There NEVER was a “real” Drifters. There were several of them operating concurrently back in the day. Just like there are several Blue Man Groups and several Trans-Siberian Orchestras.
Ben. E. King. decided he didn’t want or need to be a Drifter no-more and went solo (but he kept Leiber and Stoller as songwriting/publishers).
Now THAT would have been cool to see !!
