Not only that, but many of the beach music standards keep coming back to the pop charts in new versions. (One good example is the current hit version of "This Old Heart of Mine" by Rod Stewart and Ron Isley.) Similarly, while the record stores in Roanoke may only carry a few compilations designated as beach music, I doubt there are any record shops in Southwest Virginia that don't stock "greatest hits" collections by such beach music mainstays as the Drifters, Temptations, Four Tops, and Spinners. Perhaps the real problem is that Wimmer doesn't know what beach music is.
