DRIFTERS OFFICIAL SITE ! link here
We posted the Drifter's "Up On The Roof" which reminds me so much of my early New York City days, some time ago, but realized we hadn't linked to their official site and when we did - the announcement of a 60th anniversary World Tour!
The Drifters® celebrate their 60th Anniversary with the Diamond Dynasty World Tour 2013.
"Preparations for the 60th Anniversary World Tour are well underway, The Drifters® are proud to present their Diamond Dynasty World Tour to celebrate this auspicious occasion. Our web site is currently undergoing massive redevelopment and we are excited to announce that it will be launched on January 1st 2013 as part of the Drifters® 60th Anniversary year."

(430) SONGWRITERS LEIBER AND STOLLER : OFFICIAL SITE
As they relate in their interesting book called HOUND DOG, songwriters Jerry Leiber (who passed away August 2011) and Mike Stoller had their beginnings in the rock and roll song writing business in New York, and over the years their songwriting included dozens of memorable hits that made it into the top 100, songs performed by Elvis Presley, The Coasters, The Drifters, Hank Snow, and so many others.
They were, like most American song-writers in the mid 1960's finding themselves in competition with British Invasion songwriters who also had bands. Over time they grew less interested in rock and roll and moved into writing other music.
Linking to their official site, which mentions that Mike's Music will be used at the Democratic National Convention.
