With 60 vocalists who have drifted in and out of one of America's earliest rhythm and soul groups, the focus on The Drifters has rarely been about individual singers. The emphasis is on the definitive doo-wop sounds that originated more than 60 years ago and helped the group land a spot among the first group of legends ever initiated into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Fellow inductees that year included The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and The Supremes.

One of the country's most vibrant eras in music, in general and especially for women, was the 1960s, filled to the brim with girl groups like The Chantels and The Supremes, folk pioneers like Joan Baez, and songwriters so influential that, decades later, that musical written about them keeps filling its Broadway house to capacity for close to four years (Carole King, of course). In the midst of political and public unrest, in a male-dominated world and industry, these women made space and carved out their own spots in music history.
Who better to spotlight these singers and songwriters than Carole J. Bufford, who has carved out her own spot within the New York cabaret scene as an enthusiastic and rich interpreter of the Jazz Age songbook, and returned to the circuit with something a little different: YOU DON'T OWN ME: THE FEARLESS FEMALES OF THE 1960S, a celebration of the 'bold and daring women [who] planted their flags and ensured their voices were heard.' And as it turns out, it's not only Bufford's most fearless show, but also one of her best.
