The Drifters, it did not matter who sang in the lead, their songs were always top notch. I enjoy all their songs. Talent like this is no longer available, sadly, and it is our rights, as it was our parents' rights before us to see that from very young our kids are exposed to this type of music. My parent played music in our home from their era all the time, I do the same now. That is how I grew up to appreciate music from the older eras.
@Jevezy I agree,having different leads made every song unique.My son is 8 & he knows tunes from The Drifters,Elvis,Swing,Northern Soul,Motown & more.We have to keep this music alive.Thanks for your nice comment.
Thanks for the great-sounding post. I've only heard this on an internet station a couple of times. Nice to hear something less common by a wonderful group.
lead singer on this was charlie thomas who sang other leads including, sweets for my sweet, when my little girl is smiling, i don't want to (go on without you.)

@Jevezy i agree. but even ben E king ,as Clyde Mc Phatters as an Idol.
He was perhaps , much at ease in fast tempos.
That was much a R and B time. Then went a rose in spanish Harlem
