Bobby Hendricks, once was a member of the the Drifters when he replaced Johnny Moore in 1957, before that he shortly was the lead for a group Bill Pickney started called The Flyers, and before all of that he had a short stay with The Swallows without any real success. You can hear Bobby singing and sounding like Clyde McPhatter on the Drifters song "Suddenly There's A Valley"
The flip-side of todays 45 is a very good ballad also with the tittle "She Used To Hold Me". Hendricks is best known for his releases on the Sue label:
I love music, mostly Ballads be it US, Caribbean and all parts of the World. My second love is South American and Caribbean dance music. I'm not a technical listener but an emotional one. The voices, backing vocals, band, lyrics must touch me for me to like it. So don't expect me to dwell into technical details of songs, if it's on this blog, it's there because it touched me in one way or an other.
