THE 1972 HITS ARCHIVE - Here in one place, a comprehensive collection of ‘pop’ best-sellers and songs which made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1972 (some were recorded in 1971)

The Drifters perform on the BBC's Thursday Top of The Pops programme, most of the groups in the 1970s mimed to 7" single records hence the problem with the synchronicity.I last saw the group perform live at The Golden Garter in Wythenshawe, Manchester around 1983; they were fabulous.

The date given for the recording is approximate, all rights reserved for their respective owners.

Saturday Night At The Movies is a 1964 song by the fabulous Drifters. In my opinion, The Drifters were the all time greatest recording group of the 50's and 60's.

In 1988 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted
the seven significant contributors to The Drifters' legacy - originals
Clyde McPhatter, Bill Pinkney, and Gerhardt Thrasher, along with
subsequent members Ben E. King, Charlie Thomas, Rudy Lewis,
and Johnny Moore. Only King and Thomas are alive today.

The group was formed in 1953 by lead singer in the Dominoes Clyde McPhatter and Ahmet Ertegun - founder of Atlantic Records under the management of former jazz singer George Treadwell. Right from the very beginning there was a constant succession of regular lineup changes that would characterize The Drifters name. Early line up members included William Anderson, David Baughan, David Baldwin and James Johnson, bass player Bill Pinkney, guitarist Jimmy Oliver, brothers Gerhart and Andrew Thrasher and bass singer Willie Ferbee.

Early recordings included songs such as 'Lucille,' 'Money Honey,' 'Such a Night' and 'Honey Love.' The Drifters' career was quickly established and they became one of the most popular acts in the charts and on stage. In 1954, McPhatter parted with the group to pursue a solo career that would make him successful for the rest of the 1950s. He sold off his interest in the group to George Treadwell, making the line up nothing more than salaried members earning as little as $100 a week - a factor that contributed to the constant line up rotation in the group's history.

Ertegun, Treadwell and Jerry Wexler decided to continue recording The Drifters. In 1954, George Treadwell auditioned tenor Johnny Moore, previously a member of The Hornets, who would remain with the group for over two decades. A number one R&B chart single, 'Adorable' followed thanks to the outstanding songwriting talents of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who would later take over the job of producing the group.

The first album by group, entitled 'Clyde McPhatter & the Drifters' was released in 1956. Despite a busy tour diary, financial disputes continued as did the constant line up change, with the departure of Bill Pinkney and Andrew Thrasher. Subsequent line up members included Jimmy Ricks, Tom Evans, Charlie Hughes, Jimmy Millender and guitarist Jimmy Oliver.

On one occasion, George Treadwell sacked the entire line up just before a show at the Apollo Theater in New York and replaced them with a group known as 'The Five Crowns'. And so the rotation continued, with a new line up that included baritone Benjamin Earl Nelson, later known as Ben E. King, Dock Green and Elsbeary Hobbs.

The group still had a recording contract with Atlantic Records and the hits kept coming including "There Goes My Baby, "Dance With Me," "This Magic Moment," "I Count the Tears," and "Save the Last Dance for Me," followed. Ben E King was replaced by Johnny Williams, who exited suddenly in late 1960 but was replaced by Rudy Lewis, who took the lead on "Some Kind of Wonderful," "Up on the Roof" and "On Broadway" among others.

Lewis, tragically, was not the longest serving of the group's lead vocalists but his time with The Drifters, following King's, arguably constituted the second golden age in their history. Success followed in the 1960's notably in 1964 with a song by composers Art Resnick and Kenny Young, called "Under the Boardwalk." In 1964. Tragically, just hours before a recording session began, Rudy Lewis was found dead in his apartment under circumstances that are still in dispute.

The death of George Treadwell in 1967 proved to be yet another stumbling block for The Drifters' continuation as a going concern. George's wife Faye Treadwell took over the reins and took the group to England, where they nurtured a relationship of a further 15 years under the Bell Arista label. Releases included "Come on Over to My Place" "Like Sister And Brother", "Kissing In The Back Row Of The Movies", "There Goes My First Love", "Your More Than A Number In My Little Red Book", "Saturday Night At The Movies" and many more.

The Drifters became a dance-disco outfit for a time during the late '70s, focussing on stage presentation and fabulous showmanship and eventually developed their act to cover all eras of their glittering career. Thereafter, the band earned a reputation as one of the finest live acts in the world and even Ben E. King returned to the line-up for a tour in the late '80s.

Several successful tours followed for many years under the guidance of Faye Treadwell and the succession of line up changes that had become synonymous with the name from the very beginning continued. In 2003 'The Definitive Drifters' album was released in the UK.

Cement is a kind of powdery material. When properly mixed with water, it will turn into slurry. The slurry will gradually harden in air and glue together the granular or fibrous materials such as sand and stone firmly. It is widely used in all aspects of our lives, such as subway construction, bridge construction, and residential building construction. It is an indispensable part of our city.

The production process of silicate cement (also known as Portland cement) is representative in cement production. It usually adopts limestone and clay as main materials. After been crushed, proportioned and ground into appropriate granularity, most of the raw materials will be fed into cement kiln for calcining clinker, and then we usually add an appropriate amount of gypsum (sometimes mixed with other materials or additives) in the cement grinding process, finally obtaining the cement products with a qualified fineness. At cement plant, according to different raw materials preparation methods, cement manufacturing can be divided into the dry process (including semi-dry process) and wet process (including semi-wet process). Next, we will discuss the wet process of cement manufacturing in details.

Wet Process and Dry Process
Wet Process
The wet process of cement manufacturing refers to grinding raw material into slurry after mixing with water and then feeding them into the wet process kiln for drying and calcination and finally forming clinker. The slurry’s water content is usually between 32%-36%. In addition, the raw material slurry can also be dehydrated into raw material blocks and put into the kiln to calcine clinker. This method is called the semi-wet process, which still belongs to the cement wet process production.

Advantages: the wet process of cement production has the characteristics of simple operation, low dust and easy conveying. Because the slurry has fluidity so that its homogeneity is good and the quality of clinker is improved. What’s more, the energy consumption of raw material grinding in the wet process is reduced by nearly 30%.

Disadvantages: the heat consumption of the wet process is too high, usually between 5234-6490 J/kg and the consumption of ball mill vulnerable parts is also large. Compared with other processing methods, the clinker manufactured by the wet process has a low temperature when it comes out of the kiln, so this method is not suitable to produce the clinker with a high silica rate and high aluminum-oxygen rate.

Dry Process
The dry process of cement manufacturing means that after raw materials with different particle sizes are dried, broken and ground into powders of certain fineness, they will be sent into the dry process kiln for calcining, finally forming clinker. Besides, the raw material powder can also be made into raw material balls by adding a proper amount of water and then be directly sent to the Lepol kiln for calcining. This method is called a semi-dry process, which belongs to the cement dry process production.

Advantages: as the dry process is to directly feed raw material powder into the rotary kiln for calcination, and the moisture content of raw materials is about 1% – 2%, it saves the heat consumption needed for the moisture evaporation. Therefore, this method has the advantages of energy-saving, high production efficiency and stable output, which can meet the production needs of large cement plants. At the same time, there is less sewage discharged in the dry process cement production. It is conducive to environmental protection. Nowadays, we call the production line with preheater and precalciner as the new dry process cement production line, which is the development direction of dry process cement manufacturing in the future.

Disadvantages: the disadvantages of dry process are the inhomogeneous composition of raw materials, high power consumption and the high dust content in the workshop.

Procedures of the Wet Process
The procedures of the wet process are basically the same with the dry process, which can be divided into three stages: raw materials preparation, clinker calcination, and the cement grinding. All of these stages are covered in the article What You Need to Know about Portland Cement Manufacturing Process we mentioned before.

Similar to the dry process, materials also need to undergo quarrying, primary crushing, secondary crushing, proportioning and grinding in the raw materials preparation stage of the wet process. The biggest difference between the two methods is that in the wet process, water is usually required as a process media added in the raw mix to form slurry. After mixing and blending, the slurry will be stored in the slurry tank waiting for further processing. While in the dry method cement production line, the raw mix doesn’t need water.
