It was early 1970 when The Drifters managed by Faye Treadwell, widow to the legendary George Treadwell left Atlantic Records, which had been the home of the group during the earlier years of success, and moved to Bell Records (Now known as Arista Records as part of Sony BMG). The Drifters lineup now consisted of what became known as the classic group of the seventies. This line up featuring Butch went on to record four hugely successful albums and this era became known as the third ‘Golden Period’ of the Drifters legacy.

During his time as a second tenor and baritone with the Drifters, Butch helped record the memorable hits ‘Down on the Beach Tonight’, ‘Kissing in the Back Row of the Movies’, ‘Love Games’ and ‘There Goes My First Love’, which topped the British and European charts in the early seventies.

It was also during this period that Joe was featured as a vocalist on the following Drifter album tracks: “Like A Movie I’ve Seen Before”, “Twice A Week”, “I’ll Know When True Love Really Passes By”, “When You Coming Home” and “Knee High To A Grasshopper”. After a brief hiatus, Joe Blunt returned to The Drifters in 1983 along with Johnny Moore, Ben E. King, and Clyde Brown.
