Mouthwatering lyrics from one of the classic summer hits of all-time. It peaked at Number Four in 1964 but had enough staying power on the Hot 100 to wind up the year ranked number 33. What song was it?
The correct answer is 'Under The Boardwalk'
This would be the third biggest song the group would record following "Save The Last Dance For Me" in 1960 and "There Goes My Baby" in 1959. During that period, Ben E. King was their lead singer then from 1961 to 1963, Rudy Lewis took over the role. Just before this song was slated for recording, Lewis died of a heart attack (at the age of 27 perhaps from an eating binge) and Johnny Moore replaced him.
Clyde McPhatter formed the original Drifters in 1953 and a recent glance at their web page suggested that they were still active with one original member, Bill Pinkney. However, the last update on the group’s activities dates back to 2001 so it’s tough to say whether they are still performing… or even exist! They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1988.
