A by-the-numbers, chronological collection that hits all the commercial highlights of the Drifters' Golden Era (1959-64)--after the frequently dazzling early records with Clyde McPhatter, but featuring the consummate vocal stylings of Ben E. King, Rudy Lewis, Johnny Moore, and more on 16 memorable hits. Among the pinnacles: "There Goes My Baby," the record whose unsettling, soaring strings launched the soul era; the romantic perfection of "Save the Last Dance for Me," "This Magic Moment," and the contagiously catchy, Latin-bouncing "Sweets for My Sweet;" and the eternally evocative cityscapes of "Up on the Roof," "Under the Boardwalk," and the stark, gritty "On Broadway." Sleepers include the heartrending Bacharach ballad "Please Stay," "I Count the Tears" (ripped off later on the Grass Roots hit "Let's Live for Today"), and "When My Little Girl Is Smiling," on which strings foreshadow the folk-rock movement. An ideal starter kit on these seminal uptown soul pioneers; those seeking further revelations (and there are plenty of them) are referred to Rockin' & Driftin': The Drifters Box. --Ken Barnes

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful Music.......2007-08-01

As far as I'm concerned songs numbered 1, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 14 are, in themselves, enough to make this CD a bargain for the listed price. Anything else you may like is an added bonus. Great voices and great music to play over and over again.

4 out of 5 stars GOOD SONGS AND VALUE.......2007-01-12

this cd has a good sound and variety of their greatest hits. you must be a drifter's fan to enjoy this one.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation but not remastered.......2006-09-20

The sound is excellent but this is not a remastered compilation as some reviewers have claimed. It is an AAD recording made from the original singles masters.

5 out of 5 stars The joy of being 'up on the roof '.......2006-06-12

The Drifters have a number of very good songs, including 'Under the Boardwalk' and 'Broadway'.But they have, and this is the reason I am writing this review one of the greatest of all songs of their time, the incredible 'Upon the Roof'.
This song is one which simply lifts the spirit up in tremendous joy. And it is one of those songs which can be heard over and over again without ever seeming to lose its freshness.

3 out of 5 stars All mono recordings.......2006-04-10

I was quite disappointed with this CD and Ben E King's " The Best
Of" because both are mono records. Except when I heard the songs
back then on the radio, on most LP's- released in the 60's-
all of their recordings were in full stereo. The songs are
great, no doubt, but should I have known this before I would
have chosen other "greatest hits" compilations in stereo.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best Ben E King compilation by far!.......2007-06-17

Here we have all the hits + the 3 big Drifters' hits when Ben was their
leadsinger. After the first Drifters success Ben received a ridiculous
500 $ "salary" and he decided he'd better be off by himself. Before
leaving in 1960 he recorded 3 more songs as leader of the Drifters
that became huge hits (Save the Last Dance, I Count the Tears and This
Magic Moment)Then as a solo singer he recorded Stand By Me in 1961 and
the rest is history. This song is considered as one of the greatest
in music history. The reason why I consider this the best compilation
ever is because of the sound quality. All songs are in full stereo and
I just don't understand why other Drifters and Ben E King compilations
are rather bad mono recordings. Hearing all these wonderful hits in
full stereo make the other compilations worthless.
Highly recommendable!

5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2007-05-13

Early Rock And Roll with a mix of Blues good stuff for the ears

5 out of 5 stars Ex-Drifters lead singer made great solo music.......2005-03-30

Born Benjamin Earl Nelson but known as Ben E King by the time he achieved fame as lead singer of the Drifters, Ben did not have many big solo hits but he nevertheless made an important contribution to popular music.

This compilation includes three of his American hits as lead singer of the Drifters. All three are brilliant but the most famous is Save the last dance for me, which has been recorded by a multitude of singers in several different styles of music. It has also been translated into several languages and many great covers have been recorded in France, Germany and elsewhere.

Following the success of Save the last dance for me, Ben opted for a solo career. He had fewer hits as a solo artist than his former group had without him, but Stand by me (later to become the theme song of an eighties movie) ensures his place in pop music history as a solo singer, while his other great solo records include Spanish Harlem, Amor, Don't play that song and I who have nothing. Ben made a brief comeback in the American charts with Supernatural thing in the mid-seventies.

Ben's first (minor) UK hit, First taste of love, is also included, together with his covers of such classics as Dream lover, Moon river, It's all in the game, On the street where you live and Will you love me tomorrow.

This is a fine compilation that contains all the important solo tracks from Ben's career, plus three Drifters tracks.

4 out of 5 stars Good but Routine.......2004-10-02

There are clearly some memorable songs on this CD but there are at least 6 tunes that are "covers" and were done originally by other artists whom you think of when you hear them. Try the CD, "Very Best of Ben E. King". Those songs belong only to him.

5 out of 5 stars What a sound!!.......2000-09-19

I have long been a Drifters fan and admired Ben E. King when he was their lead singer; but I never really appreciated his talents until I heard this album. Ben E. King is truly a soulful singer, and many of the songs on this album will have you wondering why he hasn't been more appreciated. If you like Jerry Butler, the Drifters, Jackie Wilson or Clyde McPhatter, then you will have to like this album. Wish I had found it years ago!!

          This is really a zero. Because these are not the real singers, just impersonaters trying to be the original. I hate these cds like this that really rip people off. I should sue the people that made this and get my money back, I wouldnt recommend one single song on this pathetic peice of crap that you call a cd. This cd sucks and i should just throw it away. Whoever the guy that sings as Ben E. King is not me, these people are making me look bad.

          1 out of 5 stars Another one in disguise.......1999-03-11

          How many of these so-called Drifters greatest hits album is the record industry going to come out with with non-standard, non-hit, ridiculous acoustic recordings of classic songs? The same question can be applied to the Platters, who also have had their classic songs foisted to the public on a bunch of greatest hits albums that feature pathetic cuts of songs of which the public wants to hear from the original performers! This Ben E. King and Drifters album is not nearly as bad as some of the other ones, but "Stand by Me" and "There Goes My Baby"--and just about EVERY song on this album are not the versions that became hits--not the ones that MADE ME GET OUT OF BED TO GET THIS CD! The record industry is really ripping off its consumers with these stupid imitations!

          4 out of 5 stars This CD will please all of those who are fans of Rock & Roll.......1999-03-02

          I don't know about other people, but I just can't manage to stay away from Rock & Roll. Now, today, with this Rap and Hip Hop junk, albums like this one aren't talked about anymore. But it should be. Songs like STAND BY ME, SPANISH HARLEM, and SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME make it terrific. This CD is one of the best Ben King albums out there right now, basically because it has the Drifters as well. This album couldn't possibly fail with the hits that it contains. However, there were some songs that I didn't like, but there were only a few, and the ones I did like certainly outweighed this. I heartily reccomend this album to all oldies lovers. It is like the rose in Spanish Harlem.

            5 out of 5 stars Track listing wrong.......2007-06-12

            This is more a note than a review: the track listing given above for this album is wrong. CDDB has the correct tracks, matching what's listed on the CD itself. In other words, if you're looking for "Up On the Roof," this CD does not have the song.

            5 out of 5 stars Their seventies recordings .......2005-02-21

            There were several phases to the careers of the Drifters, but this compilation focuses on their seventies music. In Britain, they were much more successful in the singles charts than they had been in the sixties, when many of their best songs were hits via British cover versions. Their only major sixties hit in Britain was Save the last dance for me, here represented via a re-recording. A re-issue of At the club / Saturday night at the movie made the UK top three in 1972 and was followed into the top ten by a re-issue of Come on over to my place, though none of those songs is reprised here. In America, it was altogether different - they had plenty of major hits there up to 1965, after which they disappeared almost totally from the singles charts.

            Following the success of those re-issues, the Drifters secured a British recording contract on the Bell label. Some of the best British songwriters of the time (Tony Macauley, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway) provided the Drifters with songs stylistically reminiscent of their sixties hits, updated just enough to suit the customers of the seventies.

            Kissing in the back row of the movies, Down on the beach, tonight, Like sister and brother, Can I take you home little girl, There goes my first love, Hello happiness, Every night's a Saturday night with you, Love games and You're more than a number in my little red book all made the British charts, most of them reaching the top ten. This compilation also includes several covers including Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond), Something tells me (Cilla Black), Always something there to remind me (Sandie Shaw), Summer in the city (Lovin' Spoonful).

            This is an excellent collection of the Drifters' seventies recordings.

            5 out of 5 stars Diamonds in the rough.......2001-09-09

            It has been said (and I largely agree) that the early years of the 1960's, the period between the birth of rock and roll and the coming of the Beatles were mediocre times indeed for popular music. This collection proves that there are exceptions to every rule. The group of studio musicians who recorded these gems as the Drifters kept us all going while we unknowingly awaited the "British Invasion", and these classics stand well the test of time. One has to be careful in selecting "Best of" compilations, rest assured these are the original recordings excellently remastered.
