This was not the 1st recording of the original Drifters. This was the revised group. Led by Clyde and Bill Pinkney. Bill was singing Tenor in the background. Bill is a natural Bass/Baritone. The original group of Drifters did not have the sound Atlantic executives were looking for however, and Clyde was prompted to assemble another group of singers. The revised lineup recorded and released such hits as Money Honey, Such a Night, Honey Love, White Christmas and Whatcha Gonna Do, with the record label proudly displaying the group name Clyde McPhatter & the Drifters. (The story of the Drifters is full of personnel changes. The first group of Drifters Clyde assembled were mostly members of the Mount Lebanon Singers.) The 1st song of the original Drifters was Lucille written by Clyde himself posted below. youtu.be/N8oNHMNCSjQ
