News: Dobie Gray R I P....

Recommended Posts

Very sad news, as with so many other amazing influential soul artists, writers etc this year it seems.

I can distinctly remember hearing In Crowd and Out On The Floor for the very first time at a school disco circa '82/3 when I was 11 or 12 and listening / watching some older kids dancing "differently" to these and other great records like them. For me at the time stood out clearly as being so much different / better than most of the other music at those regular school discos. I watched and joined in and somehow knew there and then that soul / dance music would firmly be in my life. It remains so and always will.

Thanks for that Dobie Gray and RIP

Just to state the obvious. Is there a greater feelgood record then "Out on the floor"? One of the first records most of us will have heard in our early days on the scene.

A very talented musician as well as a provider of great mempries.

God bless you Dobie.

agree with every thing you say ' huge loss
