Rock and Roll Great 'Yakety Yak' singer Carl Gardner dies at 83

The Coasters other hits included 'Charlie Brown,' 'Smokey Joe's Cafe,' 'Poison Ivy'

The Coasters bring a lot of memories back for me. I loved their stuff. Carl Gardner had a great voice, and they were fun to listen to. Sigh…so long ago.
