Some Chairmen of the Board Beach Music Hits
Taken from the list of songs on their anthology double CD. These are songs Beach Music fans are very familiar with as they are played in clubs, at concerts and on Beach Music radio all the time. As I mentioned in yesterday's post about leader General Johnson dying in 2010, North Myrtle Beach's The Surf, 94.9 FM was playing "Gone Fishin'" as I was typing the obituary.
CHAIRMAN SONGS:
On the Beach
Gone Fishin'
Carolina Girls
Lover Boy
I Wanna Doop Doop Doop
Beach Fever
Shaggin' the Night Away
If It Ain't One Thing It's Another
Down At the Beach Club
I'd Rather Be in Carolina
39-21-40 Shape.
And, these were just some of their hits. By the way, shaggin' refers to the style of dance that Beach Music fans dance to.
Something I didn't know was that he founded Surfside Records, an independent record label out of Charlotte, NC. This was one of the first Beach Music labels which gets the music out to the masses.
