Clyde McPhatter

Clyde McPhatter  (November 15, 1932 – June 13, 1972) was an American R&B, soul and rock n’ roll singer.  He was immensely influential, perhaps the most widely imitated R&B singer of the 1950s and 1960s, making him a key figure in the shaping of doo-wop and R&B.  His high-pitched tenor voice was steeped in the gospel music he sang in much of his younger life.  He is best known for his solo hit “A Lover’s Question”.  After his tenure with the Dominoes, McPhatter formed his own group, the Drifters, before going solo.  He was the first artist in music history to become a double inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first as a member of the Drifters, and later as a solo artist; and as a result, all subsequent double and triple inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are said to be members of “The Clyde McPhatter Club”.  (More from Wikipedia)
