History
The Coasters were formed in October 1955 as a spino of the Robins, a Los Angeles-based rhythm and blues
group that included Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn. The
original Coasters were Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Bobby
Nunn, Leon Hughes (who was replaced by Young Jessie
on a couple of their early Los Angeles recordings), and
guitarist Adolph Jacobs. Jacobs left the group in 1959.[2]
The songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller had
started Spark Records, and in 1955 produced "Smokey
Joes Cafe" for the Robins[1] (their 5th single with LeiberStoller). The record was popular enough for Atlantic
Records to oer Leiber and Stoller an independent production contract to produce the Robins for the Atlantic label. Only two of the RobinsGardner and Nunnwere
willing to make the move to Atlantic, recording their rst
songs in the same studio as the Robins had done (Master
Recorders). In late 1957, the group moved to New York
and replaced Nunn and Hughes with Cornell Gunter and
Will Dub Jones. The new quartet was from then on stationed in New York (although all had Los Angeles roots).
