The Drifters Miscellaneous There Goes My Baby There Goes My Baby The Drifters Written by Benjamin Nelson, Lover Patterson, and George Treadwell (with Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller) Peaked at # 2 in 1959 Their second-biggest hit, featuring lead singer Ben E. King. Co-songwriter Jerry Leiber later commented it was his least favorite of all the hits written with partner Mike Stoller; perhaps for this reason, the song is sometimes credited only to Nelson, Patterson, and Treadwell. Considered by some historians to be the first R&B hit to use strings, paving the way for the mass acceptance of R&B music by white audiences, and the transition of R&B to Soul music in the early 1960s. More than two decades later, it was covered by Donna Summer as a Top 25 dance hit in 1984. The Drifters' original also inspired the title of a 1992 film starring Dermot Mulroney and Rick Schroeder.
