Hw worked with Spike Jones, Lionel Hampton and Ry Cooder.
He would record some of R&B's fiercest, funkiest solos with the Coasters (nee Robins) -- among them "Youngblood,""Searchin'," "Riot in Cell Block #9" "Down in Mexico" and "Smokey Joe's Café" and with Duane Eddy's on the 1958 hit "Rebel Rouser."
