LET THE BOOGIE WOOGIE ROLL essentially collects everything the Drifters ever recorded. The hits are all here--and all worth hearing--including the good-rockin' "Money Honey," "Such a Night," "Lucille," the original "Ruby Baby," and the group's classic R&B version of "White Christmas." minimize Album Information
