this took alot of effort

the band found its classic groove when Ben E King joined and Leiber & Stoller (already legendary for writing a bunch of Elvis classics) started producing for them. came up with a style of mixing earthy r&b rhythms with elegant string sections which famously sounded like two radio stations playing at the same time. insanely beautiful, consistent and influential productions.

Ben E King left to go solo pretty quickly but L&S kept producing for both of them, so this playlist that bounces back and forth in chronological order between Drifters and Ben E songs has a pretty coherent sound all the way from '59-'66 (with the odd Ahmet Ertegun or Jerry Wexler types coming in to help. also yung Spector)

tbh they had more gems than any other r&b act from the 50s-early 60s by a wide margin. maybe even more than the Temptations who had Berry Gordy marshalling the entire force of the Motown hit factory to keep them at the top of the charts. couldn't believe how many gems they had when I finally checked them out;

Just looked at your diary and you giving out 3.5s like they're candy

Something is holding it back from being a top tier noir for me, idk. Kinda wish Marlene Dietrich’s character was in it more
