Between 1953 and 1958, the Drifters were among the biggest acts in R&B. The group's members, however, were an unruly bunch, prone to offending club owners and disc jockeys. The group's manager (owner of the band's name) finally fired the entire group in a desperate act that should have spelled the end of the Drifters. In fact, it turned out to be the beginning of a spectacular run of hits.
Rather than write off his losses, manager George Treadwell found a new group to be the Drifters, this one led by the legendary Ben E. King. The rest, as they say, is history. Over the next seven years, the Drifters hit over and over again with such classics as "There Goes My Baby," "Dance with Me," "This Magic Moment," "Up on the Roof," and "Under the Boardwalk." The group even survived the departure of King, replacing him with two equally gifted frontmen, Rudy Lewis and Johnny Moore. Fans of R&B history will no doubt find the two-disc ALL TIME GREATEST HITS an indispensable addition to their collection. Another two-disc set, LET THE BOOGIE-WOOGIE ROLL, covers the group's early years.
