The Original Cornell Gunter’s Coasters
If you enjoy classic Rock 'n' Roll and Harmonic Ballads from the ‘50s and ‘60s, there are few singing groups around that can fit the bill.
Cornell Gunter’s Coasters is such a group.
During the Coasters' heyday, they had a string of rhythm & blues hits that were generously seasoned with humor and sung in an infectious, up-tempo doo-**** style. Because of this, they sold more than 130 million records and secured their place in the
Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
They ranked one of the most popular musical groups in America, having carved out a legacy for themselves as purveyors of riotously funny and socially incisive rock and roll records. These days the trio has been reconstituted and is comprised of
Charlie Duncan, Lionel “Z” Pope and Tony Scruggs
Their concert typically starts with some humorous Coasters classics, such as Love Potion Number Nine, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, Young Blood, Poison Ivy and the beloved Charlie Brown. Such diverse artists as Little Anthony & The Imperials, Lou Rawls and Brook Benton, not to mention an eclectic tribute to Luther Vandross, originated other tunes on their play list.
While the trio sings, they clown around with the audience and each other. They also perform some fancy footwork. Their well-paced choreography keeps to the accompanying beat played out by their live band.
. For the “Charlie Brown“ number, the line “Why is everybody always pickin’ on me?” is joined in by several out loud.
The smooth sound of Cornell Gunter’s Coasters will fill any room with a show that combines value, high energy and passion you won’t find anywhere else!
Vigorous stage presence, a broad appeal to their audience
