Description
TWO CLASSIC SIDES FROM THE EARLY DRIFTERS FEATURING THE VOCALS OF CLYDE McPHATTER ISSUED ON A CANADIAN QUALITY 78
HONEY LOVE
b/w WARM YOUR HEART
The Drifters were probably the most amazing R&B group that ever existed. Initially conceived as a vehicle for the voice of Atlantic Records' newly-acquired Clyde McPhatter, the Drifters weathered his eventual departure and, with over a dozen lead singers over the years, kept shifting their style to reflect changes in popular music. Thus they were able to remain with a single company for almost 18 years, having chart hits for most of that time.
"Honey Love"/"Warm Your Heart" was released in May 1954. "Honey Love" would become the Drifters' second #1 tune on the R&B chart and also entered the US Pop charts, peaking at #21. Both sides got excellent reviews the week of June 5, and the record was listed as a Pick Of The Week at the same time.
