"If there is one voice through which the glories of R&B ran their course in the 1950's," wrote Nick Tosches, "it may very well be Clyde McPhatter's." That's high praise for a man born in Durham, NC who sang with the Dominoes, was the first lead singer for the Drifters and then went onto a great solo career. Smokey Robinson said that when he was growing up,"Clyde was 'The Man' and everyone knew it". Here is 'The Man' singing "Ta Ta" from August of 1960.

I was lucky enough to see Clyde preform in the early 70's at the Academy of Music on E 14th st. in N,Y,C. He brought the "house down" when he sang "Treasure of Love" !!! This is my favorite song by Clyde - the Violin solo from 1:07 to 1:35 is SO-O-O-O-o NICE !!!!!!!

brook and clyde are both at the top of my list.i just love this song.i think it's the strings that work with the background vocals.the melodies are so rich.a perfect vehicle for clyde's great voice.

Rest in peace Clyde. I've heard life got kind of hard for you in your last years with bouts of depression and alcoholism. I wish I could've been around and of age to help you as all of God fearing people should do for each other but I was only 10 years old when you died. Rest in peace and and God Bless you.

@TheBaylor22 I agree, but also add Ben E. King, Earl Grant and Nat King Cole to the menu, the great DooWop ballads and groups, and please let's not forget the female greats like Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington,Maxine Brown. Mercy, what superb music these and many others from that era made, music that stands the test of time, not like so much of the junk of the past 15 years or so.

Fabulous!
You had Clyde, Jackie, Tony Willaims(The Platters), Sam Cook, Roy Hamilton, and Brook Benton from the mid 50's on! All before Berry Gordy, and mass crossover marketing. Add Jerry Butler and Marvin Gaye from the 60's, and you've got musical royalty. It doesn't get any better than that!
