We can’t rewrite music history, but we would like to shine a light on a great, influential and underrated artist: Clyde McPhatter.
Whoever is interested in the history of American pop music will know the Drifters and the Dominoes – two formations, characterized and famous for the fantastic voice of the lead singer: Clyde McPhatter.
