The Coasters - On Broadway
The Coasters were formed on October 12, 1955 when only two of The Robins, a Los Angeles–based rhythm-and-blues group, were willing to go to Atlantic Records. Those two were dubbed The Coasters because they went from West to East coast. The Robins included Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn. The original Coasters were Gardner, Nunn, Billy Guy, Leon Hughes (who was replaced by Young Jessie on a couple of their early Los Angeles recordings), and the guitarist Adolph Jacobs. Jacobs left the group in 1959.
