Led by the incredibly powerful vocals of Atlanta native General Johnson, The Showmen scored one national hit with their debut single (the anthemic "It will Stand", which hit the charts twice- once in '61 then again in '64). The music of the Showmen played a very important role in the "beach music" craze of the Carolina coast.
This equally transcendent number was the followup single to "It Will Stand", and it's not difficult to imagine the image of college kids dressed in their finest 1962 casual wear dancing in the ocean breeze, lit by the moon to this track.
from 1962...
