February 1, 1957: Atlantic releases
 The Coasters’  "Youngblood"



 


Backed with "Searchin"…


 


  Both tunes were written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (the cats who wrote HOUND DOG for Big Mama Thorton)…

.

“Youngblood”/”Searchin” was on the charts for most of the year…

 Leiber and Stoller went on to produce and record numerous hits by the Coasters and other Atlantic artists such as the Drifters, Ben E. King and LaVern Baker …
