Created in 1953 by George Treadwell and Clyde McPhatter, George Treadwell managed The Drifters and laid the foundation of what would make them one of the greatest groups of all time. Clyde McPhatter was the lead singer of the group that also saw numerous members over the years but two others stood out above the rest. Johnny Moore and Ben E King. After George’s untimely death in 1967, it was down to his widow Faye to continue with the group and to determine the direction they would take. Faye took the Drifters onto great achievements that saw the group grow to well and truly become a household name.
