GENERAL NORMAN JOHNSON, 69
Beach Music Loses a Great One
I was sad to hear one of my favorite performers has died. he was a member of the Showmen who gave us that great "It Will Stand" song (which Bob Stroud uses in the intro to his Rock and Roll Roots radio show on WDRV in Chicago), and was the leader of the Chairmen of the Board from the 1970s to the present.
That band formed in Detroit and had hots with "Give Me Just A Little More Time," "You've Got Me Dangling from a String," and "Everything is Tuesday."
Then, the group moved to Atlanta and became a mainstay on the Beach music circuit with songs like "Carolina Girls," and "Down at the Beach Club."
There were lots of messages about his passing on the Carolina Beach Music e-mail Yahoo group.
More to Come.
