SEPTEMBER 8, 2016
'UNDER THE BOARDWALK,'
'UP ON THE ROOF'
AND ONSTAGE IN TIFTON
THE DRIFTERS
COMING TO BENEFIT TIFT LIBRARY FOUNDATION
Mark this on your calendar: The Drifters, original members of
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, are coming to Tifton for an evening of
great music, spirited dancing and fine dining -- and all for a great
cause. On Thursday, Sept. 8, the Tifton-Tift County Public Library
Foundation is bringing one of rock & roll's founding vocal groups to
the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center. It is the Library
Foundation's annual fundraiser.
The Drifters have had numerous hits, such as "Up on the Roof,"
"Under the Boardwalk," "This Magic Moment," "There Goes My Baby,"
"Dance with Me," "Spanish Harlem" and "Stand by Me." They are once
again touring the United States under the auspices of their original
management team.
The Drifters were in the very first class of inductees into the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame and were inducted along with The Beatles, the
Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and the Supremes. Their classic tune
"Under The Boardwalk" is the most played R&B record of all time.
They have played at the White House on three occasions, have given
a benefit concert in Berlin the day the wall fell, have performed for
the Pope, for the Queen of England, for Nelson Mandella and have
toured the world for the USO in three war zones.
And now they will perform for you live in Tifton. Tickets will go on sale
soon at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center. For information,
call 478-227-7126.
