The Drifters, Like Sister and Brother

Drifters studio performance recorded in 1990 and a lesson learned.
DON'T ask the cameraman for 'a close up for me mum' when you haven't slept the night before.

We have Johnny & Pete, I THINK that's Jason but can someone confirm the line up please?

[mart22222]

@npwd It was (left to right) Joe Cofe, John Thirsten, Johnny Moore and Peter Lemar.

I can't believe anyone would say these are not The Drifters when Johnny Moore is obviously singing in this performance. Johnny Moore had the longest tenure of any of the Drifters. (He sang Under The Boardwalk, Saturday Night At The Movies, At The Club, I'll Take You Home and all of the British Drifter hits (Kissing In The Back Row Of The Movies, You're More Than A Number In My Little Red Book, Can I Take You Home Little Girl). The only other "real" Drifters are

Ben E. King & Charlie Thomas

@Cch092775 yes and of course Bill Fredricks the original singer of this song, thanks very much for your comment.

FFS, that's not The Drifters. perhaps they are the sons/cousins/assorted mates of The Drifters? Reminds me of the night I went to see Heatwave in Chester. I said to my mate, 'weren't Heatwave a bunch of black guys?' as I perused the stage dominated by white lads....

[mart22222]

@TheBelly58 Do your research mate, Johnny Moore was one of the first Drifters and has been the only Drifter to stay the course (Johnny being the lead vocals on Saturday Night at the Movies, Kissing in the Back Row, More than a number,down on the beach etc etc, but no! There's no zimmer frames or oxygen on stage and some people don't actually live forever, this line up however was as original as could be considering the R + R hall of famer himself 'Johnny Moore was still there.

im only 25 but grew up with my mum playing the drifters every sunday morning know every word to everyone of their songs - used to hate my mum playing them but realise now they are true legends!!!! best song tho - ur more than a number in my little red book!

I apologise for my earlier comments, I have watched this a few times now and It is good. i have actually bought the DVD with him on. No Jm but the group that were doing the rounds after he died, it is really good.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Now THIS is how a top vocal group operates. You use the vocal ranges of the various singers in the 'lead' position, as the needs of the song dictate.

@TheBelly58

Mate you just embarrassed yourself - anyone who knows the Drifters would Identify Johnny Moore as you don't have a clue he is the 2nd from your right. lol!

[borojohn40]

I don't think the lead singer was born when the Drifters first released this song. unless he has aged really well
