The Drifters Album: “Under the Boardwalk & Other Hits [Rhino]”

There are some great oldies on this album and some great tunes to shag dance to as well. A great mix from the Drifters. Under the boardwalk & Up on the Roof are just a few.

Remember the Drifters? If you are of my generation, you'll most likely recall some of their hits, probably most notably "Under the Boardwalk." That familiar and lively song is reproduced here. So, too, are other of their well known songs, such as "Up on the Roof."

Interesting, too, is the composers of many of their songs. Leiber and Stoller are credited (along with others) for "Rat Race" and "On Broadway." Goffin and King provide "Up on the Roof" and "At the Club."

From one song to the next, this is a boatload of fun.
