Geez, I could have been a little nicer and more welcoming to tom deaton 13 years ago. This was his only post on ILX.
Anyway, inspired by the classic rock poll, I've decided I want to revisit the other music that was prevalent in my younger years. I obviously had some issues with it as a 21 year old, as seen above. So I'd like to see how almost the 35 year old me feels about it. Will report back.

How would you describe this stuff? Is it like bluegrass meets Jimmy Buffet?
If only.

Seems like the core Carolina beach music canon is a subset of classic 50s R&B
public shagging competitions likely to confuse UK ILMers

This is some bizarre U.S. inversion of the northern soul phenomenon

Shagging to Sixty Minute Man by Billy Ward and the Dominos ... Those were simpler times.

a long time ago I was in NC on vacation and went to some crazy vintage record shop, they had tons of this stuff, almost all on 45. they also had singles by, like, The Parliaments and such, expensive things even back then.

Maryland southern soul band the Hardway Connection, whom I have mentioned on the Chitlin Circuit thread, are popular down South with the beach music crowd. They get played on the surf radio in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, I have read and been told.

This was the default music for fraternity/sorority social functions at the University of Georgia in the late 70s and early 80s, which did not endear it to me at the time ... the cultural appropriation feels creepier to me than northern soul, because the audience is preppy white southerners, but the music is undeniable

when I was in high school I did a thing on the arts section of the local paper and 50% of the job was interviewing people about beach music
