Υπάρχει κάτι παραπάνω από νοσταλγία όταν βλέπεις τους Drifters σε ένα παλιό επεισόδιο του BBC Top of the Pops — η εικόνα, ο ελαφρύς συγχρονισμός λόγω μιμήσεων της εποχής και η απλή αλλά αξεπέραστη χορωδιακή αρμονία φέρνουν αμέσως μνήμες μιας άλλης μουσικής επικοινωνίας. Το κομμάτι «You’re More than a Number in My Little Red Book», όπως το βλέπουμε εδώ, μοιάζει να ανήκει στην παράδοση των Drifters: φωνητικές γραμμές που χαϊδεύουν τον στίχο και μια μελωδία που κάνει την καρδιά να θυμάται παλιές βόλτες, ραντεβού και μικρές καθημερινές τελετές του έρωτα.
Οι Drifters, συγκρότημα που γεννήθηκε στη Νέα Υόρκη τη δεκαετία του 1950, είναι από τις πιο ευέλικτες και πολυπρόσωπες φωνές της αμερικανικής ρυθμικής μουσικής. Από τα πρώτα χρόνια με τον Clyde McPhatter μέχρι τις κλασικές στιγμές με τραγούδια όπως τα «Under the Boardwalk», «Save the Last Dance for Me» και «This Magic Moment», το στίγμα τους στο R&B και τη σόουλ είναι ανεξίτηλο. Η ιστορία των Drifters είναι ταυτόχρονα ιστορία επιτυχίας και διαρκών αλλαγών — πολλές σύνθετες νομικές διαμάχες για το όνομα, συχνές αλλαγές στη σύνθεση και μεγάλοι καλλιτέχνες που πέρασαν από το γκρουπ, με κάποιους να γίνονται αργότερα σόλο αστέρες.
Ακούγοντας αυτό το τηλεοπτικό στιγμιότυπο, θυμάσαι επίσης τον τρόπο που λειτουργούσαν οι μουσικές εκπομπές της εποχής: η μίμηση σε 7″ singles, μικρές τεχνικές ασυνέπειες στην εικόνα και τον ήχο, αλλά και η αλήθεια της ζωντανής παρουσίας που διέπεπε τα πάντα. Στην περιγραφή του βίντεο αναφέρεται πως ο σχολιαστής είδε το συγκρότημα ζωντανά στο The Golden Garter στο Wythenshawe του Μάντσεστερ περίπου το 1983 — μια υπενθύμιση πως οι Drifters συνέχισαν να εμφανίζονται και να γοητεύουν κοινά σε όλο τον κόσμο πολύ πέρα από τις πρώτες τους δεκαετίες.
Η μαγεία εδώ είναι απλή: φωνές που συνεργάζονται, ένας στίχος που σε βάζει στη θέση του προσώπου που δεν είναι απλώς «ένας αριθμός», και η αίσθηση ότι κάθε εκτέλεση είναι μια μικρή, πολύτιμη στιγμή ανάμεσα στο κοινό και τους τραγουδιστές. Αυτό το βίντεο, με όλες τις τεχνικές του ατέλειες, κρατά ζωντανή τη ζεστασιά και την ποίηση μιας εποχής που αγαπήθηκε — και συνεχίζει να αγαπιέται — από γενιές ακροατών.

Oh, oh, yeah, yes
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number in my little red book
당신은 하룻밤 데이트 그 이상이에요
You're more than a one-night date
내가 가져갈 수 있었던 건 단 한번의 시선뿐이었어
All I had to take me was just one look
내 심장이 쿵쿵 뛰기 시작했어, 자기야, 너 때문에 뛰게 됐어
My heart began a thumping, babe, you had it jumping
왜냐하면 당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이기 때문이죠
'Cause you're more than a number in my little red book
넌 원나잇 스탠드 그 이상이야
You're more than a one-night stand
당신이 빼앗겼다고 생각하게 된다면
In case you get to thinking that you've been took
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 적힌 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number written in my little red book
오 자기야, 우리에게 기회를 줘
Oh baby, give us a chance
작은 마을의 소문 때문에 우리의 첫 번째 진짜 로맨스가 끝나지 않게 하세요
Don't let the small town rumors end our first real romance
이제 나는 몇 사람을 사랑했다는 것을 인정할 것이다.
Now I'll admit I've loved a few
하지만 너 같은 사람은 없었어
But there was never one like you
그러니 자기야 (정말 자기야), 그들이 말하는 것을 믿지 마세요
So darling (so darling), don't believe the things they say
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number in my little red book
당신은 하룻밤 데이트 그 이상이에요
You're more than a one-night date
내가 가져갈 수 있었던 건 단 한번의 시선뿐이었어
All I had to take me was just one look
내 심장이 쿵쿵 뛰기 시작했어, 자기야, 너 때문에 뛰게 됐어
My heart began a thumping, babe, you had it jumping
왜냐하면 당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이기 때문이죠
'Cause you're more than a number in my little red book
넌 원나잇 스탠드 그 이상이야
You're more than a one-night stand
당신이 빼앗겼다고 생각하게 된다면
In case you get to thinking that you've been took
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 적힌 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number written in my little red book
오 베이비, 당신이 나에게 사인을 줬어요
Oh baby, you gave me a sign
내 오래된 불꽃의 숫자를 버렸어
I threw away the numbers of those old flames of mine
그리고 지금 그들은 당신을 현명하게 만들려고 노력하고 있습니다
And now they're trying to put you wise
내 여자의 눈 속에서 나를 쓰러뜨려줘
Knock me down in my girls eyes
오 자기야 (오 자기야) 그들이 말하는 말은 하나도 믿지마
Oh darling (oh darling), don't believe a word they say
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number in my little red book
당신은 하룻밤 데이트 그 이상이에요
You're more than a one-night date
내가 가져갈 수 있었던 건 단 한번의 시선뿐이었어
All I had to take me was just one look
내 심장이 쿵쿵 뛰기 시작했어, 자기야, 너 때문에 뛰게 됐어
My heart began a thumping, babe, you had it jumping
왜냐하면 당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이기 때문이죠
'Cause you're more than a number in my little red book
넌 원나잇 스탠드 그 이상이야
You're more than a one night stand
당신이 빼앗겼다고 생각하게 된다면
In case you get to thinking that you've been took
당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 적힌 숫자 그 이상이에요
You're more than a number written in my little red book
워, 당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이에요
Whoa, you're more than a number in my little red book
당신은 하룻밤 데이트 그 이상이에요
You're more than a one-night date
내가 가져갈 수 있었던 건 단 한번의 시선뿐이었어
All I had to take me was just one look
내 심장이 쿵쿵 뛰기 시작했어, 자기야, 너 때문에 뛰게 됐어
My heart began a thumping, babe, you had it jumping
왜냐하면 당신은 내 작은 빨간 책에 나오는 숫자 그 이상이기 때문이죠
'Cause you're more than a number in my little red book

Noel bloody Edmunds!! He was ubiquitous on UK TV. Was there possibly an army of Noel Edmond’s androids? It would explain a lot!

love drifters born 1970
They'd get cancelled for this nowadays
None of the above I remember when I was 11 and 12 I got savaroi straws crisps of breadman, they should bring savaroi straws cheesy and worstard sauce back
@ THIS SONG WAS A FAVORITE OF MINE DANCING TO IT WAS SOMETHING I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely amazing. So many fond memories and such good days.
My favourite Drifters song/era. Still with the Drifters veteran Johnny Moore (on the left – RIP) and co-lead vocalist Clyde Brown?
Just beautiful memories ❤️
Love johnnys contribution to this song. What a voice. A shame they were all so underpaid.
This was recorded during the Drifters' UK-based era of the 1970s, after the group relocated to England and found a second wind on the British charts with producer/songwriter Roger Greenaway. Johnny Moore is the lead singer and the rest of the lineup was Clyde Brown, Joe Blunt, and Billy Lewis. This also became a hit in Carolina Beach Music.
Wedding suits ❤️🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant ❤
Perfect shag dance song!
