He started out as a songwriter and before hitting it big with another of his own compositions, "Splish Splash", wrote songs that were recorded by artists such as Connie Francis and the Coasters. I had a musician try I similar snow job on me not too long ago. I was in Las Vegas listening to a piano player in a hotel bar. I'm a big Bobby Darin fan and I had requested one of his songs. We got to talking and he said, "You know, I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just like Bobby Darin." Then he went on to say that he was an original member of The Coasters and that he knew Bobby Darin and had toured with him in one of Dick Clark's rock and roll shows. All of this had a vague ring of truth to it, but, like you, I'm a Doubting Thomas, so when I got home, I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website and found that the Coasters are in the Hall of Fame, but this guy was not one of them!Laura Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247502076415552976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-43750537682751090962009-01-18T18:44:00.000-07:002009-01-18T18:44:00.000-07:00What a funny story!What a funny story!Barbara and Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950659270754642037noreply@blogger.com
