Under the boardwalk & up on the roof
There's seldom a wrong time to listen to the Drifters, ultimately my favourite pop group of them all. This is the best compilation available, for one simple reason: unlike all the others I've seen this one includes their often overlooked 1967 flop Baby What I Mean, one of the most exciting pop-soul numbers of its era - and a Northern Soul favourite to boot.It's got all the tracks you could ever want, but (oh, the relief) it excludes the lesser Drifters hits they had in the mid-seventies with mostly pale imitations of earlier classics, penned by British songwriters. (If you want those tracks, look elsewhere.)Some of my most loved Drifters songs weren't hits here in the UK, such as the wonderful Come On Over To My Place, their blissful original of Sweets For My Sweet, the joyous I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing, the funkier If You Don't Come Back and One Way Love, the insinuating I'll Take You Home, the great On Broadway (nope, not a hit!), as well as the astonishing Up in The Streets of Harlem, their lovely version of Memories Are Made of This, and the deliciously lazy Sand in My Shoes.One sad omission is the glorious He's Just a Playboy, one of their very best songs - but I've got that on the Definitive collection that came out a few years before this one.But, as I say, it does have Baby What I Mean, and that excuses a lot.I love the Drifters more than I can say (can you tell?) and there's so much great music here that I can only listen and marvel. Some of their earliest tracks are included, but it was when singers Ben E. King then Johnny Moore and Rudy Lewis joined the line-up that they really shook the place up. Moore was one of the most amazing soul singers of his time, and should be spoken of in the same breath as David Ruffin of the Temptations or the Four Tops' Levi Stubbs. It's Moore's vocal that powers along Baby What I Mean...The booklet notes are fine, reminding us among other things of the poignant day in 1964 following the sudden death of Lewis, who was scheduled to record the vocal for Under the Boardwalk. Moore sang it instead, but such was the grief all felt in the studio that sad day, that it accounts for the downbeat atmosphere of their otherwise classic recording, Moore audibly holding himself in while singing with his characteristic passion. (It was, unaccountably, not a hit here either!)A great compilation of a fantastic group whose music will never date.
