'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).
