Alabama - Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard (Official Video)

Loved Alabama from the first time I heard them on the radio and now I have a home in Myrtle Beach and eventually I will have to pay a visit to the Bowery.

Sad Day : Rest in Peace Jeff Cook. Thank you for sharing your guitar and fiddle skills with the world. November 9, 2022

[@DeloriseCarmichael]

Child of the 60's & 70's. Grew up going to Myrtle every summer, missing the Sun Fun festival would have been the worst thing ever! Lol. Being from SC, the saying was...if you hadn't been to Myrtle or Folly during the summer, you hadn't been anywhere. That's why I love this song. We walked everywhere and didn't realize we were having the time of our lives. Ah nostalgia...I can still remember the smells of Hawaiian Tropic and ocean. And we danced our feet off, even us kids. Everytime I hear this song I still shag a few steps and smile. Thank you Alabama for capturing my youth 😊

[@JoelCollins-f2n]

Hello 👋 Deloris, how are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Joe Michael and I live in Denver Colorado, you seem like a real country girl

[@kathrynmiller9622]

You have hit the nail on the head. Myrtle Beach, the strand, Hawaiian Tropic, the pavilion and music. Every summer in the 60's and 70's. Needless to say everyone we got to meet. You bet, the memories are awesome.

[@lindalee5493]

Yes I love this song. I grew up going to Myrtle Beach and continued after I married my husband . We have listened to Alabama play at the Bowery long before they became famous . I love these guys. They are just good ole country Boys and I hate that they grew up and got old like me. But I still have my memories of standing in line to buy tickets to see their concerts in many cities .

[@mustangpatty51]

Gosh, watching this brings back a few memories...Seeing Alabama at the Bowery when I lived in South Carolina..One of the best country groups ever and the nicest guys. They kept their country roots. Great song!!

[@Fiberglasser03]

This has to be one of the greatest country songs to date. Singing about something real, not what will "sell" in today's industry. One of the greatest country bands (if not the best) of all time.

I am 70 years old and not only does this tune just slow everything down a relaxing notch but the words paint such great memories of Myrtle Beach from my high school and college years when all it took was “let’s go to the beach this weekend” to get a group up for the 3 hour drive….and there we were cruising the boulevard. This is my favorite songs of all time because of the way it captures that slice of my life. Many thanks for the memories

The best time in the history of Country Music coming from the likes of Alabama, George Strait, Alan Jackson, just to name a few, made life so easy to deal with. There was a song for everything that we were experiencing. Days gone by will never be forgotten because of the tapes, records, and their concerts.

Being over 50, married for over 20 years with kids, this make me really miss those days. Part of me feels trapped and "jealous" but a bigger part of me makes me feel very blessed to be with my family. Thinking back those days seemed "Fun" but they were very lonely when I was young. Also remind myself that all these people are around my age now and in similar circumstances. We all were young, partied without a care never thinking it would end. Now were all old folks and it's the younger generations turn. Still we had it better in socialization and safety, then now days.
