The Drifters, regarded as one of early rock and roll’s greatest groups, charted with many million selling hits, including “Under the Boardwalk,” “On Broadway,” “Save The Last Dance for Me,” “Up On The Roof,” “There Goes My Baby,” “This Magic Moment” and others. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Drifters number 81 on their 100 greatest artists of all time. The group has also been inducted into The Rock and Roll and Vocal Group Hall of Fames. The Salute to The Drifters lineup is led by legendary longtime lead vocalist Linwood Peel of Elsbeary Hobbs’ Drifters, who is regarded by many as one of the best live performers in Drifters history. The Platters were formed in Los Angeles in the 1950s and since their first recording was released, the group has sold over 100 million records worldwide. The Platters have over 16 gold records to their credit. Among their early rock and roll hits are “The Great Pretender,” “Only You,” “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “The Magic Touch,” “Twilight Time,” “My Prayer,” “Harbor Lights” and more. The Platters were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
The Corvettes Doo Wop Revue – think of a mini-version of Sha Na Na, tours nationwide on their own as well as with many singing groups from the 1950s and early 1960s, including The Tokens, Danny and The Juniors, The

Explore the heartbreaking consequences prospective residents and their families face when difficult decisions are delayed.

This powerful piece sheds light on the emotional reality seniors face behind closed doors and why choosing support earlier can mean preserving dignity, independence, friendships, and a far better quality of life.
