The Drifters

The Drifters were created in 1953 by George Treadwell & Clyde McPhatter.  George Treadwell managed the group and laid the foundation of what would make the Drifters one of the greatest groups of all time.  Clyde McPhatter was the lead singer of the group that also saw numerous members over the years but two others stood out above the rest.  Johnny Moore and Ben E King.
After George’s untimely death in 1967, it was down to his widow Faye to continue with the group and to determine the direction they would take. Faye took the Drifters onto great achievements that saw the group grow and become a household name.
Faye Treadwell passed away in May 2011 and then it was down to their Daughter Tina Treadwell, to continue the legacy of The Drifters.
Tina is most excited that The Drifters have continued to be loved and adored by fans worldwide and that the vision her father had for the group along with the determination of her mother has seen the group survive and continue strong 65 years on.
