Yakety Yak

With legendary status dating back to each band’s foundations in the 1950s, The Drifters (1959), The Platters (1952) and The Coasters (1955) music lovers will relish the juke box of favorite rock’n’roll, R&B and doo-wop hits during this special performance.

Everyone will sing or hum along to classics including “This Magic Moment,” “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Under the Board walk,” “Only You,” “The Great Pretender,” “Charlie Brown” and “Poison Ivy.”

Ranked among Rolling Stone magazine’s greatest artists of all time, The Drifters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

The Platters are known for 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and their Rock Hall induction in 1990.

And officially touring with the name Cornell Gunter’s Coasters as a nod to one of the band’s members from 1958 to 1961, The Coasters were among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s second-year inductees in 1987 with “Yakety Yak” and other legendary tunes.
