biografische gegevens van drifters The Drifters zijn een Amerikaanse rhythm & blues- groep die in 1953 ontstaat. De groep stond onder productionele leiding van Jerry Wexler en Ahmet Ertegun. De samenstelling veranderde echter steeds. In de periode 1953-1958 kende de groep achtereenvolgens de volgende leadzangers: Clyde McPhatter (ex-dominoes), David Baughan, Johnny Moore (ex-Hornets), Bobby Hendricks. In 1958 eindigt eigenlijk het bestaan van de 'echte' Drifters. De groep komt in handen van een nieuwe manager, George Treadwell. Als in 1959 Ben E. King de leadvocals op zich neemt hebben we te maken met een geheel nieuwe groep. Van de oorspreonkelijke rhythm & blues is weinig over. Ben E. King schrijft meet popmuziek: gevoelige ballades als 'There goes my baby'. De veranderingen in de bezetting blijven echter voortduren: Ben E. King vertrekt nog in 1959. Na hem treffen we Johnny Williams als leadzanger, waarna ook Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil en Rudy Lewis zich met de groep inlieten. muziekbase (If you cry) true love, true l (There's) Always something there to remind me A good song never dies A rose by any other name Ain't it the truth Another night with the boys Answer the phone Aretha At the club Baby what I mean Be my lady Bring it on home to me Can I take you home little girl Chains of love Come on over to my place Come over to my place Dance with me Didn't it Do you have to go now Don't cry on the weekend Down on the beach tonight Drip drop Every night Every nite's a saturday night with you Far from the maddening crowd Follow me Fools fall in love Hello happiness He's just a playboy Honey love Hypnotized I can't get away from you I count the tears I don't want to go on without you I feel good all over I need you now I remember christmas I wish you love If you don't come back I'll get to know your name along the w I'll know when true love really passes I'll take you home I'll take you where the music's playin I'm feeling sad (and oh so lonely) In the land of make believe I've got sand in my shoes Just let your heart be your guide Kissin' in the back row of the movies Let the music play Like sister and brother Loneliness or happiness Lonely winds Love games Love magnet Memories are made of this Mexican divorce Money honey Moonlight bay More My island in the sun Nobody but me Nylon stockings On Broadway On the street where you live One way love Plain...
