Jackie Gore
Father of Beach Music
Simply stated, Jackie Gore is Beach Music!
- Christopher Biehler, President Forevermore Records
He transcends the genre beyond the boundaries of any of his contemporaries. In 1958, Jackie Gore along with Bobby Tomlinson founded the world famous musical group the Embers of Raleigh, NC. For over 37 years, Jackie Gore was the lead singer and voice of the Embers. In 1995, Jackie decided to pursue a solo career and in 2004, formed his new band “Jackie Gore and the Mighty All-stars”.
Jackie Gore is considered by many to be the Father of Beach Music – and the ambassador of Carolina Music for the world. Over the years, many thousands of young people, college students and others, first heard and were introduced to Carolina Rhythm N’ Blues music through performances by Jackie Gore and the Embers at dances, frat parties and special events where the band performed. Jackie and the music he made with the Embers are also vastly popular through the Northern Soul scene in the UK. Songs such as “Watch Out Girl” and “It Ain’t Necessary” and “Where Did I Go Wrong”.
