During the time the song was written in 1973, he was going to college at a Barber School in Raleigh N.C. The song was recorded and released as a single in 1980 [1] on the album Carolina Girl by Surfside Records. While never topping the charts, the song has persisted over the years to become a part of the North and South Carolina culture and remains a radio and live performance favorite. The song was later recorded by other artists,[2] although not with the success of the original. The song also inspired the book Carolina Girls ({{ISBN|0-9712521-7-3}}) by Steven Brown.[3] In an interview with Blues Critic, Danny Woods of Chairman of the Board was asked if "Carolina girls really are the best" and explains: You know when I first came here (The Carolinas) there was no style. You know you had the New York girls, California girls and they all got the attention. Even songs about them. And that just made Carolina girls feel like nothing but there's quite a difference between Carolina girls now and then. Their self-esteem just magnified after that song."[4] Fellow Chairman Ken Knox followed up: Girls became prideful. High schools and colleges use that song. Marching bands play "Carolina Girls". It's on T-shirts and we're glad about that. It's the all-time biggest Carolina beach song now. [How can any Songwriter/Artist/or Musician be prideful & feel comfortable making a statement on a song that they only recorded and it wasn't written by them?] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.chairmenoftheboard.com/News.htm |title=Domain Expires |publisher=Chairmenoftheboard.com |accessdate=2013-07-07 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20120728201823/http://www.chairmenoftheboard.com/News.htm# |archive-date=2012-07-28 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 2. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20110807124817/http://bitmunk.com/media/6743862 ] 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chicksprings.com/carolinagirls.htm |title=Chick Springs Publishing |publisher=Chicksprings.com |date= |accessdate=2013-07-07}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://bluescritic.com/chairmenoftheboardinterview.htm |title=CD Store Page 1 |publisher=Bluescritic.com |date= |accessdate=2013-07-07}} External links
