Later this year on a new compilation of the singer's work we will hear the last song he ever recorded.
'Toe The Line' will feature on 'I Was Made To Love Magic', a 13-track album, which will mainly contain alternative versions of some of the cult singer's classic songs.
Mojo magazine commented that 'Toe The Line' is similar in style to the tracks on Drake's notoriously sparse final LP, 1972's 'Pink Moon'. Just over two minutes in length, and contains the lyric: "If you call we will follow/if you show us we can toe the line".
"I Was Made To Love Magic' also includes a solo 'River Man' and a five-minute rendition of 'Three Hours' among its gems.
Drake made three albums for Island before his death in 1974 from an overdose of antidepressants aged just 26. Since then he has gained massive cult following.
