1959 I was only sweet 13 years of age,First time I heard the Drifter's,gave me goosebumps,fell in love with them♥️I am now 76 and am still turned on to them.🥰

This is real music, when it said something to the heart ❤️ and made you want to fall in love. And real singers. Yeeeeeees indeed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

This song is so timelessly beautiful... Made in an era when music meant something.

Hasn't he just got one of the best voices ever!Wonderful memories of that era with great music 👏

Best songs, best artists, best music, best era! I miss it all. The world no longer speaks or sings of love today. How sad that is.

How can anyone NOT feel like dancing when they hear this!!

Quite possibly the greatest song of all time.

if we could only return to this era, everything was cool and singers could REALLY sing

What happened to this music? We desperately need it today. Simple romantic respectful influential music heading people in the right relationship direction

Those tunes simply brought people together and then thereby brought such memories of when,TRUE MUSIC was made-

A top voice of the 50's & 60's. One hit after another

It doesn’t get much better than Ben E. King and The Drifters. The music of my youth. There is nothing like it. The young people just do not realise what great music this was and still is! So many parties and dances played these wonderful tracks. Such great groups , and harmonies have never been duplicated. ❤

i wanna go back to those days so bad.

Ben E. King, what can I say. One of the lead singers of the Drifters. What a voice. One of my favorite songs back in 1959. R.I.P. Benny...

The Drifters!! Music brings joy, and memories. It's one of the things that we all can relate to. I remember dancing to this song. Fantastic...what A time it was!

What else you can say but. WHAT A VOICE!!!!

What a stunning voice! I sung it when it came out years ago. It's still Beautiful as ever! Thank you. I love this!!!

Today is not real life it’s such pain and sorrow but the 50’s and 60’s that was life plain, simple and honest…not perfect but really close.

Wish I could go back to this kind of music I miss those times so very much

I was lucky to attend a concert and dance of the "Drifters" in Albuquerque in 1960! Wow those were fun times! I'm glad to see that younger people are enjoying this music!

Love this music can understand what is being said. Old school will last forever.

if this type of music was still here we would have love in our lives.

Conjure-up the image of that "special someone" from long ago, from another time. Let your memory take you back... and there you are. Entwine your arms around your one-and-only, as you glide through the crowd... you're there again, and the Drifters are singing -- everything that was perfect is just so again!

The music of the 50s and early 60s was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard 50s music until the 1970s. And I was hooked. Most music has been crap since 1967. Except for CCR.

When i hear this song..the feeling i get is so amazing that i cant hardly understand and cant describes in words..close my eyes and feel the rhythm..and take me to that place where im in Peace and in Love...

0 dislikes. That's what I like to see.

Who could refuse an invitation to twirl around the dance floor while the Drifters weave their magic words to glide us effortlessly in a dance of sheer, delightful pleasure!

what can you say the drifters made such great music and fantastic lead singers and this is one them

I can’t believe that I don’t have this song on my playlist. It’s off to the iTunes Store to rectify this oversight. I love everything that Ben E. King sings.

I had the good fortune to see The Drifters when I was 14. What a show!

I just love this singer, this music will never grow old just bring out the best in me, I love it ,I love it. O my God couldn’t be any better

Timeless musical talent! What I wouldn't give to live during this era!

I knew aboutthe Drifters in my early 20s and really liked them but when I heard this song it brought a whole new meaning to my life. I cannot express what this song does to me. Possibly greatest drifters song ever. Thanks for posting I just love it!

80 years strong black music

The rest of the world, well the UK anyway held the Drifters in high esteem, they appeared in Liverpool clubs during the 70's and 80's on a regular basis, I should imagine other cities were hosts to them too.

the best music ever was sung in the 50's

Love it. So romantic. I want to dance to this with someone I really,really like.

What a voice, even now 56 later this song is still amazing and holding the test of time.

CAN'T GET NO BETTER!

The music is so beautiful the group Drifters are so good everything they sing is good they make you feel the music and the song

Wow! My Dad used to dance to this all by himself'; then he taught me to dance. Memories.

MarcieLuzMusic. You said it! A fabulous song , one of The Drifter’s finest efforts without a doubt.

Im going 29, and love to listen to 50-70'ies music, since I grew up with that playing on my parents LP-player!

Wonderful memories !

One of those olden oldies.

Oh my , are they golden or what? Darling won't you please!!

Fantastic....

my favorite Drifters song. great harmonies.

Incredible sound.Love it.Johnny Lee Williams on first tenor.He also sang lead on True Love,True Love.These 5 guys were the Crowns.

Musica muito bonita.The driftets com Ben E. King é simplismente fenomenal. BEN um cantor grandioso que está entre os grandes da música.

Its like losing a friend that I grew up with.RIP

RIP to the great Ben E King.

Timeless classic

Ben E. King. 'Nuff said. RIP, Singer. Thanks for the post. Blessings

They were the first doo wop group to record with a symphony orchestra , I remember Ben E. King saying that in an interview , no other doo wop group sounded like them and their sound really stood out

The Drifters were blessed with fabulous lead singers. My guys were Mr King and the tragic Rudy Lewis. Super group.

Wow I remember dancing to this song in the early 60's!!

Heute ist Ben E. King verstorben. Ruhe in Frieden. wieder ein toller Musiker, der jetzt im Himmel mit den Chören singt. R.I.P

Simply beautiful... ♫♪♥♫♪

from bout 5 her old my dad my this and it is a hits song omg ❤🙏

I danced to this in the day so wonderful to feel a boys arms around you actually dancing

Damn the violins and BenE. King on lead what a song we will be lovers when the music ends

Yes it is hard to find, when you search it usually gives you the Save the last Dance tune. There goes my baby was a good movie, I really like the movies that are set back in the 50's with the cars and music. Disney had a film called Susie Q and if you get a chance it has a ton of great Doo wop songs....bad news it was never released to VHS or DVD yet, but you tube has the movie in all its parts :)

Here's my DJ hubster hipster's story 'bout this song: He was sweeping the garage floor as part of his household chores, and there was a radio tuned to AM1160 WJJD in Chicago. Mom found him, sweeping forgotten, swayin' with the broomstick, the first time he heard "Stand By Me"

I cannot decide if I like this or Amor better, but Ben E. King sure could sing. Amazing. there's no doubt about that!

Love this song always

Sept.28th: Happy birthday Soul singer Benjamin Earl King / Ben E. King (1938-2015) Grammy Hall of Fame, Rhythm & Blues Foundation Pioneer Award, star: Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thank you and God bless. RIP Legend. Thanks for the upload, Carlos Ivan. Blessings

Finally, Ben E. King made the cover!! Love me some Ben E. King! A voice that makes the song! From NC too! One of the best ever!! So was Clyde McPhatter. Great singers from the past!

Carlos Ivan...you know your music. Bravo

I was just dancing in the shower alone listening to this Beautiful record on ALEXA (2024 )and Beyond!

Regardless of who left or joined the group as years went on, they ALWAYS retained that fantastically harmonious blend. Unequaled.

On this day in 1959 {December 3rd} the Drifters performed "Dance With Me" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time "Dance With Me" was at #15 on Billboard's Top 100, that would also be it's peak position on the chart, and it also spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100... It peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} on November 9th, 1959 on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides chart, the two records that kept it out of the top spot were "So Many Ways" by Brook Benton and "Don't You Know" by Della Reese... And on the same 'Bandstand' show they also performed "Dance With Me's" B-side, "(If You Cry)True Love, True Love", it reached #5 on the Hot R&B Sides chart and #33 on the Top 100 chart... Between 1954 and 1966 the NYC-based group had thirty-six Top 100 records; five made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Save the Last Dance for Me", for three weeks in 1960... Besides "Save the Last Dance for Me", their four other Top 10 records were "There Goes My Baby" {#2* for 1 week in 1959}, "Up On The Roof" {#5 in 1963}, "On Broadway" {#9 in 1963}, and "Under The Boardwalk" {#4 in 1964}... * The week "There Goes My Baby" peaked at #2, the #1 record for that week was "A Big Hunk O Love" by Elvis...

Me and my sister used to dance to this song when we were really young..Memories

My God, if only we could go back.
