The Drifters are considered one of the most successful and unique groups in the history of Rhythm and Blues. Between 1953 and 1971, the Drifters had 12 different lead singers, 11 from other groups . They even boasted two members named Charlie Thomas who knew each other and were both originally from Virginia. The story of the Drifter's is really about two groups, the first being the original group formed by Clyde McPhatter from 1953 to 1957 and the later pop group fronted by Ben E. King, Rudy Lewis and others from 1958 - 1979. Posted Thu Jul 5, 2007 8:32pm AEST Updated Fri Jul 6, 2007 0:25am AEST Rhythm and blues singer Bill Pinkney, the last surviving member of the original line-up of The Drifters, was found dead in his hotel room hours before he was due to perform in a July 4 celebration he was 81.

Due to previous comments, I checked out the Cryin' Shames version. To me, it doesn't hold a candle to this one, though everyone has a right to their opinion. I certainly don't think their version can be termed ten times better.

I had forgotten how much I liked this version. The Drifters were always a class act.
