Based out of Greenwood, South Carolina, the Medallions’ musical roots came from listening to early rhythm and blues acts. After a few years of touring colleges from the Carolinas to the Louisiana Bayou, the group recorded “Double Shot (of My Baby’s Love)” and the song became a million seller in 1966. While the members of the Swingin’ Medallions have changed over the past thirty years, the band has always included around eight members with at least a four piece horn section. The high energy party style stage performance of the first Medallions has been passed down to the band that performs today which has been coined “The Party Band of the South.”
