Editorial Reviews

This 2-disc, 30-song collection shows off the Drifters' agile harmonies and impeccable song sensabilities that bridged '50s R&B and '60s soul and epitomized the vocal group essence of the Brill Building era with a sound that was both streetwise and as sweet as soul music gets.

This collection is all I dreamed it would be. For years I have tried and failed to obtain a collection of the Drifters songs that included both Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King as the lead singers. After having purchased several albums and CDs that purported to be the "real and original Drifters", I gave up. However when I saw "The Definitive Soul Collection, I decided to give it one more try. I have purchased several other artists from this company and was pleased with the result. Their record remains unblemished. I am thrilled to have at last found the truly "definitive" Drifters compilation. This CD contains their early 50's songs as well as those they later recorded in the 60's. A bonus is the excellent sound quality. This is an excellent product and I wholeheartedly recommend it to my fellow Drifter fans.

I read some of the reviews for this double album and was sure that it was what I wanted. When I first played it, I decided I liked the second CD the best and replayed it two more times. The words from each of the songs came right back to me years after I had heard them. The voices of the Drifters are clear and wonderful. This is a good one to own.
