Veta Gardner sits down with Music Charts Magazine® and talks with us about her late husband Carl Gardner. Carl’s life and his career with “The Robins” followed by “The Coasters” is a timeless part of music history. We hope you enjoy this audio interview as much as we enjoyed doing it. Veta is owner of “The Coasters” name. She manages as well as books the current members of The Coasters. Veta Gardner has written and published books including “Yakety Yak I Fought Back” and “Beyond The Dream”. Veta Gardner’s newest book “Memories of You” is now available on Amazon. With a heart full of love and laughter, Veta is a wonderful lady to speak with.
The Coasters are a doo-wop group that started in October 1955. The original members of the Coasters were Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Bobby Nunn, Leon Hughes (who was replaced by Young Jessie on a couple of their early Los Angeles recordings), and guitarist Adolph Jacobs. Jacobs left the group in 1959. The Coasters’ were formed out of the group The Robins, a Los Angeles based rhythm and blues group, which included Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn.
The songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller had started Spark Records, and in 1955 produced “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” for the Robins (their 5th single with Leiber-Stoller). The record was popular enough for Atlantic Records to offer Leiber and Stoller an independent production contract to produce the Robins for the Atlantic label. Only two of the Robins—Gardner and Nunn—were willing to make the move to Atlantic, recording their first songs in the same studio as the Robins had done (Master Recorders). In late 1957 the group moved to New York and replaced Nunn and Hughes with Cornell Gunter and Will “Dub” Jones. The new quartet was from then on stationed in New York (although all had Los Angeles roots).
The Coasters’ association with Leiber and Stoller was an immediate success. Together they created a string of good-humored “storytelling” hits that are some of the most entertaining from the original era of rock and roll. Their first single, “Down in Mexico,” was an R&B hit in 1956 and appears (in a re-recording from 1970—still with Gardner singing the lead) on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof. The following year, The Coasters crossed over to the national charts in a big way with the double-sided “Young Blood”/”Searchin’.” “Searchin'” was the group’s first U.S. Top 10 hit, and topped the R&B charts for 13 weeks, becoming the biggest R&B single of 1957 (all these were recorded in Los Angeles).
“Yakety Yak” (recorded in New York), featuring King Curtis on tenor saxophone, included the famous lineup of Gardner, Guy, Jones, and Gunter, became the act’s only national #1 single, and also topped the R&B chart. The next single, “Charlie Brown,” reached #2 on both charts. This was followed by “Along Came Jones,” “Poison Ivy” (#1 for a month on the R&B chart), and “Little Egypt (Ying-Yang).”

Whether listening to her mom sing as she wrote songs on the piano, watching her dad play guitar or hearing 
countless stories of her parents’ life on the road as musicians, music filled the walls of their home and was an integral part of Morgan Tobias’s childhood. She’s never had a doubt that music is in her blood. “Growing up, being an only child, music was my best friend. It’s what I turned to an...d was kind of like the big brother or sister that I never had.” Michelle Branch, Alison Krauss, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, LeAnn Rimes, Alanis Morissette and Bryan Adams were a few of her favorites. Not unlike many young singers, Morgan remembers her first performances from a church stage. Fast forward to playing in a band through early high school and eventually going solo in coffee houses and pubs during her senior year. Graced with a natural beauty, a fortunate introduction led her to a modeling career and Morgan appeared on the covers of fashion magazines in Europe and Canada as a successful hair model.
Knowing a bold move from her childhood home of London, Ontario was needed; Morgan made the commitment to relocate to Nashville in late 2009. After being introduced and taken around the famed Music Row, she signed with Big Country Records in early 2011. “I feel that working in country music is where I belong because I enjoy writing about real life and the emotions that we all go through. I remember the first song I ever wrote was when my dog died”. Hundreds of songs later, her most recent effort is a co-write with hit songwriters James Slater and Erik Dylan called Last Song. “Thinking about the legacy you leave behind and living every moment like it could be your last, is what the song is about. That’s also how I want to live my life”.
In early 2013 Morgan packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles. “I originally came out here to expand my sound - working with a few writer friends and producers. But I fell in love with the ocean and the people out here and had 
this overwhelming feeling that this is where I’m supposed to be. So I stayed. It’s where I’m inspired”. She recently made top 16 in the Girls category on the latest season of X Factor after getting 4 yeses from the judges. And currently she’s in the studio writing and recording in preparation for a debut release.
On the occasional time off, you might find this dedicated 24 year old on the beach for a day of surfing, baking in the kitchen, hiking with her Great Dane or simply visiting one of her favorite coffee shops. But Morgan’s life in music is also her joy. “I’ve just always known that music is what I want to do, I’ve never had a plan B”.
