I am here SEARCHING for the number 1 song on my birthday. 😊 My mother was the one who gave me my love for music and dancing. I remember her singing and dancing to all the latest songs like Charlie Brown and Yakety Yak. My grandaddy’s name was Charlie and we got a kick out of singing that song to him. I miss my people so much for the truest love I’ve ever known and am grateful they passed on their love of music to me, which I am passionate about to this day. 🎶💃🏾💙

OKG How I love this song! Dang 70 years old and they still make me want to get up and dance. I so love you guys!

Terrific LOUD sound. First concert I even went to was The Coasters in Long Beach Calif auditorium 1956 or 57 when I was 14 or 15. This song is STILL terrific. So glad to see recent posts, people still watching, hearing this great group.

My first time seeing the coasters perform was in the early 60s at the Howard theater located in Washington DC. I was also a musician myself at the time as a bass guitar player. Later I had the opportunity of recording a song with the lead singer of the coasters Billy guy around 1966 in a recording studio down town DC 22nd & K st NW. Billy recorded a song title Do The Squirrel Robert Earl and that was the last time that I saw him.RIP BILLY

One of the truly great groups throughout the 1950's. They set the stage for much of what was to come in the 1960's.

Grateful for Dick Clark having the insight, wherewithal and courage to exspose America to Black music. We could hea it on the radio, but many groups would have never been seen on TV if it was not for Dick! Peace.

The Coasters are legendary

they are perfect in this song.

In Frankfort Ky in the mid-1980s, I had a friend who had heard that the Coasters were going to be at a little downtown bar auditioning for band members. Several of my friends and I went to the bar and we got an almost private performance of the Coasters playing all their hits. There were only about 10 people in the bar and we were about 15 feet from the stage. I'll be 81 this year and that night was one of the highlights of my life.

Love This song

Awesome, Rock on Coasters, loving it in 2021!!!

A buddy and I took-our wives to LasVegas to see the Coasters and what a show those men put on. I think there was 2 original members but you would never know it.

More Coasters forever! This song has the memories of my first dance, first prom and first venture into the outside world, the Air Force.

This is one of the greatest two sided hits of all time - the other side being Young Blood. Anyone who was a teenager in New York like was in the late 50s, can't forget it. One of my all-time favorites. When the Beatles first started out, I thought they were a pale imitation of the Coasters. I didn't see them then, but did manage to see them perform in an Oldies review at I think the Fillmore East in Manhattan around 1989.
