Hit: 1 Stars
THE DRIFTERS GOLDEN HITS was a dog in 1968, and it's still flea-bitten and barking almost 40 years later. One of the first-ever collections of vocal group "retreads," the versions here are inferior to the classic Drifters 50s ATLANTIC records tracks.
Try to find the originals! (1? woofs)

Free Music Review: THIS IS THE only DRIFTERS ALBUM - THE ONE THAT WE ALL GREW UP ON
Hit: 5 Stars
JOHNNY MOORE sang: Under the Boardwalk, I've Got Sand in My Shoes, Saturday Night at the Movies.
RUDY LEWIS (d. 1964 of a heart attack, R.I.P.) sang: Some Kind of Wonderful, Up on the Roof, On Broadway.
JOHNNY LEE WILLIAMS sang: If You Cry (True Love, True Love).
BEN E. KING sang all the rest: There Goes My Baby, Dance With Me, This Magic Moment, Save the Last Dance for Me, I Count the Tears. PHEW!
(If he hadn't left, you could have added Spanish Harlem and Stand by Me to the list!)
These are the original recordings of the Drifter's greatest hits. This is one super album. We all grew up on this album.
If you totally didn't know what you were doing, and took a chance buying this album, you would be buying one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
This is just beautiful music that everyone from babies to grandparents love. If you don't like the Drifers (like Louis Armstrong), you ain't human!
Free Music Review: GOLD
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a sucker for anything by 'The Drifters';I don't believe they ever came out with a bad song.This compilation of their music from '59 to '64 is hard to beat,even as the lead singers changed from Ben E. King to Rudy Lewis to Johnny Moore.Listening to this,it's impossible not to be reminded how far popular music
has drifted-in the wrong direction.
Free Music Review: The most affordable Drifters compilation.
Hit: 5 Stars
Released in 1968, this set chronicled the golden era of the Drifters (1959-1964). This starts right off with the sound of the "new" Drifters with Ben E. King on lead: "There Goes My Baby"; timeless classic. Next "If You Cry" and "Dance With Me" a double-sided hit; both very nice, nice songs. I dig the string arrangements. The hits continue with "This Magic Moment" and
"Save The Last Dance For Me." "I Count The Tears" is one I always liked because of the "na-na-na-na-na late at night", and that's right; the Grass Roots copied that for "Let's Live For Today." Uh-uh. "Some Kind Of Wonderful" is some kind of gem; it hardly gets any attention. "Up On The Roof" and "On Broadway" feature Rudy Lewis on vocal and are ageless songs. "Under The Boardwalk" and the answer to it, "I've Got Sand In My Shoes" are really crafty and neat songs as well as "Saturday Night At The Movies" which I loved ever since I first heard it. Those three feature Johnny Moore. The Drifters were one of Atlantic Records best-selling groups and their songs are absolutely timeless and ageless never seeming to grow old. They sort of transport you to another place where you can escape the outside world. The Rhino compilation is the best alternative for this one because of track number and sound quality. Yes, this one is pretty short but the sound is quite good actually and a lot of songs are in stereo. If you're an original album collector liking to collect CD versions of old LPs, this is a definitive set.
