"Drift Away" (Download)
This ‘70s classic was first released by Dobie Gray and became an international hit in 1973. The pop a cappella group the Nylons’ covered the song in the mid-80s. And 10 years after that ‘The delBecks!’ brought their own soulful R&B a cappella groove and vibe to the tune! ‘The delBecks!’ was a quintet of male vocalists, featuring Wayne Dixon (bass), Leokāne Pryor and Brad Hopper (baritone), Craig Matthews (second tenor), and Ahmed El-Gassier (first tenor). All members were alumni of the UC Men’s Octet, and their years of singing together at Cal are evident in the exceptionally tight harmonies captured in this recording. The arrangement even showcases overtones blending beautifully in the mix. Brad Hopper takes the lead vocal, killing it with his smooth cadence and sexy interpretation of the melody and lyrics! This is the second song on my new album, Vintage A Cappella!
