Rock & Roll Is Here to Stay
- Charlie Thomas’ Drifters: This singer of The Drifters joined in 1958, then formed his own version of the group in subsequent years, performing doo-wop staples such as “Under the Boardwalk” and “There Goes My Baby”
- The Platters: With Lovers’ Lane soundtracks such as “The Great Pretender” and “Twilight Time,” The Platters became one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era, and were eventually inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
- Shirley Alston Reeves: As the lead singer of the Shirelles, Shirley and her quartet harmonized their way onto the charts repeatedly from the late ’50s to the early ’80s, sweetly singing now-classic hits such as “Baby It’s You,” “Mama Said,” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.”
- The Chiffons: These four chanteuses dominated the airwaves in the ’60s with hits such as “He’s So Fine” and “One Fine Day.”
- The Coasters: They’re the seminal vocal group that blended R&B and doo-wop on hits such as “Young Blood” and “Yakety Yak”
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts hosts a lot of firsts. From Jose Feliciano to Russian music institutions, many performing artists have never played in the Bronx before they come to the Center. That reality is part of what prompted its founding in the first place three decades ago, in an effort to prove that borough residents didn't have to travel to Manhattan or tunnel inside their television sets to experience diverse, live cultural programming. So far, that's included concerts by luminaries such as Smokey Robinson, Patti LaBelle, and Johnny Mathis in addition to folk dance, ballet, and Latino comedy showcases.
