Thumbs down...not then original...Sha Na Na could do better than these impostors...blame the WMG for keeping the real Atlantic recordings off of youtube
@baldur1377 No,you can hear the quality of the track and the instrumentation was recorded later than the 50's and I used to play guitar for them and the Lead singer is NOT Billy Guy.
it was recorded in '57 but this is not that version. Probably a re-record for legal reasons to be used on a mix disc. The drums are in stereo in this version, which would have been odd for a song in the fifties (maybe impossible?) Still great song though. I think the original is on here which is even better.
If you want the cover to "Searchin" you can find it on the Cheech & Chong "Up In Smoke" soundtrack i bought it a few years ago and all the songs that are on the movie are also on the soundtrack
In search of the miraculous.

There were so many great songs during the 50's and 60's. It is great that we can listen to
them again on "You Tube".

I did a little checking, Searchin was
written by Leiber and Stoller for the
Coasters. It was recorded by ATCO
on a 45. Was on the R&B chart for
l2 weeks and number 3 on the Pop
Chart. The flip was "Young Blood".
It was recorded in March l957
