Beach Music

SUff Writer . . ,..,, ,
Beach music hard core rock-and-rollers disdain it, most
Northerners have never heard of it and UN C f ratty-baggers
couldn't do without it.
Beach music is a form of music difficult to describe or define.
Most enthusiasts claim it's a Southeastern phenomenon that
grew up on Virginia and Carolina beaches in the early 1960s and
seems to find its origins in rhythm and blues.
It was music by black bands which appealed to a white
audience," said Patrick Nicholson, an avowed fan.
Most beach songs revolve around several basic themes
young love, romance at the beach, boy meets girl, boy loses girl
and boy wants girl back. Simplicity is part of its appeal.
"It doesn't attempt to convey a message other than just
enjoying life it reminds you of good times," senior from
Carolina Manley Roberts said. "It's also good to dance to."
Bill Heisal, former social chairman for Chi Psi fraternity,
agreed. "People really enjoy dancing to beach music. Not many
people around the fraternity listen to it, and quite a few complain
about it, but when it's playing at a mixer, most of them are out on
the floor dancing." Heisal said the demand for beach music has
increased in the last few years.
Robert Brooks, a major organizer of the Jaycees' Third
Annual Beach Music Convention in Raleigh last weekend, said
beach music is most popular with people like him who went to
college in the '60s.
"I haven't bought a record in 10 years that wasn't beach
music," Brooks said. "I like it because I can understand the words
and the instrumentation, and it's a good sound to dance to. I
don't understand the music they play today."
Brooks said he feels the current popularity of beach music on
college campuses is a fad that goes along with wearing khakis and
Bass Weejuns. He also connected it with the disco craze and the
revival of touch dancing. "Disco is really just beach music
speeded up, and the shag and hustle are a faster bop with more
tunes."
Beach music's popularity is undeniable. More than 8,000
people attended the Raleigh festival, and Carowinds is
sponsoring another extravaganza this weekend. Brooks claims
the Raleigh Jaycees stimulated the current rash of beach
festivals.
"Our convention in 1977 was the first time five or six bands
played beach music at one single event it was the first

Beach music is a distinct Southeastern
sound that is especially popular on
college campuses and at Carolina
beaches.
Tunes such as the Drifters' "U p On The
Roof" and "Under The Boardwalk" and
The Embers' current chart hit "I Love
Beach Music" are typical of the beach
music sound.
Other beach music favorites that will
be heard this weekend are "Give Me Just
A Little More Time" and "You've Got
Me Dangling On A String" by The
Chairmen of The Board; and "Stay",
