70]

this is dobie gray!!!!

[@1901elina]

How old is he?

[@jmzsil]

@nugget679 personal oppinion but UKs' is very good.

[@bananerx3]

its not even taylor singing now. this is the original.

[@Frenchfry147]

was it taylor who sang this? it doesnt sound like him

[@MNessmith]

Wait, you mean to tell me Taylor Hicks doesn't write his own music!?!?!?!!?!? :-o

[@Tayfancier]

This is not Taylor. It's just a fan tribute to Taylor.

[@djStrimmer]

i think you're wrong Soulcat. this is taylor Hicks surely!

[@DeCavalcante]

Only song he did good, WOW!

[@purezen]

@chattykaye1 He is playing here in Akron Ohio Tonight!!

[@Mirza_Tanovic]

stones did it too

[@jmzsil]

@jwyberg how would you know?

[@illinifan121091]

soul buddy

[@caioguns]

I like Bo's version better.. but this is cool

[@maxpax39]

@veldmuis70 i sooooooo luv dobie gray but we dont hear much of him in the uk actually hardly anyone knows him in the uk my dad use to sing dobie songs to me wen he was alive n i think taylor hicks is fab but doesnt even compare to dobie wat so eva

[@meg38301]

That is not Taylor Hicks, it's a great song. I like the pics.

[@spiglator]

He needs a guy like Mutt Lang to produce his stuff. He could still be big with the right guidance.

[@ilikefordtrucks1990]

@cheymckenzie96 its dobie not doobie

[@jellybeanhelene917]

You're right...It's Doby Grey. Taylor Hicks does sing this song, but this is not him.

[@pytko3]

Well, I'm not good with spelling last names. But Chris should have been the winner. Even Simon believed he would be the winner.

[@rajrae]

Why didn't you put a Taylor song with this? I love the song but I would rather hear Taylor singing if you are going to do a video about him. (BTW, I know he would do an awesome job with Drift Away if he DID sing it..)

[@runr673]

All you knuckleheads.He performed this on idol.

[@MissBrossart]

Kurtz is singing the some its the absolute original then i think dolby grey sang it after

[@JUSTINBIEBERDOLL]

At 0;16 he is doing the same action as justin has done and his hair looks like biebers :)) well sorta

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

There is no way that this is Taylor Hicks.

[@Dawncardiff]

I think this is Dobie Hicks

[@meg9l3]

i agree. its like he never even won!

[@jmzsil]

@XutaoHuang if it wasb't for Kid Rock no one would have heard of UK.....

[@jmzsil]

@joewoo127 and you are?

[@JUSTINBIEBERDOLL]

@JUSTINBIEBERDOLL Opps i mean ar 0:16 lol :)

[@dsfddsgh]

Dobie gray's version owns Uncle Kracker.

[@pkzathruz]

what he said

[@Tayfancier]

Taylor isn't singing this, but if he did it would probably be even better.

[@llltdesq]

That's NOT Dobie Gray singing here. I know Dobie Gray's voice and this isn't it-it sounds like Taylor Hicks Robert Reynolds Tucson AZ

[@jeremystrider]

No he didn't. Dobie Gray originally sang "Drift Away".

[@killr636]

@jjl974 you got better music taylor hicks kicks ass

[@s123viv]

this doesn't sound like taylor because it isn't. this is just a montage with someone else singing. :)

[@Dawncardiff]

oops I mean Dobie Gray

[@cheezican]

i listened to both and they are not even close to identical

[@evegpt]

Dobie Grey..

[@f1nl3y727]

This is taylor hicks singing dude...

[@MrSomename89]

i thought this woulda been as bad as all the other artists who attempt to match up to dobie on this one, but he didnt do that bad of a job.

[@killerfox2]

he sounds pretty close to the original
