3 comments so far (post your own)From 1956 to 1961, The Coasters released a string of classic songs that reflected the life of the 50s American teenager with keen wit and rocking harmonies, but they were also one of the few bands in rock history to successfully straddle the line between music and comedy. Their undeniably funny lyrics and on stage antics might suggest a group of clowns. Posted by Andrew on Saturday, 02/15/2014 @ 22:44pm |
