Search - Coasters :: Court Jesters of Rock & Roll

Back when rock ?n? roll was fun, no group mixed music and comedy as successfully as The Coasters. Although their onstage antics and undeniable funny lyrics might have suggested a troupe of clowns, they were no mere novelty act! From 1956 to 1961, The Coasters unleashed a barrage of classic singles that reflected the life of the American teenager with keen wit and hot harmonies. Invariably, those songs were written, arranged, and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two of the most important songwriters in the history of rock ?n? roll. Court Jesters of Rock & Roll includes their Number One smash hits "Poison Ivy," "Searchin?" and "Yakety Yak".
