"The Drifters were the all time greatest Atlantic recording group"

said Ahmet Ertegun, founder of the Atlantic Recording Company

and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  In 1988 the Rockhall inducted

the seven significant contributors to The Drifters' legacy - originals

Clyde McPhatter, Bill Pinkney, and Gerhardt Thrasher, along with

subsequent members  Ben E. King, Charlie Thomas, Rudy Lewis,

and Johnny Moore.  Only King and Thomas are alive today.

You have reached the international business office of The Original

Drifters (legally continuing entity of Bill Pinkney, the last surviving

original member from 1953), and a 1998 Rhythm & Blues Foundation

Pioneer Award.  Although personnel and management changes over

the years have led to many permutations of The Drifters, Pinkney 

used the name/mark ORIGINAL DRIFTERS since 1958.

Committed to keeping alive the name and sounds of the fifties for

54 glorious years, he joined the celestial choir on July 4, 2007.
