Great article - one minor detail . Clyde Mcphatter had left the group sometime in '54 or '55 and been cutting solo singles since then . I doubt if many Drifters fans gave the new Drifters group a frosty reception because Clyde left the group ( and having big chart success) 3 or 4 years earlier.

Producer / writer Bert Berns revitalized the Drifters on record for a couple of years beginning with "Under The Boardwalk", through "I'll Take You Where The Music's Playing", "Up in The Streets of Harlem", etc.  Leiber & Stoller's production of Burt Bacharach's "Land Of Make Believe" is another classic from this period.
