| Clyde
McPhatter was the original lead singer of The Drifters, founder, and
named the group. |
| Ben
E King (Stand By Me) was a subsequent lead singer of the Drifters. |
| Both
"Saturday night" and "movies" appeared in two
of their record titles ! |
| "Half
the world" seems to have been a member of the Drifters, at one
time or another. |
| The
manager owned the name and changed the line-up regularly. There are
on-going claims to being "the" Drifters. |
Cliff
Richard's backing group, the Shadows, was originally called the Drifters
(no connection),
and in UK many referred to the Drifters as the American Drifters to
distinguish them (at least until the name change). |
