Coasters: The Very Best of the Coasters
Genre: Rhythm and Blues	Dates: 1954-1960

At the dawn of the rock and roll era, two Jews (Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who wrote "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog," two hits you might know) and an ace black vocal group teamed up to deliver classic novelties that often-concealed but incisive commentary on racial, social, and generational barriers—the first protest songs to make the pop chart!
