HISTORY
The original Drifters were a black doo-wop group of the mid-late 50s to the mid 60s. Members of the group were (early 1950s): Clyde McPhatter (lead singer), Gerhart Thrasher, Andrew Thrasher, and Bill Pinkney. In 1958, the Drifters' manager, George Treadwell, disbanded that group and brought in the former Five Crowns. From this point on, the main lead singers of the Drifters were: Ben E. King, Rudy Lewis, and Johnny Moore. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1988. Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King went solo, and Rudy Lewis died of a heart attack. Johnny Moore died in December 1998. Sole surviving original Drifter Bill Pinkney continues to tour regularly with his group.
