Nice. Also felt the need to sample "Shortnin' Funk" while I was there.
Good stuff.
Peace,

Hey, THANKS for listening!
THANKS for that Garnet Mimms version! WOW!! Can't get much more soulful than that!
Makes me want to pull out "Tattoo You" and listen to "Worried About You!"
Come to think of it, "Sweethearts Together," from VL, and "Slipping Away" from SW are both genuine Beach Music songs!
Agree 100%, duke. The singer was the afore mentioned Chairman of The Board singing "Give Me Just A Little More Time". They also sang the great "Pay IOt To The Piper".
Can't wait hear your song, Mongoose. You drumming?
"No Anchovies, Please"
GREAT MEMORY ELMO!!! I could hear the sound that Duke was referencing but I just couldn't seem to connect it to the song!
Had so much fun back in 95/96 when one of my bands had the privilege of opening up for Chairmen of the Board at the Palomino club in Greensboro, NC. Although we had a good front man, I'll never forget the look on his face as he watched General Johnson work that room to a frenzy! In hindsight, I wonder if that's what Mick looked like watching JB at the TAMI show all those years ago.
Thanks for completing the memory, y'all!
Peace,
Mr DJA
Yep! Drums, backup vocals, and I wrote the lyrics and melody of the tune.
Not bad for an old man!
Great to hear from you, are you still in south Georgia?
Cheers!
Talk about your favorite band.

The Stones, and Beach Music

If you grew up in the southeast USA in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you are familiar with the term, "Beach Music."
Not the Beach Boys. Light, dance-able soul and R&B songs, such as:
Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters
Miss Grace - The Tymes
A Quiet Place - Garrett Mimms
Hey Baby - The Swingin' Medalions
It Will Stand - The Showmen
Also, tunes by bands like the Tams, the Embers, etc. Usually with horns, great for a summer day out by the waves, memories of Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach, Tybee Island, and more.
On the Stones first album, they covered some Beach Music:
Walking the Dog (Rufus Thomas)
Can I Get a Witness(Holland-Dozier-Holland)
And, of course, Beach Music, Motown, and the Memphis Stax genres are all "cousins" - the Stones, of course, covering:
My Girl
Just My Imagination
(and more...)
Well, my studio band here in Atlanta has just released a Beach Music song, which is sort of "The Tams Meet the Allman Brothers," if you can imagine such a thing!
Like everything else these days, we won't make any money on the tune (unless you count about five dollars worth of streaming. Hey, we can go to BURGER KING!).
But, I'd be honored if fellow Stones fans went to YouTube and gave it a quick spin. Maybe it'll make you want to load up the van with Beach Towels, suntan lotion, and a cooler, and head on out to shore! THANKS!

aw thats good stuff, Mongoose.
Beach Music.. an interesting style/genre...
several decades of it have held up..as they say "it will stand" ...kind of the unofficial beach music motto..
but the dance is the shag.
OK in the UK , thats got a slightly different meaning..
check out this video of the late Chicken Hicks..
he is credited with inventing/popularizing a lot of the dance moves that became known as the shag..

much more to the story, though..

From 1962, one of the songs that started it all:
"It Will Stand" by the Showmen.
Same singer (General Johnson) that sang on the hit, "Give Me Just a Little More Time," by the Chairmen of the Board.
[www.youtube.com]
And, much later, the Embers, "I Love Beach Music"

Mongoose,
the whole Beach Music thing is kind of regional.. I grew up with all those songs you mentioned before..
my favorite was always the Tams..
its interesting how its a dance music of this part of the country, but really its just good old r&b music, Beach or not..
I never did get the dancing down right, I prefer to be playing the music, but there are whole societies and competitions dedicated to the Shag...
now I cant think of that singer who did that thing with his tongue and a sound, brrrrrrrrup up up...
do you know who I mean, and what that song was?

Nice collection of Beach Tunes here!

Since the Stones did a Blues album, maybe they need to do a Beach/Soul album next!
