Análisis (en inglés) - :
Although initially touted as the triumphant return of {$the Drifters}, 1965's {^I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing} ended up as a bittersweet farewell to the combo's final incarnation during the 1960s. The personnel included {$Johnny Moore} (lead vocals), {$Charles Thomas} (tenor and lead vocals), {$Eugene Pearson} (baritone vocals), {$John Terry} (bass vocals), and {$Billy Davis} aka {$Abdul Samad} (guitar). Following the tragic death of {$Rudy Lewis} in June of 1964 -- the day before they were to record the classic {&"Under the Boardwalk"} -- {$Moore} and {$Thomas} divided up the lead vocal responsibilities. The material was certainly top-shelf, with contributions from legendary Brill Building denizens {$Jeff Barry} and {$Ellie Greenwich} ({&"I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing"}); {$Carole King} and {$Gerry Goffin} ({&"At the Club"}); {$Doc Pomus} and {$Mort Shuman} ({&"Spanish Lace"}); {$Cynthia Weil} and {$Barry Mann} ({&"Come on Over to My Place"}); a young {$Kenny Gamble}, who teams up with {$Jimmy Bishop} ({&"Chains of Love"}); and {$Arthur Resnick} and {$Kenny Young} ({&"I've Got Sand in My Shoes"}). Incidentally, it was the latter pairing who penned the international hit {&"Under the Boardwalk."} Legendary producer/songwriter {$Bert Berns} also gets in on the act, contributing one of the project's highlights, the heartfelt ballad {&"I Don't Want to Go on Without You."} Perhaps owing to the phenomenal acclaim of {&"Under the Boardwalk,"} {$Berns} sticks to the somewhat prescribed light pop arrangements that are -- more often than not -- augmented with a equally ersatz string section. The results, while at once musically undemanding, were perfect fare for {$Moore}'s {$Sam Cooke}-inspired leads and are most evident on {&"Answer the Phone"} and the slightly watered-down reply to {$Cooke}'s {&"Twistin' the Night Away,"} titled {&"Come on Over to My Place."} Otherwise, there are a few standouts that depart from the formula, including the solid backbeat of {&"Follow Me"} and the Memphis-style horn section that supports {&"Far from the Maddening Crowd."} In 2007 {@Collectors' Choice Music} licensed {^I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing} and finally brought the platter back into print. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide
