After signing a record contract with Pye Records, Joe Dolan and his backing band the Drifters recorded a version of Burt Bacharach’s "The Answer To Everything," which reached the Irish Top 10 in 1964. One of the most successful Irish showbands of their era, the Drifters enjoyed a string of hits including "My Own Peculiar Way," "Aching Breaking Heart," "Two Of A Kind," and "Tar And Cement." It was not until Dolan recorded solo that he broke into the U.K. charts, as "Make Me An Island" climbed to #3 in 1969. Subsequent hits included the plaintive "Teresa," and "You’re Such A Good Looking Woman." In 1978, Dolan became the first western pop singer to play in Moscow. He continued recording and touring until his death in 2007.
Joe Dolan has also released music as a member of Joe Dolan & The Drifters Showband and Sweeney's Men.
