| Description |
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , this is the group credited with the first rock and roll record (Money Honey) While the hits have been constant, the members of the Drifters have always drifted in and out. But Billy Washington has been with the group since he was a young man and he maintains the original sound we remember . Billy is joined by Wayne Foster (25 years in the Drifters) and Patrick Jackson (25 years in The Coasters ) and backed by an all star band. |
