The song "There Goes My Baby" was the first single by the second incarnation
of the Drifters (previously known as the 5 Crowns), who assumed the group
name in 1958 after manager George Treadwell fired the remaining members
of the original lineup. The single reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100
and number one on the Billboard R&B chart and on the Cash Box sales chart
for two weeks, in the summer of 1959. It was Ben E. King’s debut recording as
lead singer of the group and also introduced the idea of using violins.

MOVIE STUNT CAR HAD BEEN FOUND?

(FoxNews) – One of the most legendary cars in Hollywood history may have
been found after nearly 50 years.

The 1968 classic “Bullitt” had two stars in it: Steve McQueen and his Highland
Green 1968 Mustang GT. A more iconic on-screen duo there never was…for
car lovers, at least.

However, there were actually two Mustangs used during filming: one kept neat
and tidy and another that did most of the dirty work during the movie’s chase
scene. The pampered star car was preserved and sold three times over the
years and is very privately owned today, while the stunt car was beaten up
so badly by the end of production that it was sent to the wrecking yard.

At least that’s what most people thought happened to it, but a member of
the Vintage Mustang Forum claims the car recently surfaced in Mexico. Its
exact location undisclosed.
