"There Goes My Baby" is a song written by Ben E. King (Benjamin Nelson), Lover Patterson, George Treadwell, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller, 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.

Leiber and Stoller used a radically different approach to production than Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler had employed with the original Clyde McPhatter-led Drifters. The combination of new style and new group fit, and the song reached number two on the Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard R&B chart and on the Cash Box sales chart for two weeks, in the summer of 1959. The Atlantic Records release was King's debut recording as lead singer of the group. The personnel on the original recording included Mike Stoller on piano, King Curtis on sax, Wendell Marshall on bass, and Sticks Evans on drums & tympani.

The song was included in the musical revue "Smokey Joe's Cafe".

Charlie and Ben E. are together again in this special archival moment from my personal archives. Never-before-seen on TV.

The Drifters were one of the best male vocal groups of the 1950s and 1950s. "Save the Last Dance for Me" written by Mort Shuman and Doc Pomus was released as a single by The Drifters in August 1960 on Atlantic Records and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard pop and R&B charts. The recording was produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and featured Ben E. King on lead vocal, Charlie Thomas, Dock Green , and Elsbeary Hobbs on background vocals, Bucky Pizzarelli and Allen Hanlon on guitar, Lloyd Trotman on bass, and Gary Chester on drums. The song appeared on the album, Save The Last Dance For Me released in 1962 on Atlantic and is available on CD on The Very Best of The Drifters on Rhino/Atlantic.

The Four Tops had a hit with this in 1968, with Levi Stubbs on lead vocals. Composed by The Left Banke's then 16-year-old keyboard player Michael Brown (real name Michael Lookofsky) and Tony Sansone.

And when I see the sign that points one way.
The lot we used to pass by every day.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.

From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry.
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes.
For me it cries.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes.
For me, it cries.

Your name and mine inside a heart on a wall,
Still finds a way to haunt me though they are so small.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.
