A Tribute To A Musician From My Early Days

by Bill Farnham Posted: 13 years ago 6 replies

Carl Gardner, the lead singer of The Coasters, died Sunday in Port St. Lucie, Fla. He was 83 years old.

This was a very popular group when I was younger.

Gardner was the last surviving member of The Coasters.

R.I.P. my friend.

I was about to say that I have never heard of either him or the band, but I sure knew the song once I pressed play and I'm 38 and in England.
