The Coasters:

Greatest Hits:

When I was about six I heard Yakety Yak for the first time...and, well, I thought it was the funniest song I had ever heard. Later I heard Along Came Jones, and I thought IT was the funniest song I'd ever heard. Still later, I thought the same thing about Charlie Brown. Then I heard Poison Ivy. A song, that even in my child's mind, I knew was sexy. As a kid I had no idea all these songs I loved were by the same group, The Coasters. And I haven't even mentioned the incredible groove of Down In Mexico.
