In the 1950s, The Drifters’ historic journey began to take shape, as they were the first musical rock and roll group to include stringed instruments into rhythm and blues music. With over 200 million records sold world wide, The Drifters have had five legendary lead singers including Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King and famed individual lead singers Charley Thomas, Bill Pinkney and Johnny Moore. They were the first musical group to sell two million records with their pop classic “Up on the Roof.” The Drifters are recognized for songs such as “There Goes My Baby” and “Under the Boardwalk,” which is also one the most played R&B tunes of all time. They were one of the first groups inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with fellow inductees The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Supremes. According to the Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Rock and Roll Performers, they wrote, “No group has done it this well for this long—no one, not even the Rolling Stones.” Before his recent passing, The Drifters performed for President George H.W. Bush at his 90th birthday party.
