The Drifters

The Drifters

The Drifters is a vocal group from the United States, formed in May 1953 under the guidance of producers Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler. Initially created to showcase the high tenor of Clyde McPhatter, formerly of The Dominoes, the group quickly gained prominence in the rhythm and blues genre. After McPhatter departed in late 1955, The Drifters continued to thrive despite frequent lineup changes, maintaining their status as one of the most popular R&B acts through the mid-1960s. Their legacy includes timeless hits like "Under the Boardwalk" and "Save the Last Dance for Me," which have left a lasting impact on the genre.
