The Coasters, like the Drifters went through many lineups over the years but still managed to keep Carl Gardner and their iconic bass singer. But, in 1990, a group touring as the Coasters , even though they were good, were exposed as frauds. The guys oldest member was hardly 30 years old . John Beauman ( Bowser) of Sha Na Na exposed them on stage as frauds. Later Bowser went in front of Congress and helped get legislation passed that stated one original member of a group had to be in a lineup in order for the group to use the original name. Carl Gardner Jr inherited the Coasters and has legal rights to the name. This excluded tribute bands as long as they were licensed.
Hi Nina. My name is Bob bock. My grandfather was the road manager for the coaster s for over 20 years. Do you remember Wally Bock? I'm sorry your uncle passed. I guess leon Hughes is the only original member remaining.
Hi Nina. My name is Robert bock. Im am wally bocks grandson. My Nick name is badgee. My grandfather was hired to road manage the coasters. He managed them for over 20 years. I will have to ask my dad exactly how many years exactly. The most meaningful gigs they did that I remember were raising money for jerry Lewis telethon. They really poured their hearts out. God bless you and your uncle Cornell in heaven. Cornell was amazing!
Im 29 years old and I recently discovered The Coasters. What a great sound and great taste for everyone. I guess you could say I am an old soul. Love these guys though. I encourage more people to look at this in great interest. Thank you for sharing I listen to this everyday with a smile.
I was in High School when this song was released. It was fun to listen to, however we had a student named Charlie Brown, who was a really nice guy. I felt bad that the song used his name.
One of my very personal favorites from one of the first & best of the rhythm and blues groups to cross over to the national charts with hit after hit & the first group to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1987 along with their writer /producers Jerry Leiber& Mike Stoller
THE COASTERS PERFORMED AT MY WHITE ELEPHANT CLUB IN 1960 - HEAR 5 UNRELEASED ALBUMS OF THE WORLDS MOST AMAZING RECORDS AT "BOB MACK PLAYS RARE PITTSBURGH DOO WOP" #
One of them is still alive! And he was still making music just 10 years ago. Good for him ... don't look up the rest. they did not die peacefully in their sleep by a country mile.
I was born in December 1966 I am 52 years old now. But I love that eta way before I was born. Those were the days, awesome and wonderful era nothing like the stupidity of today?
I envy you being old enough to be part of that wonderful time. I just got born and missed out on noticing and loving the music of 1958, the last year when Nobody was in Rock and Roll Heaven yet!
Here I am 19 years old. The song way before my time. But it resonates this character Charlie Brown. Us clown got to stick together raise a little hell and shake the establishment. Or in Kinder words write on the Whiteboard.
I was 3 months old on the 9th of March, 1959. Wish I'd been born in the late 1930s so I could have enjoyed these great hits first time round. Way better than all that modern garbage we get now.
If he stop picking on his baby sister Sally, stop yelling at Peppermint Patty. Treat Linus and Lucy better, and feed more dog food to Snoopy, then yes he would be treated better. :)
Years ago I saw an animated ad for this song where this kid drew a cartoon of the teacher on the wall--she was obviously out of the room when he did it.
On this day in 1959 {Feburary 28th} Cash Box released their Top 100 Singles for the week ending on Feb. 28th, and for the first time Cash Box began using a red 'bullet' to indicate songs that were rising up the chart at a quick pace.. The highest position record with a 'bullet' was "Charlie Brown" by the Coasters, it was at #3 but surprisingly it moved up only one position to it peak position of #2, and that was also its peak position on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart... The three lowest ranking records with a 'bullet' were all in their first week on the chart; "Telling Lies" by Fats Domino at #78, "Never Be Anyone Else But You" by Ricky Nelson at #79, and "Pink Shoe Laces" by Dodie Stevens at #81...
I remember watching Charlie brown cartoons growing up most people in the nineteen fifties especially kids who were too young to newspapers this was their first introduction to the cartoon characters.
I just love this song by the Coaster's and it is called Charlie Brown and it Came out the year I was born in 1959 such a great tune to dance to in the 50's
I watched Bandstand almost every day, but never got to see the Beech-Nut show because my dad commanded the TV set on Saturday night, so it was usually something like Lawrence Welk.
I was in the audience for this performance. So much fun!
Lucky you! I saw this on TV!
So fortunate!! American Bandstand was the bomb 🎉
Lucky, I was born way too late to see this performance live
Did you ever think you'd watch it on TH-cam? Pretty wild.🙂
That’s crazy! Did you enjoy it?
A group with classic music that's still loved decades after being released.
Coasters got it GOING ON!
P@@timothydrumm2846
The Coasters, a great group, their songs always made me laughing. I am enjoying this in 2019.
@Jevezy I'm laughing over it and jamming to it in isolation April 2020.
The greatest daddio ...! ...!

At 1:52, that dude kicks up a mean Charleston! Thank you Dick Clark for these great ol videos!!
That's one heck of a dance routine.
The Coasters were great. Sha Na Na also does a great version of this song. Check it out. It's on U Tube.
Oh man, the Coasters. Lots of talent.
RIP uncle Cornell.....my fave song he made. And he does The Charleston so well
Like he was moonwalking

He was pretty awesome and his legacy will never die.
These guys were super entertainers. This made me laugh. Love the Coasters.
The archetypal class clown, immortalized by The Coasters! Classic tune -- thanks for posting!
My father used to play this in the 70s and in 2021 it’s still great 👍
Your father had good taste in music 🎶
48 yrs of age, but grew up listing to this song.
I was charle brown, 76 now still Charlie Brown

This song reminds me of that "Jack" movie starring Robin Williams, great childhood memories 🎩🌹
The great, legendary Coasters. Rock-on!
I was in High School when this song was released. It was fun to listen to, however we had a student named Charlie Brown, who was a really nice guy. I felt bad that the song used his name.
Thomas W someone should look into that! Maybe like a detective named Colombo?
Wow really because I wonder what high school did you go to so I can go there When i move and listen to Charlie Brown all day
I always thought it was about Charlie Brown from The Peanuts
That means that you are around fourscore now, right?
I was born in 1957 and I remember this song.
This takes me back. My dad used to sing this to my brothers and I when we were young. Such fun times. Such a fun song. I love you daddy 💓❤💓❤💓❤
The Coasters + the songwriting duo of Leiber and Stoller = Genius
Copy that.
That dunce cap is classic.
One of my very personal favorites from one of the first & best of the rhythm and blues groups to cross over to the national charts with hit after hit & the first group to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1987 along with their writer /producers Jerry Leiber& Mike Stoller
I was a Junior in High School when this song was a big hit. We LUVED The Coasters!!
My parents had this album of the coasters from the 50's. I inherited it in the 60s. Great music. Still have album
I love this song. Brings back some great memories and the crazy kids I went to school with.
I knew a few Charlie Browns in school, they made life funny. This groups was a bunch of funny guys and great entertainers.
This was my dad's favorite song and I love it as well!
The Coasters also had the best sax work ever. King Curtis is his name i guess? Masterful.
Yes, the great King Curtis.
And not the only time he'd do it.
When i was little, we had a record player and a bunch of 45's. This was our favorite. Played it a lot. Yakkety Yak was probably #2. Good memories
For sure. I had an old Silvertone (Sears) 45 phono and wore it out on Rock 'N Roll records. What a time.
wow, the dancing!
1:51 if I could do that I would never stop...
Overused Clorox Bleach Joke lol
Great stuff loved the oldies
There was a Charie Brown in every school back in the day!
Classic song!
Hello Marla how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
No Charlie Browns today, they are trained not to have fun,,,,,//
Happy Birthday Dub Jones🎂🍾05-14-2022

Another Timeless Classic Hit Single from the Coasters with one of their biggest selling hit singles as it is Called Charlie Brown
Good wholesome funny songs love it back in the day lots of good tunes let’s keep it that way folks🕶”
BONJOUR A TOUS EXCELLENT DE EXCELLENT .
Super popular in the '50's. Met them in the early '70's at a RR show in Chicago. Great guys and no big heads.
When times get hard, pull out mamas music! Lifes a little better for it!
Was at a oldies concert in the '90s when the Coasters performed "Charlie Brown." One of my fondest memories.
The Coasters‼️. Incomparable ‼️❤️
Zurion Blake agreed.
I wish I was living in this time
Poor Charlie. People should treat him better.
DaveTheUseless He was pooping in the halls for Christians sake!
Chris Buck no he was goof'n in the hall
If he stop picking on his baby sister Sally, stop yelling at Peppermint Patty. Treat Linus and Lucy better, and feed more dog food to Snoopy, then yes he would be treated better. :)
DaveTheUseless LOL 😂
I'm hip.
Love that dance!
Long long ago, in a galaxy far far away.
Awesome!
Just one of the very best tunes of the 1950's just so good even now than when it first came out in 1959
They had a big sense of humour, great artists, very good song written and composed by two génius
Cool, nothing but Cool, Love their music.
Dad used to sing this song to us.
I loved this, thank you for sharing this. God Bless You.
I will always remember the time wrestler Jimmy Valiant used the song and character.
The white glasses and then that dance...I'm on the floor!
When I was little I thought this song was about the Peanuts character
Years ago I saw an animated ad for this song where this kid drew a cartoon of the teacher on the wall--she was obviously out of the room when he did it.
that`s funny becuase i fort this song was about me.
Stephen Mahala it was made in the 50’s before the peanuts
I thought that until I was today years old
Actually this song came out years after the Peanuts cartoon, but they still are not related.
Love this! I remember it as a kid lovingly.
I have always loved this song!
One of the funniest songs of all time.
It was always nice to see the backdrop always fit in with the songs
This is pure gold!!! Great post 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
remember listening to this on the Zenith radio with family.
This is just incredibly great 👍🏽
Great band no matter what lineup. Mr. Earl (Speedo) from the Cadillacs joined them at some point in time. Love this video.
was just watching this a few weeks ago and knew the tv host looked so familiar... Rest in Peace Dick Clark

With a lot of promotion by DJ Alan Freed.
Always loved the coasters.
They vibed so hard
I remember watching Charlie brown cartoons growing up most people in the nineteen fifties especially kids who were too young to newspapers this was their first introduction to the cartoon characters.
They are not related. Shultz's cartoon was in papers but this song was written by Lieber and Stoller for the Coasters.
@@wesleycook7687 they are, Leiber and Stoller lied about it to avoid lawsuits and sharing royalties with Schulz
I just love this song by the Coaster's and it is called Charlie Brown and it Came out the year I was born in 1959 such a great tune to dance to in the 50's
Joseph Kane the culture of music back then made for some great memories I'm sure.
I love the Coasters they got so many great tunes
The Fabulous Cornell Gunter.
That dance was the coolest. I gotta learn that dance
Charlie Brown...Good Grief!
Thanks for posting this clip in its entirety. There was an earlier upload that only included part of the Coasters' performance.
the coasters one of the best bands, wish i could meet them,
King Curtis rockin' on the sax. They had some great players on those records.
C. Brown Love you xoxoxo
I watched Bandstand almost every day, but never got to see the Beech-Nut show because my dad commanded the TV set on Saturday night, so it was usually something like Lawrence Welk.

love it!!! Thanks!
Great! thanks
Justin BROWN was a Charlie Brown..what memories
Dub Jones had a great voice and a great personality!
