BEACH
DEEJAY HALL OF FAME
Submitted by Larry Edwards
The
Beach Deejay Hall of Fame was founded in 1987 and consists of
regular and honorary categories. It is physically located at
Fat
Harold's Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. The next time you enter
Fat Harold’s, look to the left and you will see the Hall of Famer’s
plaques for both categories with their photographs.
The criteria for nomination to either category can be found on the
Association of Beach and Shag Club Deejays’ web site
www.abscdj.com.
There are 36 members in the Regular Deejay Hall of Fame and 26
Honorary Hall of Fame members. These numbers reflect the two new Regular
Hall members and three new Honorary Hall members inducted this year.
Once a year, the living regular Hall of Fame members vote to elect
one or more members to the regular and honorary Hall of Fame. Inductions
are then held at Fat Harold's Beach Club during the annual Deejay
Throwdown.
This year the new Regular Hall of Fame inductees were Tootie Brown
from North Myrtle Beach and Norman Mills from Abbeville, SC. Both of
these men played great music for over twenty years in the Mooresville,
NC before relocating to their current homes.
The Honorary Hall of Fame inductees this year were the Band of Oz,
Charlie Brown from WPCM 920 AM in Burlington, N.C. and the legendary
John R from WLAC radio in Nashville, TN.
Please remember to take a look at the Beach Deejay Hall of Fame
during your next visit to North Myrtle Beach and Fat Harold’s Beach
Club. These are the guys and gals who have kept the music alive for your
dancing and listening enjoyment! |
