 | | Ironically, in all of their 19-year history with Atlantic Records, the Drifters, in any incarnation, never recorded an actual "album" session; every one of their LPs was compiled from existing single tracks and B-sides and, except for the first album, all have a mix-and-match element to the memberships and, especially, the singers represented. | | | The Drifters are part of an even more exclusive fraternity, as a group that managed to carve out a place for themselves in the R&B firmament and also define that music, not only at its inception as a national chart phenomenon in the early '50s but also in the decade that followed. | | | The Drifters were never able to make the jump comfortably to this harder brand of soul music, and the loss of Berns as a producer after 1965 seemed to seal their fate. |

| | Popular Music and Society: Save the Last Dance for Me: The Musical Legacy of the Drifters, 1953-1993. - Review - book ... |
| | As the Drifters changed and dramatically broadened their popular audience in the early '60s, their repertoire expanded to undisputed popular music classics that compare favorably with the best releases of the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Four Seasons. | | | Though far from consistent in recording personnel, highly diversified in their selection of musical material, stylistically influenced by a variety of black performers and white producers, arrangers, and songwriters, and eventually fragmented by numerous management quarrels, the vinyl manifestation of 1953-65 Drifters sounds is magnificent. | | | Tony Allen and Faye Treadwell attempt to situate the Drifters in a 40-year continuum of performing genius. |

| | By simulating all the Drifter hits, they encapsulate the evolution of a prototypical black rock and roll quartet, a presentation as vital in its way as their recordings were in theirs. | | | The Drifters perform ten songs, every one either top-thirty pop or top-five randb, and there are plenty more where those came from. | | | The Drifters are arguably the greatest black singing group in the history of rock and roll, although what that means is even more arguable. |
