The Drifters
As of December 2006, writs have been served in the London High Court by Tina Treadwell, daughter of George and Faye, against Lundquist and Lunderman, alleging they are not the rightful controllers of The Drifters. Tina's group features Roy Hemmings and Jason Leigh. Primarily Hemmings remained with Lundquist and Lunderman, and left after three years following the formation of Drifters UK Limited. It will be interesting to see how things transpire should Treadwell win her case, from the time when the current Drifters lineup touring the UK has built up a fan base selling out one tour after another with Johnny Moore and continuing after his death. The Vocal Group Hall of Fame has inducted both 'The Original Drifters' (1998) and 'Ben E. King and The Drifters'(2000).
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Drifters #81 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Unfortunately, Bill Pinkney passed away due to a heart attack on July 4, 2007, in his room at the Hilton Hotel, Daytona Beach, Florida. He was here to perform for the 4th of July Red, White and Boom Event.
