Cliff Richard is a British singer and not part of a French band. He gained fame in the UK during the 1950s and 1960s, often associated with the rock and roll genre. The Drifters, on the other hand, are an American doo-wop and R&B group that has undergone various lineup changes over the years. While both had significant impacts on their respective music scenes, they are not connected to a French band.
His first band was in high school called "The Quintones" He then joined the Dick Teague Skiffle Group in 1957 and subsequently left with drummer Terry Smart to form their own rock 'n' roll band, the Drifters in 1958. After getting a record contract they became Cliff Richard and the Drifters (for a few months until a few line up changes and the American Drifters made them change their name to the Shadows).
There are actually three answers to this question, depending where you want to set your goalposts! While Cliff Richard's first album, Cliff, was recorded with The Shadows in 1959, at this time The Shadows were actually called The Drifters. The Shadows also appear on Cliff's second album, Cliff Sings, released the same year, but only appear on half of the tracks. The first album on which The Shadows are both the only backing band AND under the name The Shadows (and not The Drifters!) is Me and My Shadows, released in 1960.
The Drifters is a popular singing group which originated in the 1950's as a backup band. They have recorded under Atlantic, Bell and Neon Record labels.
