My first assignment in the AF(1979-82) was Myrtle Beach, sadly it is gone also. So this song really means a lot and takes me back every time I hear it

This song makes me miss myrtle beach the way it used to be i live here and most of the stuff in those pics is gone like the pavilion they tore it down a years ago and most of the bars and clubs have closed down the only one that don't play crappy rap on the blvd is the Bowery. I wish all those greedy old yanks would stay out of the south cause all they want is money which is way theres more condos and giant luxury hotels then there is beach now days they would build in the ocean if they could!

@Bubba167712 LOL I don't know about the shag being the best dance part but...yeah if you don't go to Myrtle Beach you can't understand the greatness of this song.

@Bubba167712 its a shame the pavilions gone. it seems like a ghost town now.

This one surely does bring back fantastic memories - a completely different world then and absolutely the best of times. Ah, sweet youth, shagging with someone you were crazy in love with it. Kissing on the beach, holding hands. It is just a feeling you have in your heart and soul and it become a part of you - like genetic encoding. Love it!! Thank you for a fantastic post.
Man i get chills everytime i hear this song. Anyone not from Carolina can never know or encompass what ALabama sings about in this song. I mean it's more than a tourist locale. It's just a whole other kinda mindset. It is sucha great place and I miss it so friggin much! And shaggin IS, HAS BEEN, AND EVER WILL remain the BEST DANCE EVER!!!!!

@Bubba167712 I feel you my man! I remember being sooo drunk one night at the Fat Jacks & the bouncer took me in the back and told me to lay down-called a cab and then payed for it. Only in the Carolinas!!!!

I spent a lot of time at Myrtle Beach in the early 1960's. Remember " Ben C Lae" &
the Continental Hotel ? The Pavillion ? Sun Fun ? mom & pop motels? sun burned legs & back....I guess now, too much change...nothin' lasts forever !
