America\u2019s premiere R&B vocal group and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, The Coasters, have had one incredible, miraculous, astounding ride in the music business. Less of a group and more of an institution, The Clown Princes of Rock & Roll established themselves 6 decades ago, and in that time have seen many musical fads come and go. But one thing has always remained – the power of a truly timeless song especially when experienced through the prism of the expertly sung 4-part harmonies that are The Coasters stock in trade. To commemorate the group\u2019s unique and longstanding career, The Coasters are proud to present Magical Favorites a collection of brand new recordings covering some of the very best American rock and R&B classics such as Sam Cooke\u2019s \u201cYou Send Me,\u201d The Temptations \u201cJust My Imagination,\u201d Elvis Presley\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Be Cruel\u201d and many more – all done in the indelible Coasters way! Magical Favorites will be available March 31 from Goldenlane Records.<\/div>\n
<\/a>For those unfamiliar with the group\u2019s history, The Coasters scored their first hit single \u201cDown In Mexico\u201d in the spring of 1956, which they followed in 1957 with \u201cYoung Blood\u201d and \u201cSearchin\u2019\u201d the following year. In 1958, the band again hit the chart with two blockbuster hits that would become as iconic as the band that sang them, \u201cYakety Yak\u201d and \u201cCharlie Brown.\u201d From then on, it was hit after hit for the group with songs such as \u201cPoison Ivy,\u201d \u201cAlong Came Jones,\u201d \u201cLove Potion #9,\u201d \u201cZing Went The Strings Of My Heart\u201d and many more! The line-up of The Coasters that was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 (Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Will Jones, Cornell Gunter) have all since passed but their legacy lives on with the help of Joe Lance Williams (tenor\/baritone), Primo Candelara (tenor), Dennis Anderson (baritone), and Eddie Whitfield (bass). Three of these gifted vocalists were personally handpicked by group founder Carl Gardner, with Dennis coming aboard in 2011 after Carl had passed. Though often imitated, they have never been duplicated and they continue to do what they do best on both the stage and in the studio, entertain the audience!<\/div>\n
