Shaggin' On The Beach 2

Here's part 2 of my Shaggin' pick. I actually made them both at the same time, making sure I had most all my favorites on these two. Finally, I got to play in the Carolina's and I played a bunch of these tracks. They actually go over pretty much everywhere, just not as Beach music or Shag or even as Carolina beach. Just great tracks to dance to. Probably that's sacrilegious talk in a Carolina Beach club, but I'm not from there. I'll dance to whatever it's called. This is the last one for awhile, so if you find your favorite song is missing, make sure to post it in the comments, because I probably have no clue.

Shaggin' On The Beach 1

Coming from California, I knew beach music as Surf music. Beach Boys, The Ventures, Surfari's, etc. and then later various surf punk bands. I was surprised to find that there was a complete other side to Beach Music: Shaggin'. Or Carolina Beach Music. I always thought of this as R&B. The more I looked in to it, the more I liked it. And the more other stuff I found that I had no real idea about (like Belgian Popcorn and Northern Soul) which I will post here later. First, this is my pick of Carolina Beach Music, or music you can Shag to. I would guess there are millions of other choices out there (and I will post a few more tomorrow), so if I miss a few of your favorites (or you think one of these doesn't cut it) leave me a comment and let me know.
