If we're talking beach music, this was essential when I was living in Snead's Ferry 69-70.

As was this.

Here's a R&B/beach tune/arrangement I love:

This isn't exactly beach music but you sure would hear it. Sorry for the white people dancing.

Being full of teenage angst, at the time this was a big song for me.

Only got to see him live a couple of times. Talk about exhausted by the end of the show...

I always pondered these measurements:

I saw Jerry Butler back in the day at the Cat's Eye.

He was a member of the Impressions teaming up with Curtis Mayfield before going solo

There's a lot of people unaware of how good a guitarist Mayfield was. I still think the Superfly soundtrack was brilliant.

Jerry Reed was another really good guitarists that a lot of nonmusicians didn't realize.

That was the closer for a lot of high school dances.

Johnnie was a race car driver. Drove so goddamn fast. Never did see that checkered flag, but never did come in last.

Jerry was the race car driver. John was a fisherman

I met a guy several years ago who worked on the "Stay" recording session. He was doing some 8 mm film to DVD transfers for me. He knew Maurice Williams (who died a couple of weeks ago) and said the session was pretty laid-back but professional. No one predicted the song would become the hit that it did.

Piece of trivia about "Stay": it is the shortest single to ever hit #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. It clocks in at a little over 1 and 1/2 minutes.

I didn’t realize there was beach music other than this song:
