Under the leadership of original lead singer, Carl Gardner, The Coasters™, occupy a special niche in the music field. Because of their style and approach, they are in a class of their own. No wonder THE COASTERS™ are labeled “THE CLOWN PRINCE’S OF ROCK AND ROLL”.Nothing in the world is more difficult to achieve than a long term career in the record business by being funny. But THE COASTERS™ have had a long unbroken string of hits all containing humorous materials. In this respect, THE COASTERS™ are certainly unique. In 1958, THE COASTERS™ again hit the charts with two blockbuster hits, “YAKETY YAK” and “CHARLIE BROWN”. These stayed on the Billboard charts top ten for several weeks with “Yakety Yak” at No. 1 and “Charlie Brown”, No. 2.
