Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Him?

Dead: Carl Gardner. Who? Lead singer of The Coasters. There aren't too many groups who had as many instantly recognizable hits, all Leiber and Stoller compositions. "Charlie Brown," "Yakety Yak," "Poison Ivy," "Along Came Jones," "Young Blood," "Searchin'." Gardner was the last surviving original member; his son now tours as lead singer of the group.
