The Coasters — artist
The Coasters are an American rhythm and blues and rock and roll vocal group known for their humorous and narrative-driven songs. Formed in 1955, they were heavily influenced by the doo-wop and early rock and roll sounds of the era. Their music is characterized by catchy melodies, clever lyrics, and a playful performance style. Working closely with the songwriting and producing team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, The Coasters created hits like "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown," which remain defining examples of their lively and engaging sound.
