Hi Friends,

Are any of you folks familiar with the term "Carolina Beach Music"? Lot's of soul by artists like Clifford Curry, Maurice Williams, General Johnson and Chairman of the Board, Clovers, Ravens, Steve Jarrell & the Sons of the Beach and etc.

All of that, and lots and LOTS of shagging!

.

This is a topic that pops up occasionally here on Soul Source. There's definitely a bit of crossover interest between the beach and northern scenes musically.

Hi Steve.

Welcome to Soul Source, some of us have the excellent book, Hey Baaby Days Of Beach by Greg Haynes. Too big for the book case, lives in front of my decks!!

Great music, great dancing, same dodgy trousers

Posted this before & normally get asked who it is & it's Al Green - Give It Everything from 1993

Hello Chalky,

You are right about the "Hey Baby Days" book being so large. A friend of mine described it as a coffee table book bigger than the coffee table. I saw Greg Haynes last week. We did a show with Bruce Channel and Greg came and presented Bruce with the book.

Love me Carolinas Soul..........too many to list, but many have become classics on the NS scene.........when ever i see this clip tho', whilst technically great, its missing any 'soul' or emotion, a little contrived maybe, you still cant beat a hot sweaty dance floor at a Nighter.........

I used to live in Raleigh North Carolina where there was plaenty of shagging going on. A lot of music on the "Oldies" station was introduced as Beach Music. First heard Saturday Night by Thelma Houston introduced as a great song to shag to......

I wanted to share this with you friends. Clifford Curry and I recorded it together in 1992. It was a good shag record for us and I was honored the he asked me to record it with him. The song is "Two Soul Brothers" backed with a song called "Just Drifting Along", a tribute to our late friend Bill Pinkney.

Regards,

Steve
