‘Under the Boardwalk’ – The Drifters
Because of the song’s availability on jukeboxes, it has been a summertime favorite in beach towns for as long as the song has been on the radio. The gadget captures the sounds of the beach that are unaffected by the weather. The ideal day for taking the photograph would have been a day at the beach, but not on that particular day. Due to the death of the track’s original singer, Rudy Lewis, from a heroin overdose in his hotel room the night before the recording, Johnny Moore was brought in to perform the lead vocals.
