The Drifters
February 21, 8:00 p.m.
One of rock & roll’s founding vocal groups, The Drifters, are once again on the road. Through an historical journey, which included legendary lead singers such as Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King, the group's ongoing story has covered the entire spectrum of rock & roll. They were the first musical group to integrate string instruments into rhythm & blues music with their hauntingly beautiful song, "There Goes My Baby." They were the first musical group to sell 2 million records with their pop classic, "Up On The Roof." Along with fellow inductees theRolling Stones, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Supremes, the Drifters were in the first class of rock & roll legends to be initiated into the Hall of Fame and the first African American group to be inducted. Their classic tune "Under The Boardwalk" is the most played R&B record of all time. Join us in celebration of their 50-year catalogue of memorable hits.
