| | The Coasters - Biography |
 | | All of the Coasters material was written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who also wrote for Elvis Presley, The Drifters, The Dixie Cups, Peggy Lee, and Willie May Thorton, just to name a few. | | | No wonder the coasters are labeled "the clown princes of rock and roll." Nothing in the world is more difficult to achieve than a long-term career in the record business by being funny. | | | They occupy a special niche in the music world. |

| | The Coasters |
| | The Coasters truly deserve their high rankings in music history - hand-chosen professional performers, all debuting during the early years of rhythm and blues and contributing to the emerging of original rock ´n´ roll - exciting individuals, creating the best of vocal group harmonies ever waxed. | | | Rhino´s "The Very Best of The Coasters" is their most worthwhile best-of anthology, but Rhino Records of the U.S. has also issued a superb double CD titled "50 Coastin´ Classics". | | | The productions of the Coasters´ Atco recordings were far superior to any contemporary group efforts (using the best musicians available, especially Texan King Curtis´ fruity sax breaks) with the lyrics neatly deriding aspects of teenage and/or black ghetto life. |

| | This changed in 1972 when John Allen's Racer opened at Kings Island. | | | People paid $1 to ride up on the incline (motorized track), then the engines were removed, and they were sent back down the main track, with just gravity to push them along. | | | But amidst all this John Allen kept coaster building alive by building small to medium size coasters for small parks. |
