The Drifters are several American doo-wop and R&B/soul vocal groups. They were originally formed as a backing group for Clyde McPhatter. The second group of Drifters, formed in 1959 and led by Ben E. King, were originally an up-and-coming group named The Five Crowns. After 1965 members drifted in and out of both groups and many of these formed other groups of Drifters as well. Several groups of Drifters can trace roots back to these original groups, but contain few if any original members such as Charles Thomas, Clyde McPhatter, Bill Pinkney, Ben E. King, and John Moore.

Presenters of these documentaries should do more research before releasing. No mention of Rudy Lewis in this presentation and he was one of their best lead singers along with Johnny Moore. Do some more research in the future please.

How can you give a "history" of the Drifters without mentioning Ben E. King's replacement, Rudy Lewis, who sung lead on two of their biggest hits, "On Broadway" and "Up On The Roof"??

I love them. I want to see them perform in Heaven

Good that you featured the group. A follow up would be great , then you can make mention of legendary but short lived Rudy Lewis. His Burt Bacharach written songs were awesome.

Rudy Lewis was my favorite singer from the Drifters after Ben E. King and he wasn't even mentioned.
