My buddy, Richie, passed away last Thursday, after his battle with Pancreatic cancer. I hadn’t seen him, face to face, in many years, but I talked to him, on the phone, every week. Every time we talked, he talked about coming out to California-to see the Redwoods with the wife and I. I mistakenly thought we had more time. Never take a moment, for granted, as you’re never promised tomorrow. I miss you, brother. I’ll see you, when I get there. ❤️ Tank

"Drift Away" is a classic rock song originally written and recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. It has been covered by numerous artists over the years, but one of the most popular versions is by Uncle Kracker. Uncle Kracker's version of "Drift Away" was released in 2003 as a single from his album "No Stranger to Shame". The song features a smooth, laid-back melody and Uncle Kracker's signature raspy vocals. It quickly became a hit, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earning a gold certification from the RIAA. The song's message of wanting to escape the stresses of life and just "drift away" has resonated with listeners for decades. Its catchy chorus and memorable lyrics make it a favorite for sing-alongs and easy listening radio stations. Despite the success of "Drift Away", Uncle Kracker has stated in interviews that he never intended to become a solo artist. He was originally a DJ for Kid Rock's band, but started writing his own music during downtime on tour. "Drift Away" was just one of the songs he recorded and it ended up launching his solo career. The song has been covered by many other artists over the years, including Dobie Gray, who originally recorded it in 1973, and Rod Stewart. It has also been featured in several movies and TV shows, such as "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Scrubs". Overall, "Drift Away" has become a timeless classic that continues to be enjoyed by music fans of all ages.

It was actually written by mentor Williams,John Henry Kurtz just performed it first. Fantastic song though,uncle krackers version came out when I was a pre teen and I've been hooked ever since

[@amerishape]

@@dansharp3092 Indeed, "Drift Away" was written by Mentor Williams and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz in 1972. The version by Dobie Gray, released in 1973, became the more widely recognized and successful rendition, and it's likely this version that inspired Uncle Kracker's cover in 2003. The song's enduring popularity across various interpretations underscores its timeless quality and ability to resonate with different generations of listeners. Each artist brings their own style and flavor to the song, contributing to its rich history in the world of popular music. Thank you for providing additional details about the origins of "Drift Away."

Every time me and my dad would go on car rides we would always play this song and it was our tradition every time we took a ride. He even asked me to set this song as his ringtone. He passed in February last year and I make it my mission to listen to this song every week so my memories of him don’t ever drift away.

I lost my sister, two brothers, mom and dad and it's just me and my one sister and one brother left in this world. This song brings back memories of my family who never deserved to die the way they did. I am looking forward to seeing them in the after life. This world is too difficult. So much meanness and cruelty out there. Please do the right thing and help people and animals.

I remember listening to this song in the radio when I was at least 6 or 7, my family and I were in the car heading to LA and I remember clearly the snowy mountains next to the freeway as the song played and I sang along not knowing that after 18 years later , I have forgotten and knew nothing about the title, my husband would find the song in a random meme and I just happened to over hear it and decided to search for it. Now going through anxiety and depression and reading the lyrics as I listened to it again made me tear. Who would've thought that this song could have destined for me to find it after all these years just to know that it relates to what Im going through now and as for the person this song is meant to be dedicated to, I'm grateful to have someone who tries his best to support me just so he can see me smile and enjoy the little to big things in life and I couldn't be more grateful of him, and that someone is my husband.

There will Never be another Generation that will have the Best of the Best of Music Musicians, Songs, Movies, Concerts,Etc. Sadly we lost Many Talented Musicians Artists & Actors who passed away much too soon, and I seriously doubt that there will ever be anyone else that could ever replace or compare to these talented people, that we were so Blessed to Have in our Baby Boomers Generation! Most of our children know them,because we played their music as the they were growing up and had no choice because we jammed our Music as they were growing up. I know I did & so did many other people I know. We taught our children to make good grades,to Respect their elders, and to do their chores, and do as they were told,and being disrespectful and talking back was not an option,and if they even tried it they knew that they just might get their little asses kicked!! 😆🤣😂 Np just as we did by our parents, who taught us these things lessons to be learned. ( btw we Never beat our kids) Have a Great Day and if your a Baby Boomer remember we were Blessed to live in the times when everything was so good! But Living in Today is a whole other ballgame, having Covid around Ugh! I never thought I'd like to see such drastic changes in this lifetime and it breaks my ❤that our gchildren think wearing a Mask is normal 😥. Please Stay Safe in these Troubled Times we are now living in and please put God first & Pray that one day Covid will be a thing the Past!!! 🙏❤💙 God Bless You & Have a Blessed Day!Wilmington, ⛱ Nc 4/19/21 😊🙂

The media hones in on the few. I certainly don't think the people they hone in on are the many, although MSM would like us to think so. Politicians want to divide people, & MSM helps them. Then they get their own people, evidently paid & start something, then bail them out of jail. Have you heard about some of the states that aren't even going to hold people in jail for terrible crimes, they are just going to release them. I think one of the states is Pennsylvania. I suspect people who can afford to will move, if they aren't too old, or attached because they have too many family members in states like that. It is a shame. There are undoubtedly going to be problems.
