Hey Dan! I had fun researching this one.

The Southwest coastal and tidewater region had their "beach music" which consisted of mostly soul and R&B artists. A lot were major artists but not necessarily national hits. All were first rate for the hazy summer dancin' the shag on the beach. A great soul side genre!

Southeast coastal region rather.

The Tams from Georgia were part of the SE beach scene, I believe. Thanks for reminding me of that regional style.

Oh man! Iโll bet itโs been since 1975 since I last heard โHow Longโ! I had totally forgotten about this mid-70s hit! Great to hear it again!
