Der Tenor-S\u00e4nger Charles Nowlin Thomas stie\u00df 1958 zur damals bereits seit f\u00fcnf Jahren bestehenden Band The Drifters dazu.

Selbiges f\u00fcr die Songs \u201eWhen My Little Girl Is Smiling\u201c und \u201eI Don\u2019t Want To Go On Without You.\u201c<\/p>\n

Thomas wurde als Teil der bis 1978 bestehenden Band Ende der 80er-Jahre in die Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame aufgenommen<\/a>. Mit der neu gegr\u00fcndeten Formation Charlie Thomas And The Drifters war Thomas zuletzt aktiv, bis die Gruppe aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie das Touren einstellte.<\/p>\n
