@jimbrown257 I was providing this info here for coolcatcc99 because I was confused about who did this, The Robins or The Coasters, so I looked it up! I had just heard it in a movie, I forget which one!

I was expecting this video to have a lot more hits from the last week considering Jerry Leiber recently died and this was the first song mentioned in his obituary in Rolling Stone.

The Robins, an LA R&B group including Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn, later became The Coasters.The songwriting team, Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, had started Spark Records, and in 1955 produced their 5th single with The Robins, Smokey Joe's Cafe. The record's popularity caused Atlantic Records to offer Leiber & Stoller an independent production contract to produce the Robins for the Atlantic label. Only two of the Robins—Gardner and Nunn—were willing to move to Atlantic. Ipso facto, The Coasters.

driving around in the late 50's with the top down, listening to George Lorenz, The Houndog of Buffalo's WKBW play this king of music and introduce us white kids to early rock and roll and the blues. Great times and great memories.
