The Drifters

The Drifters are not typically recognized as an artistic organization in terms of a venue or ensemble, but rather as a famous musical group. The Drifters are an American doo-wop and R&B/soul vocal group that formed in the early 1950s. They are renowned for their rich vocal harmonies and contributed significantly to the development of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Notable hits include “Under the Boardwalk,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” and “This Magic Moment.” Over the years, The Drifters have seen multiple lineup changes, with Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King, and Johnny Moore being among the most notable members. The group achieved considerable success in the 1950s and 1960s and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Because they are a musical group rather than an organization in the traditional sense, a more precise venue or artistic entity named 'The Drifters' would require additional context or location information to identify.
