They soon made an impression on audiences at the famed Apollo Theatre as well as The Paramount. But somehow despite rave notices that kept them busy from coast to coast and some well received records, the girls never really hit it as big as they hoped. Toward the end of 1967 they decided to try a completely new and for them, hitherto unexplored market-Britain. Since they've been there these three lovely and very talented girls have made an impact in cabaret, toured with great success with Stevie Wonder and have built up an impressive fan following. Many of their fans have in fact wondered when they'd come up with an LP. It was "Sounds Like The Flirtations". The twelve-strong collection included their two previous hits "Someone Out There" and "Nothing But a Heartache" as well as a potential chart topper "What's Good about Goodbye,my Love? "There was also the beautiful "South Carolina". The Flirtations possessed a unique vocal sound and a style that was completely their own. Their voices were beautiful.compelling and full of vitality on every note.

I heard this in 1969. I have searched over and over trying to find it. Wow! Still sounds great in 2023.
@oldbeachman
Does it get any better than the late '60s? So many great songs and, unfortunately, some didn't become huge hits....like this one. But still, what a fantastic record!!
@angeler105
How did i go my whole life living in South Caroline without knowing this!
@niccoarcadia4179
That beach area between Wilmington NC and Myrtle Beach SC was where Eastern Beach Music got its start and it was because of songs like this.

"South Carolina" was the follow-up (A-side) to "Nothing But A Heartache" in the U.S.
@rondmc44
Being from SC, I think this has a country feel to it. could be re-worked into a country song....
