I was thinking of my dad John today. This song came to mind & realized they’re saying JONES, not John. All this time thought it said John. Dad was slow walking, slow talking. May he RIP. We are blessed & blissed.
The guy in the middle of the three is Earl Carroll. He was lead singer of the Cadillacs, Ie Gloriia, Speedo, Zoom. Earl toured for almost 20 years as one of the Coasters.
Yeah, he replaced the original lead singer. Years later , the original lead rejoined the group for a PBS Do Wop special. However, in 57 and 58, Earl performed only with the Cadillacs. He was also in the Alan Freed movie Go Johnny Go with the Cadillacs.
When I hear this song it reminds me of my best friend Jan when we were growing up. We have been good friends since 1955 and had a ball growing up. The Coasters were one of our favorite groups.
Black music has always been the most influential music. Bravo to all those musicians that would have had to deal with prejudice throughout their life and careers. They defined future music and are still the most influential contributors.
wow. They didn't have a hi hat or any count in to the chorus in the playback tape so they had to wait till AFTER the downbeat to start singing! I never would have thought they'd do that cuz... you can just add a hi hat to the music and know when to come in. Those lead in notes (and then a...) are what makes the chorus so great. This tune is so unusual. Don't make songs even close to the 60s and 70s anymore. People back then CRAFTED the chords, melody, vibe, everything. Back when it was all about the music, not visuals.
@@tacogillespie4561 He does the best he can to keep the Coasters legacy alive. He has a pretty good lineup as far as sound. The Del Vikings appeared on Do Wop 52 and Do Wop Live in the 90s. Their original lead singer was deceased, so his son did the lead on Whispering Bells. He was very good. In all, these Do Wop specials brought back many of the old groups but many original members had passed away. The substitutes did a pretty good job . There are some clips on U Tube.
I had three Coasters LPs: listen to: Zing went the Strings, Run Red Run, Little Egypt, Searching, Poison Ivy, Girls Girls Girls, And of course Yakety Yak ‼️ .... oh too many to mention ....
I grew up in the 80's, my dad always played the Coasters and they played them fairly regularly on the local oldies channel, mainly Charlie Brown, but I would hear this from time to time and thought it was hilarious as a kid! They were on a PBS special in the late 80's we taped and watched over and over again, I thought Posion Ivy was great too.
That's the wonders of the world we live in now. You can look it up on wikipedia, find who did the original then go to youtube or spotify to listen to it.
Just for the purpose of historical perspective. The Coasters started their career several years before Ray Stevens. Along Came Jones was a Coasters hit in the summer of 1959 , Ray Stevens had his first hit 2 years later. In 1969, 10 years after Coasters, Stevens had a hit with Along Came Jones. Coasters and Stevens of course made a career of similar styled songs, arrangements and humor. They were all wonderful to watch in live performances.
I'm 53 and i can't finded this group okay at all okay and I'm 53 okay letting y'all know but i still 😢love listening to this music okay letting y'all know okay goodnight
@@0olong I see what you mean. They were singing live here and lost the tempo after the "And Then" sequence but it came out pretty good except for the ending being cut. The record version is on U Tube and you will hear what they actually meant to say.
Great, it sounds though like they messed up the "ah ah and then along came Jones" All they had to do was count off two "ahs" "Ah ah and then along came Jones"
Years ago, in adolesence, my brother and I had our own version: "And then? He took her shirt off! And then? He took her bra off! And then? He took her pants off! And then? And then? And then?"
Try a new verse, like "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch I'm gonna throw you in the water. He grabbed her, tied her up, threw her in the water, and then the barge started coming."
The old Dupont network was Channel 1 in the 40s. We had an old TV with channel one but there was nothing on it. The next TV we had had channels 2-13 and UHF. There were no channel numbers on the UHF back then.
PC strikes again ! The original recording , last verse : A train started comin' . Great comedy line . Bad grammar , so changed to " A train was coming !" Lost all the effect !
Buck Owens did a much better version of this. It is really funny with his drummer Jerry Wiggins, at the time married to the beautiful Susan Raye, doing the some side voices.
Surely you are kidding. Comparing the Coasters to Buck Owens is a slap in the face of the originals. No one but you probably ever heard Buck Owens' version. I have never heard the second rate Owens' version. He only had 2 hit songs in his life. Act Naturally was one. Tiger in My Tank I think was the other. This is most definitely not a country song. Lieber and Stoller wrote this for the Coasters. Or his other "hit" might have been Tiger By The Tail. I hated his stupid TV show and I left the room when he was on Hee Haw. The only other group that does this song justice is Sha Na Na in a skit on U Tube.
50 years ago we had great music & shitty cameras.
Now we got great cameras.
And thennnn.....
I was thinking of my dad John today. This song came to mind & realized they’re saying JONES, not John. All this time thought it said John. Dad was slow walking, slow talking. May he RIP. We are blessed & blissed.
This is actually a live version and not a lip-sync. Sounds great to me and reminds me of being about 13 years old and just lovin' rock n'roll music.
me too
This is the first time I heard this live And it proves just how great their voices were
Cannot find music like this anymore, the Coasters were very talented group.
Lieber and Stollar wrote their songs. Great combo
Man I liked those guys. We need more of what they had in this world of woe.
Will provide it for you "1858-1858 Top 10 Countdown" All the years are counted down in the Top 100 charts to the Number one. Enjoy
Love the Coasters.
These guys were great!! They did pure novelty songs and gave tem credit!
The "Bass Man" is phenomenal!
The Coasters were the greatest! I'll bet they were Leiber & Stoller's favorites, and they are mine, too.
The guy in the middle of the three is Earl Carroll. He was lead singer of the Cadillacs, Ie Gloriia, Speedo, Zoom. Earl toured for almost 20 years as one of the Coasters.
I thought he looked familiar! Thanks for confirming that.
I wander if they ever performed "Speedo".
@@telliott No.
@@tacogillespie4561 They certainly performed 'Speedo's Back In Town'.
Yeah, he replaced the original lead singer. Years later , the original lead rejoined the group for a PBS Do Wop special. However, in 57 and 58, Earl performed only with the Cadillacs. He was also in the Alan Freed movie Go Johnny Go with the Cadillacs.

Ruthann Brafford What about Jan? No Head No Backstage Pass, Jan? Or is it Ken Jones Jan?
Mine too! You are Ruthanne Tavernia from Yonkers?
Wish Ruthanne would answer this. I'm all intrigued now. Come on, what's the story with Jan or Jans?
Please
These guys were the main act at my college freshman dance Edinboro state collage , Edinboro , Pa .
I always love songs that tell a story you can picture the whole way through
That “slow talking jones” gave me chills lol
Always loved The Coasters as a kid. Had the 45; so long since I heard this actually forgot some of the lyrics, so thanks for this!
When you listen to this song think of the world and the news so true jones may be the lord think about
Try Gary Cooper, Jones is Gary Cooper.
I really have always loved this one- it’s so much fun! A laugh, a giggle, a smile always occurs, every time.
Black music has always been the most influential music. Bravo to all those musicians that would have had to deal with prejudice throughout their life and careers. They defined future music and are still the most influential contributors.
Love this band!
I just heard this on the radio. I've always loved this song. :)
This is one of my favorite songs!
Coasters were so great!!!!
R&b with a country twang. Awesome. Thanks.
This classic song should be featured in the new movie FREE STATE of JONES!!
They played at the NCO club when I was in the army at Ft. Sill in 1968 and they were great.
This kind of happy music is just what we need for the generation of today they are to nervous
Problem solved, eh Karen?
Hadda be after 1961 cause Earl “Speedo” Carol of the Cadillacs is singing with them.
I just watched the movie, "Along Came Jones" on youtube." I saw it many years ago when I was young.
Fun song a good oldie
I get a kick out of these guys....
And then....And then....
Aaa-Aaa!!...
LOLOLOLOL 😅🤣
Staple on my radio show
Watching from Australia
The coasters were great. And so was the music back then.
COOL..THE COASTERS KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED IN R&B👽
BAD ASS, SAW THIS IN SANTA CRUZ 1985, SO SO GOOD,,
Used to sing to this as a kid ❤
Oh man I love ❤️ this!!
The Clown Princes of Rock are still the greatest!
Happy Birthday to Carl Gardner of the Coasters Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

A fun song to listen to!
I remember listening to them since I was 9 years old at the time. Philadelphia phantoms games will NEVER be the same
Excellent!
Music was so innocent and fun in those days..
The constant member throughout the life of the Coasters was Carl Gardner and hes here with this group.
Carl Gardner Jr. now owns rhe rights to the Coasters name and has a performing linup.
@@wesleycook7687 You are right Wesley but he can't put his daddy and Ronnie Bright back up on the stage.
@@tacogillespie4561 He does the best he can to keep the Coasters legacy alive. He has a pretty good lineup as far as sound. The Del Vikings appeared on Do Wop 52 and Do Wop Live in the 90s.

They played this on radio up to 80s

Along came Joe!!! Hahaha 😅
Theses were some singing brothers.
Their songs were so much fun.
But I saw some songs that were serious and they sound so beautiful.
Anche questo disco c'è l'ho ancora
Fine singing. Thanks
Leroy S You need to pay far more money than that miserable comment.
My favorite song written by Lieber and Stoller for the Coasters 😅😅
So funny . Very Nice .
Cute. Song
The best video to the times
Avevo un l p con queste canzoni l ho perso ma ho piacere di averla ascoltata
Peacock Tv Muzik !
You really have to watch that Jones guy!
I always liked this tune .I thought Ray Stevens was the original artist.You learn something new everyday.Thanks for the video.
Catfish Charlie You haven't got a brain
That's the wonders of the world we live in now. You can look it up on wikipedia, find who did the original then go to youtube or spotify to listen to it.
Never heard Ray Stevens version and I don't want to. However, Sha Na Na does a great version of this song in a skit.

Brilliant
fantastico :)))

Crazy.
I have no idea where the thought of this song came from while I was mocking a TV commercial. I like this ditty.
Anton Mortolovan
Cowboy movies-Dastardly Dan
Along Came Jones, a Gary Cooper movie.
#JeffPiegari this is a good song
I'm 53 and i can't finded this group okay at all okay and I'm 53 okay letting y'all know but i still 😢love listening to this music okay letting y'all know okay goodnight
the coasters,para toda la vida..viejo.chau ,me voy bailando.
A real hear row.
bad ass
Along came DON
See Earl Carroll from the Coasters right there!
I agree 100&
SHINDIG!!!!!
Delightful! What happens as they go into the chorus though? It's like instead of 'and then along came Jones' they've just got '-long came Jones'!
The song was inspired by the Gary Cooper movie, Along Came Jones.
@@wesleycook7687 cool, that's not what I was asking though!
@@0olong I see what you mean. They were singing live here and lost the tempo after the "And Then" sequence but it came out pretty good except for the ending being cut. The record version is on U Tube and you will hear what they actually meant to say.
@@wesleycook7687 yeah, I grew up with this record! That's why the lack of 'ah-ah! And then along came Jones' threw me so badly.
and Benny Hill on saxophone!
Questa versione è quella che conosco
Great, it sounds though like they messed up the "ah ah and then along came Jones" All they had to do was count off two "ahs" "Ah ah and then along came Jones"
It's because they're singing to a pre-recorded backing track.
@@peterchecksfield9958 It's live singing. The record sounds different.
And Then.....
Years ago, in adolesence, my brother and I had our own version: "And then? He took her shirt off! And then? He took her bra off! And then? He took her pants off! And then? And then? And then?"
My god I thought they were saying along came John this whole time
Same
Along Came Jones, from the Gary Cooper movie with that title.
They had the Coasters doing some sucker shit !!! They could have had them do Zing went the strings or Brazil but they got them to do this bullshit !!!
The Coasters wanted it like this. Lieber and Stoller wrote the songs, The Coasters took them to the Top 10.
Or "Lola'....or 'Down in Mexico'.
Just go away!
Speedo the Cadillacs in group
I prefer the Ray Stevens version. But I love the bass in this.
Try a new verse, like "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch I'm gonna throw you in the water. He grabbed her, tied her up, threw her in the water, and then the barge started coming."
Why'd they say Channel One instead of Channel Two?
+karim2324 The live broadcast may have been associated with channel two, and so they may have been asked to change it.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COASTERS THATS WHY!~
@@ronroberts1281 3 out of these 4 sang on the record.
The old Dupont network was Channel 1 in the 40s. We had an old TV with channel one but there was nothing on it. The next TV we had had channels 2-13 and UHF. There were no channel numbers on the UHF back then.
CORPSE BRIDE lol
PC strikes again !
The original recording , last verse : A train started comin' . Great comedy line . Bad grammar , so changed to " A train was coming !" Lost all the effect !
En français : ua-cam.com/video/rcUqR7a0WIA/v-deo.html big success
I don't think it was the original lead singer.
I think they were taking liberties with the original melody too, just for variation I suppose.
Buck Owens did a much better version of this. It is really funny with his drummer Jerry Wiggins, at the time married to the beautiful Susan Raye, doing the some side voices.

ONE OF MOST STUPID MORONIC TERRIFICANT SONG WAS EVERY MADE
not the original
I know the bass is Carl Gardner and Earl Carroll is filling in here. The Eh-Eh sounds the same. Maybe it sounds different because it's live.
wrong
hello? right
