	CLYDE McPHATTER
		Clyde McPhatter was one of the most influential RandB singers of the '50s and early '60s.
		McPhatter was idolized by Black audiences as few singers before or since ever were, and for almost 15 years helped define rhythm and blues and its transformation into soul.
		McPhatter was a big enough star that he was essentially the focus of two LP releases on Atlantic in the same year, unheard of for a Black artist in those days, when RandB albums (apart from Elvis' first RCA long-players, which were considered RandB) didn't sell in serious numbers.

	Clyde McPhatter
		Clyde Lensey McPhatter was born in Durham, North Carolina on 15 November 1932 and at an excruciatingly tender age he uttered his first notes as a boy soprano at the Mount Calvary Baptist Church in his hometown.
		McPhatter formed ‘Drifters Incorporated’ with new partner and manager George Treadwell to prevent Domino history repeating itself and put together his new group the Drifters, who after some reshuffle, turned out to be Bill Pinkney and two brothers Gerhart and Andrew Thrasher.
		MGM signed McPhatter in May ’59 but the move was a disaster for Clyde and he was never quite happy with the results there, they lacked 'feel' and could not create enough interest to put Clyde where he wanted to be - on the charts.

	Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks - CLYDE McPHATTER
		Clyde McPhatter's was one of the most distinctive and influential voices ever to be heard in R&B. Bill Kenny was first on the scene, leading the Ink Spots to acceptance by white audiences.
		Clyde Lensey McPhatter was born in Durham, North Carolina on November 15 1932 (or 1931 or 1933).
		One of my favorite Clyde McPhatter songs from this period is 1957's “No Love Like Her Love.” In 1957 I couldn't figure out which of the two girls he was singing to (“pronoun problems,” as Daffy Duck would say), and years later, I still can't.

		Volume Three focuses on the years after McPhatter left and Jackie Wilson took over lead vocals and led them in a more consciously pop direction.
		But "Volume Two - 18 Hits" is before that sad fate, when Clyde McPhatter, the greatest lead vocalist in rock history was at his very best, mining all avenues of song in his inimitable fashion.
		One listen to "Don't Leave Me This Way" (sort of a reworking melodically of their hit "I'd Be Satisfied"), "Yours Forever", or "Deep Sea Blues" and any questions as to the practicality of buying a second Dominoes collection will have been answered.

	Love Ballads - Clyde McPhatter, Music Downloads - Online
		Review: One suspects that Atlantic Records had trouble actually assembling this album, based on the differences between the content and the title.
		As with most of Atlantic's early LPs, Love Ballads was comprised of existing singles and B-sides, in this case going back to Clyde McPhatter's days with the Drifters.
		The slower songs are the direction that McPhatter preferred, aiming at a more sophisticated R&B audience and hoping for a crossover into pop circles -- considering that most of the material dates from 1956-1957, it's all surprisingly sophisticated and groundbreaking in its time.

		Clyde McPhatter : Clyde McPhatter - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		McPhatter's final original album for Atlantic is a must-hear release, some of the sweetest and brightest R&B of its period, a little more balanced and unified in its sound than its predecessor with more emphasis on beat.
		Somewhere midway between them are "Gone" and "Everyone's Laughing," stripped-down R&B ballads with a beat, and "I Can't Stand Up Alone" is a glorious flashback to McPhatter's roots as a gospel singer.

	CLYDE MCPHATTER
		Precious few 1950s RandB vocalists wielded the influence of Clyde McPhatter: his melismatically-charged delivery altered the entire future of the idiom, both as lead singer of the Drifters and later on his own.
		But until now, his 1965-1967 output for Amy Records has been totally overlooked.
		Sundazed rectifies that injustice by gathering all ten of Clyde's Amy-issued tracks — including four recorded in Muscle Shoals — plus four previously unissued alternate takes for a revealing package proving Clyde still had plenty in his tank during the mid-'60s!
