The Coasters are one of the most successful vocal groups of the 1950s and early '60s, alongside The Drifters and The Platters. The group was formed in 1957 by two members of the Robins, Bobby Nunn and Carl Gardner, plus Billy Guy, Leon Hughes and Adolph Jacobs. The Coasters were produced by none others than Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who also wrote most of their hits like Charlie Brown, Yakety Yak, Young Blood and Poison Ivy. The Coasters were the first group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Their groundbreaking blend of raucous humor and rocking rhythms without question deserves such hallowed enshrinement, right alongside Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Elvis.
