Frank Phillips, Jr. 
      American pop singer (b. June 20, 1936, Itasca, Texas—d. Nov. 12, 2002, Las Vegas, Nev.), was one of the original members of the Coasters, a rock and roll group popular in the late 1950s. A baritone, he sang the lead on one of the quartet's biggest hits, “Searchin'” (1957), about looking for love. He also wrote some of the songs the group performed. He later tried a solo career, but met with mixed success, and in the 1980s he participated in reunion performances of the Coasters.
