From their inception in the early 1950’s and up until recently, THE DRIFTERS has a symbiotic relationship with Rock & Roll.
Through a historical journey, which included no less than 5 legendary lead singers including Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King, the group’s ongoing story has covered the entire spectrum of Rock & Roll. The Drifters were the first musical group to infuse string instruments into Rhythm & Blues music with their hauntingly beautiful song, “There Goes My Baby”. They were the first musical group to sell 2 million records with their pop classic, “Up On The Roof” and the first African American vocal group to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Alongside fellow inductees, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Supremes, the Drifters were in the first class of Rock & Roll legends to be initiated into the Hall of Fame. Their classic tune, “Under The Boardwalk”, is the most played R & B record of all time and was followed by 20 other million sellers.
Their songs have been penned by such historic songwriters as Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, Carol King, Jerry Goffen, and Phil Spector. They have played at the White House on 3 different occasions, gave a benefit concert in Berlin the day the wall fell, performed for the Pope, the Queen of England, Nelson Mandela and toured the world with the USO in 3 different war zones from Korea to Iraq.
Once again, THE DRIFTERS return to their roots with their latest American tour. A monumental celebration of their 50 year catalogue which includes great titles such as: On Broadway, There Goes My Baby, Dance With Me, This Magic Moment, Under The Boardwalk, Up On The Roof, Stand By Me, Save The Last Dance for Me, and so many more.
