The Drifters, Hello Happiness

[venkmanuk]

wow. cant believe how out of time the crowd is. not even on the off beat.. it's all over the place!

[lovediedatbirth]

Johnny Moore is my favourite ever, I love john darrel moore he died the year i was born in 1998 and it has broken my heart, really how many times can a girl cry, some people call him the short, bald, fat guy from the drifters, but to me he is handsome and he died WAY to early at 64 yrs, thats why my name is love-died-at-birth, work it out

[benny266698]

a wonderful era for music the drifters top class act

[yourgrandmadarling]

I often wonder why folks who have NO RHYTHM insist on clapping OFF TIME. That's so disrespectful of the audience. The audience is supposed to SUPPORT the artist not to lead in the opposite direction, for goodness sakes! For that reason I hate to seen ANYTHING tapped in front of a European audience. They CANNOT felt the BEAT, its just utterly impossible.

[mikeromaniw]

the crowd are a disgrace to these legends of music. a disgrace!

[JoeyJonesIsASexGod]

reminds me of when I was a nipper!

[tombrownize]

My dad loved the drifters.R.I.P john brazil love ur daughter betsy gal love u allways xxxxxxx

[lmc1dj]

@tombrownize my auntie got me into drifters at a very young age, R.I.P LYNDA! and thankyou for showing me the way.

[USGirl22]

haha the lead singer was trying to help the audience clap ON BEAT hehe. He tried...:)

[Cyrax3579]

;o]

[lizichell]

I love how angry Johnny Moore looked when trying to get them to clap in time!

[nastynastynena]

Maybe, he was just disappointed! Not everyone has the rhythm!! Fact!

[lizichell]

He really did scowl at them though

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Johnny Moore probably didn't realise how thick and unable to feel the beat the audience were.........................L­ol

[acceitunas]

So love this group.

[goalaction]

its funny how their hair gets longer from right to left

good song tho

[daisysilver]

Can someone please put on more than a number with Johnney and Clyde. It used to be on. What happened to it?

[nastynastynena]

I don't know - cos I didnt put it up. Sorry!

[tomeczek132]

Dont clap ;)

[daisysilver]

what do you mean? don't clap cos they are crap or what?

[daisysilver]

@daisysilver i did not mean i think they are crap, far from it I think they were fantastic its just asking the other person who put don't clap on.

Historic Show THE DRIFTERS Feat. The Drifters LegendsIndigO2 at the O2, London

JUNE 28TH 2009

[daisysilver]

Joe blunt was fantastic, so pleased he got an award well deservedd, classy and a showman. Butch was good as well but have to say this new bunch are a waste of time so cold just on automatic pilot, the old lot, Johnney and joe and Clyde etc enjoyed what they did and it showed, and the audience loved them bring them back,not Johnney of course but the rest would be worth seeing. would never go and see this new lot again. BORING.

[boomerbev1]

Clyde McPhatter, Rudy Lewis, Ben E. King and Johnny Moore...best Drifters lead singers!

[CandyChic2468]

concert.

[7thParade]

Singing live! totally excellent...big respect...

[acceitunas]

Love the drifters.

[blewis9505]

Hey Candy! Tx for the info. We looked where you told us but didn't see a lineup/date including Brown. What'd we miss? btw: We have it from a reliable source that his wifee, Elizabeth Brown, says he nor the band are not touring. Just wondering if Brown has, in fact, hooked back up with Leak for sumthin' special? Us die hard Clyde Brown fans need to know, Someone else dropped a line that Brown doesn't travel outside his home so it's confusing. If he's going to Vegas let's have the 411. Tx Candy

[acceitunas]

Perfecto Mondo.

[blewis9505]

Is Clyde Brown still singing? New group perhaps? Anyone know??? Thanx!

[CandyChic2468]

yes...he has a band. and still intertains..chck out butchleak wb site..they r going to bein las vagis in the spring

[robcodsall]

completely excellent. Takes me back to how I loved this song, at the tender age of nine in 1976

[pewmanfustudios]

Very cool!  My favorite Johnny Moore lead is "Fools Fall In Love."

[CandyChic2468]

All of us need to remember Johney Moore. Without him the Drifters would not have made it as long as they have. HE IS THE MAN. RIP JM. SADLY MISSED.

[abuiltmale]

Correction, the last "original Drifter" Bill Pinkney passed away on July4, 2007 in Daytona Beach. His last TV appearance was on the last Doo Wop show on PBS taped the end of May. They had a reunion of singers for the Drifters of different eras. A pricless peace of music history. Thank you T.J. !!

[topmuff]

Thank you.

[vaman77788]

Wow...he sounds as good as when I was a teen in l957 listening to "Fools Fall in Love"...a special voice..never got the recognition that Tony Williams did,but, in his own, way was an equal voice.

[pontiff64]

shook johny's hand on stage at The Jingling Gate one brilliant night,never washed it for a week.LEGEND

[Angiepez]

the show was the Arrows

[strummer08]

johnny moore the mans a legend

[mybabba]

What show is this taken from? Who were those guys in the beginning?

[elvischevy]

his was the first singer i seen on tv in the 1970s ,the man is gone ,but the his music lives on/

[cambridgecableguy]

Johnny Moore = LEGEND

[doctordoowop]

evie-not true. Bill Pinckney original bass is still active. Charlie Thomas-lead of "Sweets for my Sweet" & many others is still singing. & what about Ben E King?

[evie151]

YES Johnny Moore the last remaining Drifters is now gone. He was the only person that ensured you that you were watching the original group. I used to see them at The Grand Theatre in Blackpool when they toured. Sadly missed!!!!

[MotownMonster]

Great to Johnny Moore singing one of the Drifter many classic hits this video, he had a unique voice very underated. Very much missed Earth loss Heavens Gain.

[mitchking2006]

Johnny Moore - geat singer & very underated. Try the new CD & DVD by the latest Drifters - really good!

[classie60]

Johnny Moore is one of the great under rated singers !

Great clip!

[1961h]

He had such a beautiful voice. I saw the Drifters a couple of years back in the UK, but the lead singer was missing, not sure if he is still alive? They were very good though.
