From Hillsborough, North Carolina // From his Bandcamp page: 'Shelton Powe plays in the Piedmont finger-style guitar tradition of his parents and elders, but it took him a long time to get back to that music. Powe was born in 1957 in Charlotte, North Carolina, into a family of gifted instrumentalists, singers and dancers. His mother gave him harmonicas and guitars at Christmas, hoping to awaken a dormant musical aptitude, to no avail. ... ... It wasn’t until the deaths of his mother and father in the late 1980s that Shelton became reacquainted with the rhythms and melodies of the old songs his parents used to sing "
* - A minor hit for The Tams when 1st released in 1968, sometime later in March 1970 it became a somewhat bigger English hit for them. It has since become one of the most popular "Beach Music" songs. // He is from Atlanta, GA - his uncle was Piano Red, known for the song “Doctor Feelgood”

* - initially it was a dismal failure in the US for Armstrong {selling fewer than 1,000 copies}, because Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records, disliked it and refused to promote it.
