concert featuring Cornell Gunter's Coasters, the Platters and the Marvelettes on Thursday, September 17 at

Orignial Cbmell Gunter's Cbasters.
Cbmell Gunter was a member of
the legendary group The Cbasters
from 1958 to 1961 alongwith Cad
Gardner, Billy Guy and Will "Dub"
J ones. The group ranked as one of
the most popular groups in
America and was the first vocal
group to be inducted into the Rock
N Roll Hall of Fame. With a string
of hits such as "Charlie Brown, "
"Searchin1," "Youngblood," "Yakety
Yak," "Love Potion No. 9," and
"Little Egypt" just to name a few,
the group had a profound impact
on early Rock-N-Roll and their
music resonates with young and old alike.

In 1962 Gunter departed the Coasters and in 1963 formed his own group, Cbmell Gunter's Coasters until
his untimely death in 1990. Upon Cbmell 's death, Charlie D, who in 1963 joined Cornell and shortly after
became one of his Cbasters and sang with him for many years, vowed to carry on the tradition of excel¬
lence he shared with Gunter and subsequently won the right to continue to use the name Cornell Gunter's
Cbasters Inc. and have performed non-stop since then.

The group weaves together a high- energy night of entertainment as they perform all the favorite hits from
the golden years of Rock- N- Roll while making your laugh with their feel-good shtick The Coasters' upbeat
music and positive energy make everyone have a good time. It doesn't matter if you don't know the words,
or remember the songs - the band will make you part of its show.
Teaming up with thr Coasters are legendary Motown hit- makers the Platters and the Marvelettes.
Together these groups offer a blast from the past that will have you out of your seat and dancing in the
aisles.
The Platters will roll out their sweet ballads. "Twilight Time," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and"OnlyYou"
as the perfect contrast to up beat, energetic Coasters. Lead vocalist Derek David shines in belting out these
hits, backed up by Curtis Bridgeforth, Arnold Parker and Kristy Brooks (who has ties to the original band).
The Platters allow the audience to be caught up in their tender melodies in an understated performance.
The Marvelettes were Motown 's first group to have a No. 1 song on the Billboard charts, and when they
hit the stage, they bring the magic back to life again with their hit single, 'Please Mr. Postman. ” Their soul¬
ful stage presence and charisma inspires the audience with toe- topping, hand- clapping tunes.
