Darlin' that was an immediate hit and zoomed to the top of the
charts. Other successful tunes followed - Stay, a Number One
in 1960, I Remember and the acclaimed classic May I. |

Swingin'
Medallions
Sponsored by BB&T |
$30.00 |
$25.00 |

The
Swingin' Medallions have been based out of Greenwood, SC.
Their musical roots came from listening to the early rhythm and blues
acts. The music most often associated with the band is beach music,
frat rock, R&B, or shaggin' music. After a few years of touring
colleges from the Carolinas to the Louisiana Bayou, John McElrath took the
group to Arthur Smith's Studio in Charlotte, North Carolina to record Double
Shot (of My Baby's Love). The song became a million seller in
1966, and has been a party classic for college students for decades.
She Drives Me Out Of My Mind and Hey, Hey, Baby were top 40
hits in 1966 and 1967, but Double Shot remains the signature song
of the Swingin' Medallions. Lewis Grizzard wrote in 1993 article
that, "Even today, when I hear the Swingin' Medallions sing Double
Shot, It makes me want to stand outside in the hot sun with a
milkshake cup full of beer in one hand and a slightly-drenched
nineteen-year-old coed in the other." |

American
"soul" singer and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alumnus Ben E.
King possesses one of the most elegant baritone voices ever. His
impression on the musical landscape is so indelible that an optimum
barometer has been set for countless aspiring performers. He is
perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of Stand by Me, a
U.S. Top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1986 and a #1 hit in the UK in 1987, and
as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The
Drifters. From a youngster in Harlem to an embraceable solo
artist, Ben E. King's contributions to the pop music spectrum are
incalculable. |
