Description
The Drifters were the most successful R'n'B / R'n'R group of the 1950s and '60s and Ben E. King was their lead singer between 1958-60, before leaving for a solo career.
This fantastic 2CD set is the follow up to "The Drifters – All the Singles, 1953-58" (JASCD 526). It comprises everything recorded by both The Drifters and Be E. King between 1958-61. Disc one features thirteen of The Drifters hits, including the million selling "There Goes My Baby", "Dance With Me", "(If You Cry) True Love, True Love" and their biggest hit, "Save The Last Dance For Me". Also included is the incredibly rare "Kiss and Make Up", recorded when the group were known as The Crowns.
Disc two features seven Ben E. King solo hits, including the million selling "Spanish Harlem", "First Taste of Love", "Staned by Me" and "Amor".
