As we all know, The Drifters are a beloved institution of R&B and soul music. A hundred guys walked in and out of that band, but they put out hits like the Corleone’s. Then come 1966, and these moppy-haired, free-lovin hippies called The Rokes come strolling in with “Let’s Live for Today.” (As made famous by The Grass Roots)
The Drifters - "I Count the Tears" (1960)
The Rokes - "Let's Live for Today" (1966)
The Grass Roots - "Let's Live for Today" (1967)

whoa
is it just me or does some of fleetwood macs “gypsy” sound like part of that drifter song
i’m glad someone else finally pointed this out. i noticed it a few years ago and was taken aback – surprised no one sued. don’t wanna sound like i’m complaining tho, both songs are great – but ‘I count the tears’ definitely wins out imo
