A great 70s modern soul dancer from Rick Sheppard.
Sheppard was a member of The Drifters between 1966-70. Prior to joining
the group he'd already released two singles. As far as I can tell he
released three singles after leaving them. He became a NYC police officer
for 23 years.
In 1996 two compilations were released as The Drifters
Featuring Rick Sheppard, so I guess he must have rejoined one the
groups using The Drifters name.
He is one of the only remaining 'true' Drifters and has had legal
disputes over the years with other groups over using the name. I found an
advert for a gig at The Coach House, Orange County, CA from 2011 so he was still performimg with them then.
