@Doi Haley...Hi...you must be so proud of your dad...I do have other Drifter clips not on here...ie There goes my baby/memories are made of this/up on the roof/on broadway...but sadly can't upload on here.
Doi Haley Johnny Moore was a tremendous talent. Was lucky to see him perform many times in New York City. Loved him. No singer had a greater range. Enormous talent and nice person too.
Johnny Moore ,Ben E King,Rudy Lewis,all those great lead singers of the Mighty Mighty Drifters made my teenage years something special.Memories to last for eternity!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤
Fabulous blast from the past. Wasn’t Gene a cool dancer? Poor Johnny Terry look scared stiff and Charlie happily winged it. God bless them all, I love them still. Xxxx
Looking forward to performing with this band along with The Platters and Coasters at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, IA. tomorrow night, 20 October 2018. DAVID L. SAELENS (drums). I live in rock Island, IL.
Johnny coming back was a great last gasp for The Drifters before all that classy, harmonious, synchronized, in-tune stuff became passe', wasn't it? I mean, tuxedos? Really? Looking like gentlemen ready for a night at the club? Wow, how prehistoric. RIP, boys.
The Drifters also benefitted from the Songwriting Legacy of The Late Jerry Leiber (RIP) who did The Words and Mike Stoller (Music). They did On Broadway and There Goes My Baby. Ben E. King also was in the Group before going solo. I love this Channel. So many amazing rare performances.
probably the best group in r n r history.charlie thomas was not an original but he deserves alot of credit for keeping the name alive and the group going strong.
GARFIELD MALONEY........You're half right, but basically wrong. Neither was a member of the "original" Drifters, but both became Drifters at the same time--summer of 1958 when the group's manager reorganized the group. "Original" Drifters were not successful and very short-lived before being reconstituted in mid-1953. I believe that Clyde McPhatter was the lead singer of the first two lineups, but the second group also featured Bill Pinkney, Willie Ferbie, etc. and scored several big hits in '53--'54 before McPhatter left the group for a solo career. 1-12-18
If anyone has a film or video from Charlie and the Drifters at Harvard university on December 2, 1972 please be kind enough to put it up. It was a five part appearance. The record is on RUclips but I would like to "see" the performance. Thank you
I knew charlie in the 70,s.used to shoot pool with him at a club in banksville n.y.really good guy.at the time he was not in group because of a lawsuit .I believe the lead at the time was named fredricks.but when you m really talk about the group you gotta go back before charlie Ben e and Rudy lewis.you gotta go back to the beginning.even though it was basically a different group.they were super.the later drifters became really commercialized and their music was very similar ,,every record.but all together they were super.
You mean back to Clyde McPhatter,Bill Pinkney,the Thrasher brothers,Willie Ferbee &Walter Adams on guitar,or back further to Clyde,Chick Anderson,Charlie White,David Baldwin,Little Dave Baughan & Wrinkle Johnson.
wow! this is better then better to see footage of the Drifters! i would love to see if there is any footage with Rudy Lewis on TV before he passed away if there such a thing? Does anybody know if there ever any footage with him on TV?
+Dean garretson I'm sure I remember seeing The Rudy Lewis-led Drifters lip sinking to "Up On The Roof" on a "teen dance Show". But, I can't remember which one.
Dean - I've been searching for years for live footage of the incredible Rudy Lewis but, alas, to no avail! I'll continue to search but I'm not very confident.
Dean garretson - No disrespect to Ben E King, Rudy Lewis was the best lead singer the Drifters ever had! Unfortunately, he died just before the recording session of Under The Boardwalk!
Robert Velez.........Clyde McPhatter wasn't exactly chopped liver !! You're entitled to your opinion but who's to say--they were all great in their own way. There could be nothing to question if you said R.L. was YOUR favorite. Hate these "debates"; they're just silly and prove nothing, IMHO !!! 4-20-19

Did any group have as many great lead singers as the Drifters? Right now it's Johnny Moore for me. Dynamite lead on this song.
Seeing Sammy Davis Jr, And The Drifters on The same stage is priceless. 💯
Absolutely brilliant loved the drifters, particularly down at the club. Loved it.

Absolutely. My favourite song too! 👍🏼😊

superb track by the ,still sadly missed,Johnny Moore . He passed away on 30th. December 1998
One of the greatest groups in music history yet they are rarely shown in television particularly in the 1960's! Figure that out!
Hi Robert...They appeared 5 times on WTAI singing 7 tunes :-)
Robert Velez I've always wondered too, why there's no live footage of the Drifters. I'm sorry but I've never been able to figure it out.
I just love this footage cuz I always remember that voice of Johnny Moore God could he sing rest
FANTASIC. GREAT POST love and peace. j Vincent Edwards

approx 5 years ago charlie put out a cd with all redone songs with him on lead.i heard it once and it was great.
Looking forward to performing with this band along with The Platters and Coasters at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, IA. tomorrow night, 20 October 2018. DAVID L. SAELENS (drums). I live in rock Island, IL.

johny moore is a legend
probably the best group in r n r history.charlie thomas was not an original but he deserves alot of credit for keeping the name alive and the group going strong.
bluenote824 jones Charlie Thomas was an original Drifters. He started at the same time as Ben E King.

bluenote824 jones I loved Charlie, look at that smile! Bless.
Egbert Souce But lead singer Johnny Moore served 2 tours with the Drifters. 1955-57 and again 1963 until his untimely death.
@@egbertsouce3895 The first version was Clyde Mcphatter,William Anderson,Charlie White,David Baughan,David Baldwin,& James Johnson.
If anyone has a film or video from Charlie and the Drifters at Harvard university on December 2, 1972 please be kind enough to put it up. It was a five part appearance. The record is on RUclips but I would like to "see" the performance. Thank you
Just fantastic, thank you for sharing this
ILMJXXX- Do you have all 5 appearances of the Drifters on Where The Action Is on video?If so, I believe most people would be excited to view them!
Is that the original audio, I love it, all these clips would be great if they were available on a DVD!!!!!!! Have we found a Rudy Lewis clip yet?
Hi David it is the original audio in that clip...I like to upload exactly how I got the footage...As for Rudy Lewis? Still searching :-)
I knew charlie in the 70,s.used to shoot pool with him at a club in banksville n.y.really good guy.at the time he was not in group because of a lawsuit .I believe the lead at the time was named fredricks.but when you m really talk about the group you gotta go back before charlie Ben e and Rudy lewis.you gotta go back to the beginning.even though it was basically a different group.they were super.the later drifters became really commercialized and their music was very similar ,,every record.but all together they were super.

Well, Friday night
Has finally come around
And me and my baby gonna
Head for a spot we found
We're gonna forget our cares
And dance on into the night
Down at the club (down at the club)
Whoa, everything is out of sight
(Down at the club) down at the club
We're gonna say that it's all right
For two bits and a dollar
They've got a swinging show or you
Whoa, yes, they do
And the band won't quit
'Til everybody tell them to
And when they place that slow dance
You can hold your baby tight
Down at the club (down at the club)
Whoa, everything is out of sight
(Down at the club) down at the club
We're gonna say that it's all right
Hey, they've got lots of pretty
Dancing girls for the fellows
But, oh, you better watch out
In case your baby get jealous
Now some people might like to sit
And watch a picture show
But if that's what your plans are
Don't ask me to go
Cause I'll be where the good times
Last 'til the early morning light
Down at the club (down at the club)
Whoa, everything is out of sight
(Down at the club) down at the club
They're gonna say that it's all right
It's all right (it's all right)
It's all right (it's all right)
It's all right (it's all right)
Let me tell you, it's all right
Goffin and king song 😍
My favourite.
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil song with Johnny Moore on lead

Yea yea yea, dance all night long
Can anyone tell me where JM was buried ?
