“There Goes My Baby” is a song written by Ben E. King (Benjamin Nelson), Lover Patterson and George Treadwell, and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for The Drifters. This was the first single by the second incarnation of the Drifters (previously known as the 5 Crowns), who assumed the group name in 1958 after manager George Treadwell fired the remaining members of the original lineup. Lieber and Stoller used a different song structure than they had in their previous successes with Clyde McPhatter. The combination of new style and new group fit, and the song reached number two on the Hot 100 and number one on the R&B chart, in the summer of 1959.. The Atlantic Records release was King’s debut recording as lead singer of the group. Read on...
