Drift Away "Drift Away" is a song by Mentor Williams and originally recorded by John Henry Kurtz on his 1972 album "Reunion". In 1973 the song became Dobie Gray's biggest hit, peaking at number five on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and certified gold by the RIAA. It was the final pop hit for Decca Records in the United States.
Papa Do "Papa Do" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Barry Blue. The song was released as a single performed by Barry Green (aka Blue) in 1972 backed with "Boomerang" on the Decca label (both songs credited as written by Rubin and Green respectively) and had a modicum of chart success in Spain, France and Sweden. The Dutch group, Cardinal Point, recorded a version which was similar in style to that recorded by Green, as a track on their self-named album, and the Greek group, The Daltons, also released a version of the song as a single. The song was re-titled "Mama Do" and the text slightly modified for de Paul's own jazzed up version that served as the opening track for her debut album, "Surprise", which was released in 1973.
