Drifters, The - Suddenly There's A Valley Lyrics
Oh, when you've climbed the highest mountain
When a cloud holds the sunshine in
Oh, suddenly there's, there's a valley
Where the earth knows peace with man
And you think you can't find a friend
Oh, but suddenly there's, there's a valley
Where friendships never end
Touched only by the seasons
Swept clean by the waving grain
Surveyed by, by a happy blue, bluebird
And kissed by the falling rain
Oh, when you think there's no bright tomorrow
Oh, suddenly there's, there's a valley
Where hope and love begin...

A super flip side
Fantastic
Love this song first time hearing th is they are my favorite group.
A great record! Bobby Hendricks add spice to his sparkling high tenor on this memorable tune!
I still have all their 45's from the 50's
great song thanks
THE BASS VOICE.
IS NO OTHER THEN THE LATE TOMMY EVENS. HE TOLD ME
HIMSELF HE A NATURAL BASS.
TITO RIVERA "CHORDS"
"B" side of "I Count the Tears".
Bill didn't really have a natural bass voice and this doesn't sound like Bill. Tommy's under rated, didn't have too many to shine on.
If you want to hear Tommy Evans look for The Carols records on Youtube like fifty million women.
Love this song and group
The Late Great Clyde McPhatter singing the high tenor.........R.I.P.
Thats McPhatter sound-a-like David Baugham.
No that's the checkers Lil David Vaughn
That's not Clyde McPhatter or Bill Pickney; it's Bobby Hendricks (tenor) and Tommy Evans (bass).
That's not clyde..its Bobby Hendrix n Tommy Evans on bass
one of my favs by this wonderful group.
BBEK- (Before Ben E. King)
Bobby Hendricks was great - try 'Itchy Twitchy Feeling' to hear what I mean.
Indeed. I love that tune.
This sounds very much like Bill Pinkney & The Driters pre 1955
My Drifters bio says Bobby Hendricks and Bill Pinkney share the lead on this tune recorded at the same time as "Drip Drop" in 1958. Issued as the "B" side to "I Count The Tears" in 1960. Tommy Evans first session ended in November of '56 with "Fools Fall In Love" and he didn't rejoin again until July of '61.
this was Clyde & Thrasher & Bill on Bass
Not on Suddenly. It is definitely Bobby Hendricks
I agree dcjazzman1!
Great concept and arrangement, despite the that it was near the end of the pre-59 Drifters career. A testament to their talent, for sure. Too bad it wasn't released until 1960. If by chance, radio would have picked up on it, maybe the whole Drifters story would not have taken the turn that it did.

A foray into the roots of R&B groups
@carlanthony62 If you scroll down of Marv Goldberg's page, he shows this being released in December 1960 on Atlantic 2087. I believe it was recorded in April 28, 1958
Interestingly, a couple months after if was released Tommy Evans re-joined the Drifters...
This was recorded during the Bobby Hendricks Drip Drop session, but it wasn't released until late 1960 as a B side to I Count the Tears, which, in my opinion, was a damn shame. This duet between Hendricks and Tommy Evans is one of the original Drifters best tunes.
