Hailing from Charlotte, NC, the Catalinas are a staple of the southeastern coast
"beach music" scene since their formation in 1957. As with any long running group, the band has seen numerous personnel and stylistic changes throughout the years. Since 1965, the group has been headed by a man named Gary Baker whose blue eyed soul influence has driven this particular side into not only one of the key beach music tracks, but yet another one that crossed over into becoming a northern soul favorite in 70's England.
This record resonates as one that makes it easy to close the eyes, listen and imagine a balmy night on the coast, dancing with a lovely southern belle while the waves gently crash in the background. Lovely stuff indeed.
from 1966...
