His sweet, angelic tenor was first put to gospel singing, but in 1950, it turned to secular music when Clyde joined Billy Ward &#038; The Dominoes. After scoring numerous hits with The Dominoes, McPhatter left to form his OWN group, The Drifters. Depression, alcoholism and the changing sound of R&B; would eventually ruin his career and his life, but this week HARLEM remembers one of the true great, CLYDE McPHATTER.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color:#000099;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color:#3366ff;\"><u>HARLEM airs on the 50s on 5:<\/u><br \/><\/span>Monday 1\/30 @ 1pm over NYC<br \/>Tuesday 1\/31 @ 9pm PST &#8211; midnight EST<br \/>Friday 2\/3 @ 6pm EST<br \/>Sunday 2\/5 @ 11am over Boston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Clyde McPhatter&#8217;s high tenor takes off like a guided missile.
