Can someone define "Beach Music"? I understand that Beach Music was music recorded in the middle to late 1950's and 1960's that was played in North or South Carolina while people attended beach parties....of the time.

The genre of this music was music recorded dominantly by African American musicians.

A Beach Music online site defines Beach Music this way:




WHAT IS BEACH MUSIC?
Beach Music (b?ch my???z?k) n. - music style made popular in the Carolinas, it combines many styles that may include but are not limited to Rhythm and Blues, Soul Music, and a little bit of Disco. Basically anything you can "Shag" to (The Shag, or Carolina Shag, is a dance style that has been around almost forever. We are not referring to the slang term made popular by a major movie personality portraying a British spy from the 60's).

Can anyone list any significant artists that contributed to the development of this genre of music?
