A FORMER member of the original Drifters is to perform in Richmond next month.
Steve V King, the former Drifters lead vocalist, will perform at Richmond Golf Club on Saturday, October 8, bringing some of the best sounds of soul and Motown hits in a one-off show.
King hails from Miami, Florida, and has produced samples for the likes of Billy Ocean, KC & The Sunshine Band, Lionel Ritchie and Barry White throughout his career.
He spent five years touring with the Drifters, performing hits like Saturday Night at the Movies, Save the Last Dance For Me, More Than A Number In My Little Red Book and Stand By Me.
King also featured on the first new recordings of the Drifters in more than 30 years and performed alongside the Drifters Legends at the O2 Arena in London in 2009 for the culmination of a global tour.
Tickets cost £20 for the evening and include a two-course meal. To book, call Richmond Golf Club on 01748-823231 and choose option one.
