This music carried a generation through hard times, wars, racism, and prejudice. The Drifters and the great music from the Brill building was a match made in musical heaven

Amen

Pure magic , classic , shows the crap up we hear today , real singers then r.i.p

[@dangreenfield8384]

So cool to see Charlie Thomas (far left) singing his original background tenor part, and he really seemed to be lovin' it -- it was probably 50 years since he had performed the song and *not* sang the lead himself.
