The Drifters

The Drifters are a long-lived African-American doo wop/R&B vocal group with a peak in popularity from 1953 to 1962, though several splinter Drifters continue to perform today. They were originally formed by Clyde McPhatter (of Billy Ward & the Dominoes) in 1953. Rolling Stone magazine states that The Drifters were the least stable of the vocal groups due to being low-paid hired musicians of The Drifters' management.^[1] The Treadwell Drifters website states that there have been 60 vocalists in the history of the Treadwell Drifters line.^[2] Several splinter groups by former Drifters members add to the count. Nevertheless, there are two iterations of The Drifters which are notable. The first classic Drifters formed by Clyde McPhatter was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as The Drifters or The Original Drifters.^[3] The second Drifters formed by Treadwell featuring Ben E. King was separately inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as Ben E. King and The Drifters.^[4] In their induction, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame eclectically selected four members from the classic Drifters, two from the second Drifters, and one from the post-King Treadwell Drifters^[5]. According to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, "Through turmoil and changes the (original) Drifters managed to set musical trends and give the public 13 chart hits, most of which are legendary recordings today."^[3]

THE DRIFTERS - UP ON THE ROOF

* When this old world starts getting me down
and people are just too much for me to face
i climb way up to the top of the stairs
and all my cares just drift right into space
on the roof, it's peaceful as can be
and there the world below can't bother me
let me tell you now
When i come home feelin' tired and beat
i go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
i get away from the hustling crowd
and all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
on the roof, the only place i know
where you just have to wish to make it so
let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

at night the stars put on a show for free
and, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
i've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
and if this world starts getting you down
there's room enough for two
up on the roof (up on the roof)
up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
fade
Everything is all right (up on the roof)

* You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
you can smile ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
but don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm
Oh, i know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have your fun
laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
but don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm
Baby don't you know i love you so
can't you feel it when we touch
i will never never let you go
i love you oh so much
You can dance go and carry on till the night is gone and it's time to go
if he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you must tell him no
'cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's you're gonna be
so darlin save the last dance for me
Music interlude
'cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's your gonna be
so darlin save the last dance for me mmmm
Save the last dance for me mmmm
Save the last dance for me
