Biography The Drifters
The Drifters are a long-lived American doo wop/R&B vocal group, originally
formed by Clyde McPhatter (of Billy Ward & the Dominoes) in 1954.
History
The original Drifters Ahmet Ertegün of Atlantic Records approached Clyde
McPhatter after he left the Dominoes and signed him. McPhatter first
recruited several members of his former group, the Mount Lebanon Singers:
William ?Chick? Anderson (tenor), David Baldwin (baritone), and James
?Wrinkle? Johnson (bass), plus David ?Little Dave? Baughan (tenor). This
combination lasted for only a single session (from which "Lucille" was the
only song released), after which Atlantic asked McPhatter to form a
different group. He finally settled on Gerhart and Andrew Thrasher on
baritone and second tenor, respectively, Bill Pinkney on high tenor, Willie
Ferbee as bass, and Walter Adams on guitar. This is the group on the second
session, which produced the group's first major hit: "Money Honey".
