"Searchin'" is a song written by #JerryLeiberAndMikeStoller specifically for #theCoasters. #AtcoRecords released it as a #single in March 1957, which topped the #RAndBChart for twelve weeks. It also reached number three on the Billboard singles chart. Although the Coasters had previously done well on the R&B charts, it was "Searchin'" (along with "#YoungBlood" on the flip side) that sparked the group's #rockAndRoll fame.
