Jimmy Williams And The Drifters - If You Could Love Me - Video
PUBLISHED:  Mar 27, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
Rockabilly Legend Johnny Powers joined Jimmy Williams and the Drifters in 1954 on Rhythm Guitar.
"We played dances at a place called 'Bill's Barn' and had a radio show every Saturday in Marine City, Michigan, on WDOG (It's now called WSMA, I believe). We had five or six pieces in the group and played straight-ahead country music." Johnny got his first taste of recording experience with Jimmy Williams and The Drifters, who cut a single on the Drifter label. He soon became interested in a 'new' sound called rock'n roll - long before music writers began categorizing various styles into rockabilly, Doo Wop and R&B.

I Could not find a photo of the band but if you watch the documentary here on youtube called "Johnny Powers Rockabilly Documentary" you will see a early photo of Johnny Powers with the band.
