Their collaboration with legendary songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller gave them a unique sound that was very humorous most of the time. Their first huge hit came with "Young Blood" and "Searchin'." They also had success with hits such as "Yakety Yak," "Charlie Brown," and "Little Egypt."
Gardner was still touring with The Coasters as late as 2005, although he is the only surviving original member. Gardner is now semi-retired and has handed the reins over to his son Carl Jr.
In 1987, they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, thus becoming the first group to be inducted (the other inductees at the time were solo acts). In 2000, they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall Of Fame. In 2004, "Young Blood" was #414 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. "Young Blood" and "Yakety Yak" were part of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll. The band's song "Down In Mexico" appears on the new film, Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.

pero me hacia falta escuchar de nuevo
aunque sea un instante tu respiracion.
Perdona si es que estoy violando nuestro juramento
se que estas con alguien que no es el momento
pero hay algo que quiero decirte hoy
estoy muriendo muriendo por verte
agonizando muy lento y muy fuerte
mis ganas de vivir la vida devuelveme el aire
cariño mio
sin ti yo me siento vacio
las tardes son un laberinto y las noches me saben a puro dolor
Vida
devuelveme mis fantasias mis ganas de vivir la vida y
devuelveme el aire
cariño mio
sin ti yo me siento vacio las tardes son un laberinto y las noches me saben a puro dolor ...
hay devuelveme el aire
perdona si te estoy llamando en este momento
pero me hacia falta escuchar de nuevo
aunque sea un instante tu respiracion
Perdona si te estoy llamando en este momento
I apologize if I am calling you at this moment
pero me hacia falta escuchar de nuevo
but I needed to hear your voice again
aunque sea un instante tu respiracion.
even if it´s only for a moment, the sound of your breath
Perdona si es que estoy violando nuestro juramento
I apologize if I am breaking our oath
se que estas con alguien que no es el momento
I know you are with someone else and it´s not the right time
pero hay algo que quiero decirte hoy
but there is something I need to tell you today
estoy muriendo muriendo por verte
I am dying, dying to see you
agonizando muy lento y muy fuerte
slowly and strongly suffering
vida devuelveme mis fantasias
life, give back my fantasies
mis ganas de vivir la vida devuelveme el aire
my desire to live, give back my breath
cariño mio
my love
sin ti yo me siento vacio
without you, I feel empty
las tardes son un laberinto y las noches me saben a puro dolor
the afternoons are a maze and the nights taste like pure pain
Vida
life
devuelveme mis fantasias mis ganas de vivir la vida y
give back my fantasies, my desire to live
devuelveme el aire
give me back my breath
hay devuelveme el aire
oh, give me back my breath
perdona si te estoy llamando en este momento
I apologize if I am calling you at this moment
pero me hacia falta escuchar de nuevo
but I needed to hear your voice again
aunque sea un instante tu respiracion
even if it´s only for a moment, the sound of your breath
