For over four decades, The Drifters have been a trend-setting Rhythm-&-Blues group with numerous chart-topping hits to their credit. First entering Billboard's Top 40 in June, 1959 with "There Goes My Baby," The Drifters went all the way to the number two position, bound for stardom with a million-dollar seller under their belts on their first try. The hits were non-stop as The Drifters rose in popularity on Billboard's Top 40 on the Atlantic record label.

In September of 1960, The Drifters hit again with "Save the Last Dance for Me," a number-one recording that spent fourteen weekend weeks on Billboard's Top 40. "Up on the Roof" made 1962 a memorable year, followed by the other popular hit "On Broadway" in 1963. In July of 1964, The Drifters entered the Top 40 again with the unforgettable "Under the Boardwalk," a number four hit single (and to date, most requested song) that spent twelve weeks on the charts.

The Drifters entertain year round at concert halls, convention halls, conventions, private parties, and on cruises as well as making television appearances. They receive accolades whenever they perform.

Audiences are dazzled by their stage appearance, smooth lyrics, and are excited when invited to be involved in their performances, whether it be dancing, singing along, or both.

Bennie sings lead and second tenor harmonies and has been an integral part of the group's overall sound for more than four decades. He had the pleasure of singing with original members that started in 1953 such as Gay Thasher and Bill Pickney. Born in West Point, Georgia, Bennie moved to Atlanta at an early age where he currently resides. He enjoys song writing, a challenging game of basketball, and singing gospel songs while playing the piano.

A Drifter since 1969, he sings first tenor, second tenor and lead vocals on such songs as "There Goes My Baby." Known to his friends as "Mose" he comes from the mountain country of Tennessee; however, Atlanta is now his home. When you can't find him "Under the Boardwalk," you can find him at the local Bowling Center, as bowling is his favorite pasttime.

Formerly The Drifters' stage manager, Ernell is the newest member of the group--he joined in 1991. Singin bass, he takes the lead on the Drifters classic recording, "White Christmas." He is affectionately called Elliot Ness because of the unique hats he wears.

Singing both baritone and second tenor, George Wallace's career with The Drifters began in 1962. He sings lead on the hits "Ruby Baby," "Up on the Roof" and others. He has always been known as the old man of the group, but steadfastly refuses to tell his age. Wallace, affectionately called "Bone-Crusher" because of his thin build, hails from Atlanta, Georgia.

David joined the group in 1982 from Charleston, South Carolina where he was lead vocalist of the "Charleston Connection" show band. Other groups he worked with include The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, The Tams, and the famous Coasters. His pure and dynamic voice sings lead on classic Drifter hits--"Under the Boardwalk," "Sand in My Shoes," and "Saturday Night at the Movies."
