Slim Harpo was also a huge star on Excello with Baby Scratch my Back,Remember in 1972 when Bobby Womack re released this as a solo artist on United artist records

One of the grandest of Grand Strand Greats,Along with Aint no big thing Two of the best out of the Beach Music Hall Of Fame

This was written by the front man of THE RADIANTS Maurice McCallister who gave us a monster hit called Voice Your Choice.

This song is Legendary at Fenway park in Boston.During The Red Sox baseball season this as well as Sweet Caroline get played at all 81 regular season home games and 35 thousand plus sing along with this every game.

Originally released on Musicorin 1966 as the Music Machine also later released as The Boniwell Music Machine as well as a solo act Sean Boniwell.The song shows up today on varied Hot Talk radio stations which use the Talk Talk bed while showcasing their talk show host.

Another extreme talented Chicago band that never really got all the airplay they truly deserved.

Looka here,Looka here..This was the version that was hitbound to happen and did just that at THE BIG 8 CKLW in 1969.Met Wilbert in his latter yeaes at The VA Hospital in Salisbury,N.C.where he lived until his passing RIP WILBERT..

The late great Wilbert Harriso passed away at the V A Hospital in Salisbury,N.C. a few years ago.I have an original 45 of this on Fury records plus I played Lets Work Together as a Boss Hitbound long before Canned Heat gave us the cover version.I had some interesting conversatons with Wilbert on ...

Nothing better than taking a trip to Thunder Island,Going thru the Fresh Garbage and reminiscing about one of the greatest albums ever on ODE records.It's Spirit and I know you gotta hear it because I Got A line on You Babe.I remember playing all three of the above mentioned plus Jo Jo Gunne Run ...

Bruce Morrow live on Musicradio 77 WABC what a great show from Palisades Park.Did Chuck Barris take the money he made from writing this and put it into The Gong Show years later How about this being the signature song from Freddie Boom Boom Cannon,and while were talking amusment parks how about C...

This actually was released on Metromedia records in 1969 and believe it or not we actually played the full version which is'nt here with the Apollo countdown ending from Bobby Dimple.

This actually got limited beach music play when it was initially released here along Grand Strand.This song is beggin to be re released.

Although ELVIS never recorded this you could hear the instrumental riff in all his concerts as he used this to introduce the band.Check out Elvis footage and see what I mean.

This was and continues to be an incredible shag song in the world of beach music.Absolutely no airplay but tons of club play from numerous bech music clubs.

The Texas band with the British name.Doug Sahn and company rivaled any and all of The British invasion bands and this was their Best !!

Originally released on Musicor and yet years later this song continues to get Huge airplay on Juke Boxes along the Grand Strand and Crystal Coast in the Carolina,s.Truly a Giant song in the Beach Music Hall of fame One of those great Motor city songs just like The Shades of Blue Oh How Happy that...

Rock and Roll heaven with the Golden O and his two first ladies,Claudette and Barbara RIP

Always wondered if Joe Butler,Steve Boone and John Sebastian were playing background on this.Played this as a hitbound for a couple of weeks when it came out.Hitbound to Happen never Happend.

Originally released by Vince Guaraldi in late 193 earl 1964 British group The Sounds Orchestral released this version on the Philly based label Cameo-Parkway,The Silkie also gave us a vocal version on Fontana records in 1965,,,The Shanman!

This is a true Chubby Checker classic that's almost forgotten.One of the Best of late 1961 early 1962 from the Cameo Parkway stable.What a ride from Andrews South Carolina to Philly for the guy who supposedly paid Hank Ballard to take his name off the label as the writer and the first to record T...

Wanda did a great version but it cannot touch the Elvis Aron version That's why he is still The King.

Ernie K.Doe Ta te ta Ta what a great song to put behind this,Brings back thoughts of the old Tiger radio 1520 gone but not forgotten on the Sun Coast and even down to the low country,

Lady Ga Ga would truly go Gaga over this from The British Drifters.GREAT shag beat 1,2,3 kick .

This still remains one of the true forgotten classic Beach songs,Heard it at S.O.S.(Society of Stranders)a few weeks back in Ocean Drive North Myrtle Beach the true cradle of Beach Music where The Shag was born !!!

Cannot decide which I like better Daddys Home or James Shep Shepard and The Heartbeats a Thousand miles away Same group different name,Both are true doo wop classics...

Billy Barbara & Janet collectively The Georgia Prophets..True Classic Hot Wax a Grand Strand Great that still gets a ton of play along the grand strand and crystal coast.

One of the all time grand strand greats right out of the Beach music Hall of Fame.California is calling me still my all time Billy Scott and The Georgia Prophets Favorite.

Gotta love this one of Elvis Aron,s best Note the sunglasses on the guitar player at the one minute mark and then later in the Jailhouse video.I wonder aboutthe editing on this one...The Shanman

If I had to list my alltime favorite Ral Donner this would be up at the top of the charts where the air is rare.Four straight hits in the early sixties.The Girl of my best friend,You dont know what you've Got,To love somebody and of course She's Everything really established Ral and I got Burned ...

This is and continues to be the absolute best version of this song.No offense to Jimmy Radcliffe fans but look which one pulled the most airplay,chart action and Juke box play and not to mention gets airplay on Oldies radio today...The Shanman!

Still love the mainstream version of this by The Walker Brothers even though it is not nearly as soulful.By the way The Original This Diamond ring was by Sammy Ambrose on Musicor not the Drifters...TheShanman!!

@tommieparch The reason it didnt show up on Greatest hits as I Got Burned was released on Reprise records in 1963.Tommy Shannon of WKBW in Buffalo played this for over a week without telling anyone who it was and of course everybody thought it was Elvis.When it became the K Big Record of the week...

King George Michael was the absolute best and I will always thank him for taking a fledging young disc jockey in the mid1960.s and showing how to do Pace radio.George Gimpel was tge Best from WFIL to WABC replacing Cousin Brucie and on to Islanders hockey before becomig an innovative sports legen...

Sky saxon memory will linger on for a long time in the History of rock and roll and I am sure he is part of a great rock band in heaven,Sky thanx for those great memories..

One of the greatest of the greats from The Big 8 CKLW where it was started and Charter,The closest thing to CKLW today is K Earth 101 in Los Angeles,Maybe one day the so called 21st century genius programmers of cookie cutter format radio will ask 60,s and 70,s BOSS JOCKS how radio should be done !!

The Batman promo sounds like it came right off of CKLW TV channel 9.Little Willie John continues to be huge in the Beach Music Genre.I really love the Wurlitzer organ in this.This and Fever are each better than the other...

The old King 78 is as incredible as Little Willie John both Fever and Sleep are each better than the other.Two of the all time Great R&b Classics!

Sharon,I like you and your sister miss Bob and when I see a certain Corvette it reminds me of the guy who entertained me on WMGM,WINS,WABC,WABC FM,WNEW FM as well as WCBSFM in New York and what a talented voice over guy the pre med student turned disc jockey tha Robert Louis Swartzman was...

Actually the car could be eitther a 58 Buick or 58 Cadillac as the body stlyes were almost identical....This is so reminiscent of the late Bob Lewis theme song in New York city radio who left us much to early at the age of 49 in 1987,,R I P Robert Lewis Swartzman Bob A Loo !

Still think it sounds like Harvey Fuqua and The Moonglows,A true forgotten DOO WOP song

Those O B G,s remind me of you,A great alternate version that I heard on Norn N Nite,s SiriusXX Saturday show recently.I love the alternate version even though it's not the Standard of Little Caesar and The Romans...Great Post and remember DOO WOP is truly non stop!!!

This is true classic doo wop,I can almost hear Murray The K introducing this on 1010 WINS,New York.Gotta love the sax solo...

Jan Berry and Arnie Ginsburg originally did Jennie Lee,I am wondering if this is the guy who went on to be a top 40 jock Arnie Woo woo Ginsburg?
