Review by Karen Van Benschoten

Let The Music Play on Broadway by Drifters is a delightful album that showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. The album features a collection of classic Broadway tunes, including "On Broadway," "This Magic Moment," and "Save The Last Dance For Me," all of which have been reimagined with the Drifters' signature sound.

The album opens with an upbeat rendition of "On Broadway," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The Drifters' smooth harmonies and soulful vocals are on full display throughout the album, adding a new dimension to these classic songs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "This Magic Moment," which features a beautiful arrangement and a heartfelt vocal performance from the lead singer. The song is a perfect showcase for the Drifters' ability to infuse their unique style into a classic tune while still staying true to the original.

Another highlight of the album is "Save The Last Dance For Me," which features a lively and infectious rhythm that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along. The Drifters' dynamic vocals and expert instrumentation make this track a standout on the album.

Comments

Let us Flip over "ON BROADWAY" and "LET THE MUSIC PLAY"
Talk about Great "B" Sides This is one of the all time Best! LET THE MUSIC PLAY Love The Horns in this Carolina Beach Classic!!!
The flip side wa On Broadway and this was the more powerful and beautiful song
There are other covered versions of this song but no one sings it quite like Rudy Lewis of the Drifters! Probably the hardest song chord structure wise ever written by Bacharach & David!
By the way, anybody think Burt and Hal learned anything here..like the use of the trumpet and kettle drum, later signature items in their songs?
I never knew the Drifters sang the original version of "On Broadway". I love this version and George Benson's redemption.
When this record came on Saturdays from my dad's turn-table... You knew it was time to get ya ass up and start cleaning. This song will forever be engraved in my mind.
CLASSIC!
My mind immediately goes to Genesis and American Beauty
Love it! The backup vocals with the heavy reverb give it an otherworldly Gregorian Chant vibe.
This tune will never loose its luster.
Full props to Gary Sherman's arrangement and conducting....
Rudy Lewis on lead.
Drifters give any vocal group a run for their money.
Rudy Lewis, what a voice! I'll have my name in li-i-ights!
Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil's Brill Building masterpiece in its first iconic iteration.
(George Benson's reinvention of it, ultimately just as iconic, was a little over 15 years in the future.)
Inside baseball:
The guitar solo is played by a very young Phil Spector, who was about to become a celebrated (and then, years later, notorious) record producer. This is somewhat remarkable, as the session already included three fine Jazz/session guitarists, Billy Butler, Bill Suyker, and Everett Barksdale...
...but, apparently, producers Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller liked what the young Spector had to offer.
(And maybe the sound Lieber and Stoller achieved with this Garry Sherman arrangement seems to anticipate Spector's trademark "Wall of Sound" productions, a few years later...)
As mentioned many times, Phil Spector on the lead guitar. What hasn't been mentioned was that Spector got involved with drugs and alcohol and murder. Spector was indeed a musical genius and a lesson to everyone to avoid drugs and alcohol. And putting a gun in someone's mouth and pulling the trigger. This was indeed tragic for the victim and all the families affected. Horrible. RIP Lana Clarkson and Phil Spector.
The song grasps you with the opening note! I've always loved it!
This is a photo of 'The Coasters', not 'The Drifters'!!
Sounds great in August 2022.
According to the Lieber/Stoller Wikipedia entry, that is a young Phil Spector playing lead guitar on this version.
02:10
Guitar solo by addict, murderer, and occasional producer Harvey Philip Spectre.
Always sends a shiver down my spine
Phil Spector on guitar.
That was the best music ever made that is the foundation the building blocks of rock and roll if you will!!!#
This song.makes it real
Way ahead of it's time!
I always loved this song! The words, the melody. Brings back memories! All good memories...
