The Drifters

The Drifters, formed by Clyde McPhatter in 1953, became iconic in R&B and pop with hits like "Money Honey" and "There Goes My Baby." They worked with Atlantic Records, producers like Leiber & Stoller, and songwriters Ben E. King. Recognized for lineup changes, their unique string arrangements blended R&B and pop. Key tracks included "Under the Boardwalk" and "Save the Last Dance for Me." With multiple awards and enduring influence, their music bridged genres. Various lawsuits over the name ensued, culminating in the trademark's 1990s ownership by Faye Treadwell.
