Description
THE DRIFTERS
1967 South African rock band
Rhodesia has produced several top-class recording artists in the ‘60s, such as The Drifters. They have built up a big following in Durban since bursting on the scene at the beginning of August ‘67.
But the band had been learning their craft in the shadows since they got under way in 1963 in Salisbury and it wasn't long before they made their first recording entitled “Lucille” / “Someone.”
The group built up a big reputation and was engaged at many leading venues. The Drifters eventually had their own weekly teenage programme on television. In Rhodesia the Drifters have won the International Rock Band Competition on two occasions as well as the Federal Rock Band Competition once. These achievements give an idea of their progress on stage.
They made an appearance on an LP around 1964 was called ‘Bundu Beat’ and featured 4 bands. They also made a record called “Ode to an Undertaker”/ “Living Above Your Head” with Columbia Records, exclusively for South African teens.
On “Living Above Your Head” it features Mel doing a catchy lead vocal with the four remaining voices adding an effective harmony. Jack penned the flipside which is The Funeral and is something for the psychedelic brigade.
CONDITION: VG++ in original Columbia South Arfirca sleeve.
