The Drifters
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, October 1972
DESPITE BEING relatively cold in the States right now, The Drifters are having their most successful year ever in this country. They currently are on the Top 10 pop singles with a revival of 'Come On Over To My Place', which looks set to follow 'At The Club' and 'Saturday Night At The Movies' to the very top.
