The Drifters - Golden Legends: The Drifters Album

Amongst many R&B groups that came along in the 1950s and 1960s The Drifters stand out and their Golden Hits album shows why. Here, you’ll find timeless classics like “Dance With Me”, “There Goes My Baby”, “Saturday Night At The Movies,” ”'On Broadway,” “'Under The Boardwalk” and '”Some Kind Of Wonderful.” As testimony to their greatness, these tunes have been covered over and over again, but no versions sound as sweet as The Drifters’ renditions with Ben E. King on lead vocals. The Drifters not only carved a niche for themselves in the crowded R&B market, but actually came to define the music the group glorified. This disc should be an essential component of any rock aficionados’ collection.
