If You Want to Hear Some Really Good Music, 1967

'Fessa John Hook, the end-all and be-all of Beach Music (and, I'm not talking about Beach Boys or Jan and Dean, but the southeast music played along the coast) has a site worth visiting at beachshag,com.  Go to it and scroll down to Click here to listen.

Once there, you have three great choices to hear a four hour show:  Beach Music Top 40 (Beach Music today), Beach Music Class reunion (Top 40 for a specific year) and Roadhouse Blues, Boogie & Fish Fry (like the title says).

Right now he is playing Beach music for one of my favorite years, 1967.  Some of the songs I know, others I don't.

Some of his songs in the Top 40 from 1967:

TURN TO STONE--  Four Tops
BELL BOTTOM BLUE JEANS--  Sonny Warner
SHE'S THE ONE I LOVE--  Delacardos
CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU--  Frankie Valli
HEAVEN MUST HAVE SENT YOU--  Elgins

TOUGH DON'T BOTHER ME--  Billy Scott & the Georgia Prophets
RAMSHACKLE SHACK--  Tams
SECRET LOVE--  Billy Stewart
BROWN EYED GIRL--  Van Morrison (and he plays part of the banned version)
I'M YOUR PUPPET--  James & Bobby Purify

The #1 song for the year was "39-21-40 Shape."  by the Showmen (General Johnson of the Chairman of the Board).
