A real triumph over tragedy. The Drifters had several lead singers through the years, and Rudy Lewis was to sing lead on this song, but he died the night before the session. Their management and label tried to spin the death as a brain aneurysm, but it was really from a heroin overdose. The label wouldn't postpone the recording session, so the group contacted former lead singer Johnny Moore, and with almost no notice, a classic summer record came out of it all.
