Lance and Alvin Morse perform during the ‘Rock, Pop and Doo-Wop’ concert at the Baton Rouge River Center Saturday afternoon (June 28, 2008). ADVOCATE STAFF PHOTO BY DENNY CULBERT. The Coasters, featuring Carl Gardner Jr., son of founding member Carl Gardner, hit the stage in cherry-red suits. The senior Gardner retired from performing in 2005 and now acts as the group’s official coach. The Coasters’ current lineup includes tenor vocalist and New Orleans native J.W. Lance, who left the stage to hug his mother in the audience. The high-spirited Coasters stayed true to the group’s classic mix of great vocal ensemble and comedy. After singing several hits (there are too many of them to fit in the allotted time), the guys dragged bass singer Ronnie Bright, who pretended to be fall off the stage drunk at the end of “Charlie Brown.” By JOHN WIRT, Music Critic, Published: June 29, 2008. From 2theAdvocate.com, Louisiana. 2 Those Hoodlum Friends – The R&B Pioneers, Volume Three of twelve THE COASTERS 1959 From "Hound Dog - The Leiber and Stoller Autobiography" (Simon & Schuster, 2009): "Leiber: Lester Sill... took us back to Modern and this time made sure we met the Bihari brothers, who also invited their ace singing group, the Robins, to hear our stuff. We let loose with something we had just written, a different take on the Bible than what I'd studied at Hebrew shool. ..The Robins dug our new creation myth and cut ' That's What The Good Book Says' a month later. It came out in early 1951. …A real record. Our very first, with our names on it, although misspelled. ..Stoller: We had our first record and, believe it or not, within a month we had our second (Jimmy Witherspoon's live recorded 'Real Ugly Woman'; ed.note). ..Stoller: Billy Guy was the comic. He had great timing and loved to play the country yokel. In real life, he was city-sharp and super-hip. Leiber: Carl Gardner,.. had an exquisite tenor voice.. Stoller: a great lead singer ... Dub had one of the great bass voices... Some bass singers have mer volume; but Dub had both resonance and subtlety. He was an artist... In 1958, we developed a new approach to the Coasters' records. A duet lead featuring Carl and Billy." Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (with David Ritz).

Lance, Carl Gardner Jr, Primotivo Candalera, Ronnie Bright. "Leiber & Stoller reached their early zeniths with the Coasters. They charted twenty-four times with their pet project, which personified the playlets - two-and-a-half-minute musical radio plays. The Coasters were a group of vaudevillians, tummlers, comedians to boot, and comedians receive sustenance in delicatessens. ‘Thay ate white food, pastrami sandwiches, never ribs and cornbread,' says Jerry (Leiber, ed.note). 'In fact, ordering pastrami was the secret of their success'. Fifty years later, the following songs are still on the tip of everyones tounge: 'Charlie Brown', 'Yakety Yak', 'Little Egypt', 'Poison Ivy', 'Along Came Jones', 'Searchin' ', and 'Young Blood'. Even though the brilliant 'Down Home Girl' and 'D.W. Washburn' were covered by the Stones and the Monkees, respectively, it's the lesser-known tracks that are the most fascinating today: 'Shopping for Clothes', 'The Slime', ‘Idol with the Golden Head', 'Run Red Run', 'The Shadow Knows', 'Three Cool Cats', 'Bad Blood', ' Wake Me, Shake Me', 'Down in Mexico', 'Turtle Dovin' ', and 'Soul Pad' ".

As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out.
