71 years young here ... remembering Mother Fletchers when it was directly behind the Pavilion and the rides ... sneaking in with fake ID that you KNOW the door man and the bouncers knew were fake ... and the bartenders ... and a whole lot of awesome memories popping up ...
Summer time by the pool was my passion!!! I grew up 30 minutes from MB. I’d be up and out by 9am every morning. Spend the day with my radio a cold drink a lounge chair and float with my kids and their friends swimming and having the best times of our lives and listening to the best music anywhere. 🩵💜🩷💚💙🩷💚🧡❤️ THE SURF..94’9. still listen!! LYNN. SUN GODDESS ☀️🔥☀️💛🧡
As all parents at times have battles with their older teens. My son (now 52) and I was going thru one and I told him I would apologize for everything, but the music I grew up on and he broke out in laughter. Some years later he called me from Atlanta and turned the music up and told me how much he really liked riding around as a kid with his mom and me listening to this music. We both still love it still listen to it.
Wish I could share this wonderful post with my son [required to listen to oldies dictated by his father (parental abuse per my once then teenage son)]. He's now a guitarist (in his 30's). We still butt heads in our love/hate relationship (funny though, the older our kids get to be, the more they come around to our way of thinking???). Guess it's wisdom seeping in with the inevitable grey hairs. Bless his heart. And as a North Carolinian who also spent her summers in Myrtle Beach, may I say, " 'preciate ya."
I will always love The Embers! Beach is the best music ever. Was anyone else but me at The Pad when the protests were going on one Spring Break? The shot tear gas in the Pad. So guy I didn't know picked me up in his srms and put me out of a window yo escape the tear gas. Po po even had attack dogs. Anyone remember the drink called PJ? It had grain alcohol in it, blinded you, and you ealked around like a zombie! God I miss all the music and dancing in MB and OD. I can still shag dance and love it!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I almost 70, We would sleep in the dunes before it was illegal, go over behind the "Beach Club" I think it was and take a bath and shave in the Little Pee Dee and go to the Pavilion and look at girls and dance....Lord I miss the simplicity and joy of those times.
No group anywhere could have as much impact in any genre of music as the Embers did for Beach Music. This classic Medley just can not be trumped. It combines all the element even a hint of Doo Wop. The classic clean presentation of America's Music, Beach Music, will resound in the Halls of the South for ever. Long live Southern Traditions.
Growing up in Myrtle Beach in the 80's, and my mom in the hotel business, she was friends with the members of The Embers, and I knew every word to this melody since elementary school. SOOOO glad I found it!
I played in the 80’s with Dale Van Horn and Ocean Drive and we spent several years playing all over, we played several shows with the Embers, Band of Oz, Fantastic Shakers, Chairman of the Board, the Tams the Drifters! We would spend at least 6weeks a year in Myrtle Beach! We played 2001 VIP, Spanish Gallion, and others I can’t remember., we also got played several Beach music Festivals with all the good bands! What memories I have to last a lifetime! I’m still playing but in California now! Sure miss the Beach music
I remember you Sandi, maybe not particularly you, but the beautiful girl I spent a week with while vacationing with my parents at myrtle beach as a 16 year old in the 70s,
1967, I worked as a lifeguard at MB for Vernon's Beach Service and at night after a 12 hour day on the Grand Strand and some volleyball at the guardhouse we headed to OD to dance to some of the best music of the time! Seems like only yesterday. The Shag and the Carolina Schuffle, where did you go?
There was a guard down behind the Fun Fair we got to know. His name was Ted. That's all I got. There was another guard near there who went to Francis Marion. Don't remember a name. I do remember Hobby Hucks and a beach ___ named Simon.
Michael Crowe, It is still going strong at North Myrtle Beach every year in the spring and fall with SOS. A whole ten days of shagging at all of the great haunts of so many years. Google - Society of Stranders, N Myrtle Beach as tickets are needed during that time to get into the clubs.
Love this music use to catch all the floor shows from many bands and performers at the Admiral Showroom at the Holiday Inn South OB back in the 70's also got my mail at The Landmark and every now and then I'd let my hair down and hit the Bowery
So many years wasted there is or must really be someone honest left in this world.I have been hurt alot in my life and Hard to trust.. They don't care .I love this song. Going to Beach with my friend and plan to leave the last year behind try have little bit of fun.
Anyone out there remember Camp Pla Mor that was in Ocean Drive? I worked there a couple of summers in 68 and 69. This music has never left me. Sneaking into the Spanish Galleon underage. Great memories listening to this music of that time.
Karen Copley I grew up in Goldsborp, NC. I went to Camp Playmor in the summer of 1957. I was 14 yrs old. I was big for my age and went to the Pad with some of the older boys one night. Had the time of my young life.
Karen Copley our church group went to Camp Play Mor for a retreat in the summer of 72 or 73! WHAT A GREAT TIME! Mullins SC. A summer or 2 later I was going down to Harold's , Pappas and Buddy's Spanish Galleon !
Since 1958 The Embers have given us Great Beach Music.Over the years despite numerous member changes the one constant is Sweet Beach from the days of The Embers club to great festivals all across The Carolina's The Embers continue to give us tremendous memories of The Grand Strand.
You are so right . I don't recognize the beach anymore , they can tear everything down but, they can't erase our memories. I hate that our grandchildren never got to know what really good and safe times that were shared by many,many good people. May God keep us and our memories safe.
1968 Working for Cecil Corbett at his beach club between Myrtle and OD. Pouring those those 50 cent beers and listening to all the guys complain about the high price. Watching em get drunk and taking their gf's back to my apartment.Wish I had those days again. The Jackson 5 played that summer along with Marvin Gaye and the Original Temptations.
I used to go to Embers Club in Raleigh even before I turned 18. Bobby Tomlinson's father would sit at the door and he never checked my ID. I tried to take a date who would pass the test and I was always successful. Once we got the stamp we were home free. Many memorable nights when the Embers were in the house.
Reminds me of my early days at Atlantic Beach at the Embers Club. Fake ID drinking Schlitz beers and shagging and sweating and trying to meet pretty beach girls.

Would you like to shag? Nothing like it.
I'm 68 now
When I listen to this music I remember when summer was this long party!

Ed Griffin and with Craig Woolard singing for them, it aint missing a beat.
Yes
Growing up in Myrtle Beach in the 80's, and my mom in the hotel business, she was friends with the members of The Embers, and I knew every word to this melody since elementary school. SOOOO glad I found it!

Sneaking into Mother Fletcher's when it was behind the Pavallion ... priceless ...

I remember going into Mother Fletcher`s many times. I miss that place. It`s so sad they did away with the Pavallion.
Yes!! Grabbing a late night burger at Peaches watching traffic buzz by on the strip!
Greats times
Should have made the pavilion a historical landmark and kept it there!
beach music is deep in my soul was born hearing all the bands from va. to sc. still dance to them all

I remember seeing and meeting the original Embers back in the sixty's at the Embers club in Atlantic Beach NC
Played at Belvoir Falkland Jr/Sr in 1968. What a fantastic group.

BEST CURE FOR DEPRESSION!! I HOPE OUR KIDS HAVE SOME GREAT MEMORIES LIKE THESE!!! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE PUMP HOUSE AT AB NC?
Pinky's Pump House on A B
My 25 year old daughter knows the words to every beach song I ever listened to.
I used to play the same circuit back in the 80"s and always ran into these guys. We had fun.
The Embers, The Drifters, Clarence Carter, The Temptations, The Beach Boys the 80s beach music I knew
Love it
There isnt any Music that compares too Beach!
the rolling stones have few songs
Your right about that! Great music.

You are so right . I don't recognize the beach anymore , they can tear everything down but, they can't erase our memories.
I hate that our grandchildren never got to know what really good and safe times that were shared by many,many good people.
May God keep us and our memories safe.
