Coolnotes Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just an early heads up on another Beverley's Knight West End musical venture due to run at The Garrick Theatre from October 2020 to Feb 2021 . Apparently its a biographical and musical production around the role of Faye Treadwell's who took over management of The Drifters after her husband died in 1967. The various variations of this commercially successful vocal group are legendary and very complex and are still being contested, at one point there were believed to be up to 60 variations and the Treadwell family spent years fighting them and seeking to revive The Drifters success with Atlantic Records. . Rather than trawl through claim and counter claim and Id direct you to her Guardian 2011 obituary . Whilst The Drifters don't attract much critical acclaim in Soul circles Im a fan and also keen to support our own soul legend Beverley Knight . https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jun/14/faye-treadwell-obituary https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jun/14/faye-treadwell-obituary Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
