Up On The Roof This single written by Goffin/King, recorded by The Drifters and released late 1962. And although it failed to chart in UK it became a top 5 hit in the USA. Double bass performance George Duvivier. Tab by bass50611. Welcome to my simplified version of this Drifters classic and although not exact it sure fits the song.
