Bennie sings lead and second tenor harmonies and has been an integral part of the group's overall sound for more than four decades. He had the pleasure of singing with original members that started in 1953 such as Gay Thasher and Bill Pickney. Born in West Point, Georgia, Bennie moved to Atlanta at an early age where he currently resides. He enjoys song writing, a challenging game of basketball, and singing gospel songs while playing the piano. Singing both baritone and second tenor, George Wallace's career with The Drifters began in 1962. He sings lead on the hits "Ruby Baby," "Up on the Roof" and others. He has always been known as the old man of the group, but steadfastly refuses to tell his age. Wallace, affectionately called "Bone-Crusher" because of his thin build, hails from Atlanta, Georgia. A Drifter since 1969, he sings first tenor, second tenor and lead vocals on such songs as "There Goes My Baby." Known to his friends as "Mose" he comes from the mountain country of Tennessee; however, Atlanta is now his home. When you can't find him "Under the Boardwalk," you can find him at the local Bowling Center, as bowling is his favorite past time. Formerly The Drifters' stage manager, Ernell is the newest member of the group--he joined in 1991. Singing bass, he takes the lead on the Drifters classic recording, "White Christmas." He is affectionately called Elliot Ness because of the unique hats he wears. David joined the group in 1982 from Charleston, South Carolina where he was lead vocalist of the "Charleston Connection" show band. Other groups he worked with include The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, The Tams, and the famous Coasters. His pure and dynamic voice sings lead on classic Drifter hits--"Under the Boardwalk," "Sand in My Shoes," and "Saturday Night at the Movies."
