This CD is collection of classic Beach Music favorites featuring some vintage soul music for Northern Soul fans.

notes

Continuing Ripete's classic southern soul series, we move over to New Orleans to spotlight a true icon of Carolina Beach Music and a highly influential artist -- not only in R&B, but also in soul, funk and jazz circles as well. Willie Tee, born Wilson Turbinton, recorded three of the biggest beach tunes of all time, "Thank You John", "Teasin' You" and "Walking Up A One Way Street". All three are included here, from the original master tapes, as well as superb live versions recorded at the 2005 Cammy Awards with splendid backing by The Part Time Party Band. The real chestnuts for collectors and Northern Soul enthusiasts are the rare second tier tunes recorded by Mr. Turbinton -- less known but equally enticing for lovers of superbly performed vintage soul music.
