Markymarkmark Jul 2020 2:55pm, 22 Jul 2020 12,220 posts	0 Markymarkmark Nico, I'm not sure there was more than one group - but their membership is clearly rather "linear" given their longevity. Pretty sure some of the originals retired from the group, sung stuff, and then died, whilst others have still been in the group!
Nellers Jul 2020 3:01pm, 22 Jul 2020 36,778 posts	0 Nellers From Wikipedia: According to Rolling Stone magazine, the Drifters were the least stable of the great vocal groups, as they were low-paid musicians[2] hired by George Treadwell, who owned the Drifters' name from 1955, after McPhatter left. There have been 60 vocalists in the history of the Treadwell Drifters line,[3] including several splinter groups by former Drifters members (not under Treadwell's management). These groups are usually identified with a possessive credit such as "Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters", "Charlie Thomas' Drifters".

I'm pretty sure there was an alternative group touring Europe at the same time. * That's how I rolled, Wham and The Drifters
