COASTERS REVIVE THE ’FIFTIES IN NEW COLUMBIA FILM MUSICAL The Coasters, one of the featured groups in “Let The Good Times Roll,” the Metromedia Producers Corporation film for Columbia Pictures, vividly re-create the 1950 s with stirring renditions of their universal hits, “Yackity Yack,” “Charlie Brown,” and “Along Came Jones,” among others. Situation comedy is The Coasters forte, and time and again in the multiscreen musical filmed with Richard Nader as concert producer, The Coasters display clever and colorful playlets on everyday themes. Named for their west coast origin, The Coasters were originally known as The Robins. Their first record “Down In Mexico”, recorded in the Spring of 1957, exploded the group into fame. Their songs, their parodies and the tunes that became million sellers included “Searchin,” ‘‘Poison Ivy”, the aforementioned ‘‘Charlie Brown,” “Along Came Jones,” and “Yackity Yack.” Joining The Coasters in “Let The Good Times Roll”, which was filmed in the unheard-of-time of three days, are such rock ‘n roll superstars as Chubby Checker, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Billy Haley and the Comets, Fats Domino,, The Shirelies, Bo Diddley, The Five Satins, among others. 8.8.

I’ll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same, For some day down the lonely road You’ll hear me call your name.
