August 17, 1959: Ben E. King's Drifters hold down the top TWO spots on the chart...



August 17, 1959:

With Ben E. King at the helm, The Drifters hit #1 on the R ‘n B chart and #2 (8/17) on the pop chart with the Atlantic single 
"There Goes My Baby"



They also hit  #2 on the R ‘n B chart and #15 (11/30) on the pop chart with 
"Dance With Me"…


Not a bad day for Ben E. King, The Drifters, or Atlantic Records...
