A graphic designer from the greater NYC area sends this highly entertaining illustration of the reach of American culture worldwide.
In 1958, the Drifters' manager canned the whole group and just renamed another bunch in his stable, The Five Crowns, that included Ben King in the package. Over the decades Drifters have come and gone (intrepid Beagletorials noted recently some configuration of Drifters was playing at Livingston, Montana) but no one has had the impact and reach of ex-Drifter Ben E. King who had a hit with Stand By Me (inked by King, with an assist by Lieber and Stoller) in both 1961 and 1987.
