Artist:The Drifters
Song:Adorable
Album:Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters/Rockin' & Driftin'
The Drifters had such a long history and so many incarnations that you need a scorecard. This twofer has one album with Clyde McPhatter and one recorded after he left in 1955. Adorable is a beautiful song sung by his replacement Johnny Moore. The song was written by Buck Ram for his group The Colts. He would wind up with The Platters. Adorable was Moore's first song with The Drifters. He was drafted in 1956 and left but would eventually return to The Drifters in 1963 and sing Under The Boardwalk. Rhino has issued a Drifters box set and I'm sure that deals with their complicated history. They sure made great music.
