The Drifters, The Cornell Gunter Coasters, and The Platters

The Levoy Theatre 126-130 N. High Street, Millville, NJ 08332
The Drifters created the pre-Motown, heavily choreographed slickness, of Urban Pop-Soul. The Coasters (soon to become the Cornell Gunter Coasters – named after their founding member) were the premier, and perhaps the only, group combining gritty R&B with night club comedy antics. The Platters – well so much music, even then, was about love and romance (especially that of the young & unrequited variety) and that is what the Platters were all about.

Membership in the three groups has evolved over the years as time has passed but the Drifters, the Cornell Gunter Coasters and the Platters still stick with their original strategy of combining long term veterans with fresh new faces from time to time. So, even at this late date, after nearly fifty years as one of the top selling road shows in the country, half of the members from the three groups date back to having performed with original members on the original recordings.

In a two-page, centerpiece spread, in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s weekend entertainment magazine, the Entertainment Editor noted, “this strategy of rotating veterans with rookies to form an on ongoing and cohesive line-up, has allowed the groups to make creative personnel changes over the years while still conforming to their original aura”.
