Just done some more research on The Drifters. They started out in 1954, so all the original members would be around 104 by now. Eek

Nevertheless the guy in the pic was the lead singer most of the way through the 70's.

Picture the scene...a hot and crowded (but smokeless) dinner dance evening. The dancefloor is heaving and this guy with the smooth, velvet voice glides through the throng with a radio mike, melting women as he goes whilst soulfully singing all the Drifter's hits: Under The Boardwalk, Kissin In The Back Row, Saturday Night at the Movies, Hello Happiness, Up On The Roof, Save The Last Dance For Me...etc etc.

All the while his two backing singers professionally provide all the doo-waps and slick dance moves.

A magical evening with a shed load of money raised for a local children's charity. Smile ....even if we did regret it a tad the next morning.
