The Coasters

So I was two when it came out.

They came from L.A. and that's a song, one of the first songs that was recorded, written by Lieber and Stoller, who wrote a lot of Elvis's stuff and Yakety Yak by the Coasters and poison i they were prolific kind of songwriters all through the kind of 50s and 60s so yeah libra and stoller one of the that's what they began with so yeah but it's a nice little single that uh before that we had the risillos doing can't stand my baby from edinburgh and uh what are we doing now all right we're going down to uh detroit is that going down to detroit from edinburgh They're probably on about the same level, I don't know, north-wise.

Longitude and latitude.

It's latitude, isn't it? Or is it? Oh God, I don't know.

Uh, in 1927, George C. Scott.

Ronnie Bright in 1938, he was a member of The Coasters.

The Coasters.

Laura Nyro was born in 1947.

Uh, I've got a few of her albums.

Ronnie Bright was born in 1938.

He was famous for his work with groups like the Cadillacs and also the Coasters, and he also did the bass vocals on Johnny Cymbal's 1963 song called Mr. Bass Man.

In 1975, Baby Bash was born.

Rapper and singer who was big in the independent Latin hip-hop scene had a big hit in 2003 for the song Sugar Sugar.

And certainly Judge Nelson never had been about this Beatles connection.

After dinner, the group went out to Murray's Mau Mau Lounge, nothing to do with Murray the Kay, in the Green Mansions Motel to see the Coasters.

This was another half-hour drive from the Dresdner's house or from the Deauville if they stopped back on the way.

The Coasters, an all-black group signed to Atlantic Records, were in residence at the Mau Mau from the 12th to the 16th of February.

It should be noted that the Beatles were big fans.

Searchin', Three Cool Cats, Besame Mucho, and Yakety Yak were all Coaster's covers in the Beatles' repertoire.

Paul and George were also involved in Jackie Lomax's cover of the Coaster's Thumbin' a Ride for Apple a few years later.

The chance to see them live in a small Miami club was too good to miss.

No, uh, yes, it would have been at Pershing, wouldn't it?

I think I saw The Coasters one time.

Oh.

Out of the blue, The Coasters were playing.

That's awesome.

And I was really young.

Like, they wrote a lot for Elvis, uh, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, You're So Square.

Um, they wrote for The Coasters, Yakety Yak, Poison Ivy, Charlie Brown.

Searchin', covered by The Beatles, Young Blood, Ruby Tuesday.

Oh, I love that song.

The Drifters do the Hanky Panky.

The Coasters do the Hanky Panky.

But I go out of my mind, he's smooth as wine when-a my baby does the Hanky Panky.

My baby does the Hanky Panky.
