| Great listening. While many of the songs were not #1s they were nevertheless good music. Thoroughly enjoyed their hits. Would recommend it. "Love You 1000 Times" and "With This Ring" remind me of my wife. |

There are 2 different CDs titled the "The Very Best of the Drifters". This one (Atlantic label)has all of the great songs. The "Camden" label has only one hit. Make sure you look for the Drifters wearing blue jackets not the red plaid ones.
This was a great CD with 16 hits we know the Drifters by.

So I climb into my own car, see, in the shotgun seat on account of my teenage son is driving and his mom is in the back seat, and he's got his iPod jacked to the stereo system and like, here's Ben E. King and the second Drifters singing Under the Boardwalk, only my wife who went to high school in Beverly Hills pipes up "I thought it was On the Boardwalk" and I go "Wow! You really were a white girl! Hey, dude, where'd you come up with this?" and my son goes "from your own collection, doh!"
I'm not proposing to compare R&B and doo-wop to the kind of music I usually listen to these days. Small doses of nostalgia go a long way for me. But Ben E. King was a Singer! His break from baritone to falsetto was as smooth and effortless as any baroque countertenor, and he had a gentle expressiveness that set him apart from the '60s pack. Best of all, he could sing in tune! Perfectly in tune! My 'old man' hated that teenage music and used to wig out if he found his (my!) car radio tuned to a R&B station. His taste ranged from Hank Snow to Perry Como to Frank Sinatra, none of whom could sing in tune to save their thirsty souls.
You want to understand the 'liberalism' in America that has finally allowed a man of color to become President? It started with 'crossover,' with the opportunity for Black musicians to win the ears of White teenagers. |
