Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats because we're diving headfirst into a musical time machine with the legendary Ben E King and The Drifters. These five classic albums are a rollercoaster ride of doo-wop, soul, and R&B that will have you shaking your hips and snapping your fingers in no time.

First up, we have the timeless charm of "Save the Last Dance for Me." This album is like a warm hug from your grandma, cozy and familiar yet still managing to surprise you with its silky smooth vocals and irresistible melodies. Ben E King's voice is like butter, melting over each track with ease and grace.

Next on the docket is "Under the Boardwalk," a cheeky little number that will have you dreaming of summer days spent lounging by the beach. The Drifters' harmonies are as tight as ever, transporting you straight to the 1960s with their infectious energy and dreamy sound.

Moving on to "Stand By Me," the titular track that solidifies Ben E King as a true icon of the era. This album is pure magic, with each song showcasing his unmistakable talent and passion for storytelling through song. You can't help but feel a little bit lighter when listening to this classic.

"Up on the Roof" brings us back to the city streets with its urban charm and soulful vibe. The Drifters' harmonies are simply divine, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist. This album is like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day, comforting and soothing to the soul.

Last but certainly not least, we have "Dance with Me," a toe-tapping, head-bobbing collection of hits that will have you grooving all night long. The energy on this album is infectious, with each track begging for a spot on your next party playlist. Ben E King and The Drifters have truly outdone themselves with this one, proving once
