The Drifters • On Broadway

The Drifters

To kick off your Monday, I just thought a little ode to the American Musical Theater would be in order. So what could be better than to listen to the iconic song, "On Broadway", written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. They were two of the great songwriting teams of the 1950s and 1960s, so that is a great place to start. When you add in the fact the song was debuted by The Drifters, how could you go wrong? Enjoy the 1963 release, "On Broadway" by The Drifters.

    1. Yes, the George Benson cover was exceptional. But sometimes I like going back to the original...
