The Coasters band members
from left: Ronnie Bright, Carl Gardner Jr., J.W. Lance and Alvin Morse
perform during the ‘Rock, Pop and Doo-Wop’ concert at the Baton Rouge
River Center Saturday afternoon (June 28, 2008). The high-spirited Coasters
stayed true to the group’s classic mix of great vocal ensemble and
comedy. After singing several hits (there are too many of them to fit in
the allotted time), the guys dragged bass singer Ronnie Bright, who
pretended to be fall off the stage drunk at the end of “Charlie Brown.” |
