His hit records included "The 'In' Crowd" in 1965 and "Drift Away", which was one of the biggest hits of 1973, selling over one million copies, and remains a staple of radio airplay. Gray's "Out On The Floor", a 1966 recording become a British top 50 pop chart hit in 1975 and is considered to be a Northern Soul classic by UK fans of the genre. "Drift Away" became a hit again in 2003, when he covered the song as a duet with Uncle Kracker on the latter's No Stranger to Shame album. The re-recording hit #9 and placed at #19 in the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2003 as well as logging a record-setting 28 weeks atop the Adult Contemporary chart in 2003-2004.
