The rhythm and blues singer was found dead at his hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida, a police spokesman said.
Pinkney, who had suffered health problems, was scheduled to perform with The Original Drifters at the resort as part of the 4th of July celebrations.
His death was announced after the show. The Drifters' hits include I Gotta Get Myself a Woman and Money Honey.
His distinctive bass voice can also be heard on their 1954 cover version of White Christmas, which was used in the film Home Alone.
