JamaicaRob...do you mean the owner of Drifters Bar, Luddy Samms "was amazing" as a singer and also part of the musical group the Drifters?
Or, did Ben E. King show up at Luddy's bar and entertain that day as another fabulous talent?

yup, Drifters in January, 2 x, was the highlight of my trip. Best time I've had at one location in Negril.

Ben E King, was a member of the 2nd "Drifters" line up in the US, he also co-wrote "Stand by me". He wasn't with the group when they recorded "Under the boardwalk". Luddy Samms was never in a US "Drifters" group. He may have been a member of one of the many splinter groups that toured the UK and Europe.

Drifters was one my favorites as well on our trip in Feb this year! We went with a group of friends and I had the best rum punches (and I had tried most around Negril) and what a deal~ 2-4-1 @400J even better~ chill vibe, lot's of laughs and dancing!
