2021 Celebrity Concert Series: The Drifters

The Drifters were the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with fellow inductees The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Supremes. Rolling Stone magazine, in their iconic issue “500 Greatest Rock and Roll Performers” said of the Drifters, “No group has done it this well for this long–no one, not even the Rolling Stones.” Through their historic journey which began in the 1957, the Drifters have had no less than 5 legendary lead singers including Rock and Roll hall of Famers Clyde McPhatter and Ben E. King. Such stalwart and famed individual lead singers as Charley Thomas, Bill Pinkney and Johnny Moore have passed through the group over the years, each recording their share of Drifters hits. And today, as has been the case for nearly 25 years, their star lead singer is Jerome Jackson.
