Dobie Gray: Capricorn Rising
Chris Charlesworth, Melody Maker, 6 March 1976
IT IS, I GUESS, the third time around for Dobie Gray who, at the present moment, is stretched out full length on a bed on the 21st floor of the Summitt Hotel on Lexington Avenue here in New York, sipping on a glass of Heineken and helping himself to a Marlboro from my packet.
