[flemit11]

Jonny Moore is not a founding member

[nastynastynena]

@flemit11 Correct, all the founding band members were fired by the manager in 1957. Moore joined later and sang lead on "Under The Boardwalk" and "Saturday Night At The Movies."

[bloodphantom93]

@bloodphantom93 From right to left, it's Johnny Moore (lead singer), Clyde Brown, Joe Blunt and Billy Lewis.

[mvann5566]

the drifters are not under-rated faust mate...my son when 5 (1999) heard me playing them and asked if i would do him a tape for his little player...picked my mother up from hospital two weeks ago and she loved them on my cd...shes 87..like motown any era will dance to the drifters sounds, johnny moore had a sooth,soft but unique voice but it appeared to match his personality,great loss....thanks for posting nasty,take care all

[faustus999]

got to be one of the most under-rated bands ever...johnny moore did so many great songs..great voice. so many classics

[robskers]

The Drifters together with The Platters made an excellent era of wonderful music, man. Many dudes today try to get their " essence " but this feeling is a-once-in-a-lifetime thing... nothing compares...!!!!

[TheRyge]

Awesome, great singing.

[Motownluver1]

[tropicalpancake56]

FIRST CLASS...JOHNNY MOORE...

[Factnotfictionpeople]

In my humble opinion, this is the best lead vocal. :-)

[tropicalpancake56]

I very much feel the same way...he was great...

[nastynastynena]

Johnny Moore sang the original "Under The Boardwalk" with The Drifters.

[bowbergene]

Johnny Moore ...Sadly missed that voice never be another lucky to have my piece of his life to remember.

[padgit69]

Wrong candy as you know by now joe blunt was exceptionally sexy along with clyde! but what a group love them could watch them all day.

[CandyChic2468]

daisysilver; probally johnny and clyde. have u saw aphoto of butch leake on his website. he looks sexier than in these videos. clyde still looks good to. but he couldn't look better . he is to beautiful in these vids. ss08

[CandyChic2468]

i don't think i have ever been so star struck before.. i really love this group, love clyde most.

[daisysilver]

How I loved these guys. The best line up without a shadow of doubt. Four brilliant singers, 2 very sexy ones! You all have your favourites but I am sure you all know which 2 I mean.x

[padgit69]

Loving watching these guys again. I am addicted to these old videos with JM & CO. How good were this lot. I could watch all night even saturday night!

[CandyChic2468]

i've looked up all the drifters careers and johnny moore was with the older drifters also. so he was there before clyde brown.he did leave the group 2or3 times and returned.clyde came in the late 60's or early 70's. him and johnny left in 1982 they had returned in 86. after that i find no record of clyde returning but johnny stayed with them.ss08

[CandyChic2468]

clyde lead save the last dance foe me, on one of the vedios on youtube ...he is good and beautiful also..ss

[isadobe]

The beutifull voice of Johnny Moore a great miss The Drifter ....

[themaltesebippy]

Great video!!

[BALLADS1]

GREAT DRIFTERS 1973-1979 JOHNNY MOORE YES

BUT the REAL STARS were the GREAT SONGWRITERS :

ROGER COOK ROGER GREENAWAY TONY MC CAULEY

[oconlan003]

you voice was 'magic' Johnny your missed mate

[Tunnelpimp]

yep, Johnny Moore is the man!

[abuiltmale]

Some corrections...When Clyde left the group, he went into the service, not a solo career which he did have AFTER he got out of the service. Johnny did not replace him, but joined the group years later. There were many leads before Johnny including Ben E King, Rudy Lewis, Bobby Hendrix, and Charlie Thomas. But I do aggree that Johnny ranks right at the top with the best of them. Class is now dismissed!

[continental757]

johnnie moore the best drifters lead singer

[mumbleora]

Johnny Moore was great, but don't forget the great Rudy Lewis!

[peasah2005]

Defintely.

[coolpilot007]

im a singer ...and my hero is johnny moore...what a voice.... im white and english but people say i sound like him..."R"john.if you want to hear me i`ll....try and sort somthing out ..mp3 or the like..BIGGEST DRIFTER FAN IN THE WORLD

[elvischevy]

the late johnny moore , what a great singer is was /

[luv2cut1]

Johnny sounds good even though there from England they sound good I am a member of Bill Pinkney Original rifters

[COLETTEDAVE]

johnny has the second best male voice ever, after Levi Stubbs.Fantastic.

[Blackwwoolff]

Clyde McPhatter founded the group in 1952 or 53 and Johnny Moore was the replacement when Clyde went solo. Legend has it that when Bill Pinkney (back-up bass, baritone and tenor)heard him sing in the bathroom he just had to get him. All three are one of my favorites!

[nickpug]

If I was a singer, I would like to sound like Johnny Moore!

[badfoot22]

so cool. you're right johnny rocks! thank you and yes it would be great to see some early drifters posted. i'd love it.

[doggydogworld]

Johnny Moore. One of the greats.

[gerryryan]

why didn't they just sing under the boardwalk?

[sebby1916]

nice :)

[mitchking2006]

Great to see Johnny Moore - what an underated singer he was! Drifters still going strong - try their new CD & 'live' DVD
