Jamaica Gleaner – Jun 26, 2007
The first group of youngsters really set the pace for the others who followed. Dressed in the national colours they ‘willie’ bounced to Voicemail’s Dancing Fever. A standout performance came from the girls and boys break-dance class. When the young boys came out ‘full of attitude’ on stage and posed for the audience their was an eruption of cheers from the crowd. The boys break danced then scurried off stage leaving the girls to pick up the routine. ne little girl split and ‘dutty’ wined to the delight of many. Another outstanding performance was delivered by the group that performed to the hip-hop song Walk It ut – the group showed good coordination as they paired off and faced off with their own hip-hop moves.

The Drifters: Greatest Hits Live < Music | PopMatters
PopMatters – Jun 26, 2007
Those songs and other classics are on here but as for the musical group performing them that’s a more complicated story. It turns out that even during the golden age of the Drifters (over 40 years ago) there was never a consistent line-up of singers. Performers rotated in and out on a regular basis and one of the group’s biggest hits “Under the Boardwalk” had Johnny Moore on lead vocals on his first day back with the group after the previous lead singer had died of a drug overdose just the night before. And so the Drifters continued on in this fashion and they still tour today with a playlist full of songs that were written decades ago… Really? What about the heartache of “There Goes My Baby” and “I Count These Tears” or the paranoid jealously underlying “Save the Last Dance for Me” where the narrator tells his girl that she can dance with other guys as long as she promises not to go home with any of them?Ironically Bynoe is correct in that none of the Drifters’ songs are particularly depressing even if he doesn’t articulate why this is the case. Underlying all of their songs is the understanding that having a broken heart isn’t a permanent condition and that the only cure (if you’re a straight guy) is to find a new girl. The Drifters could provide the soundtrack to the entire history of a relationship: the awkward early flirtations (“Dance with Me”); the first kiss (“This Magic Moment”); the punch-drunk elation of the first few months of dating (“Saturday Night at the Movies”); the fear of losing her to someone else (“Save the Last Dance for Me”); the pathetic futile attempts to hold onto her once it’s clear the romance is doomed (“Please Stay”); the wistful longing right after the break-up (“There Goes My Baby”); the pain of seeing her with another man and the selfish hope that she’ll break his heart too (“I Count These Tears”); the aimless wandering in between relationships (“n Broadway”) and; finally of course moving on to the next pretty young thing. Their music is uplifting and soulful because it knows that most romances are seasons in our lives that come and pass and we have to enjoy them while we can. But nobody in the documentary comes close to explaining why these songs have stood the test of time. Instead we get over 45-minutes of the group members patting themselves on the back for managing to keep the good name of the Drifters alive. Intriguing questions when asked are never answered.
