The Tams are an American vocal group from Atlanta, Georgia, who enjoyed their greatest chart success in the 1960s, and the 1970s, and most improbably in the 1980s. Two separate lineups of the group continue to perform and record. One lineup, called 'The Original Tams with R. L. Smith', features original member Robert Lee Smith, and the other lineup is under the leadership of Charles Pope, the brother of co-founder Joe Pope.
The band formed in 1960, and took their name from the Tam o'shanter hats they wore on stage. By 1962, they had a hit single on Arlen Records. "Untie Me", a Joe South composition, became a Top 20 on the Billboard R&B chart. The follow-up releases largely failed until 1964, when "What Kind of Fool (Do You Think I Am)", reached the Top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song spent three weeks at number one on the Cash Box R&B chart. Many of their popular hits were written by Ray Whitley.
"Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" was also a modest US hit the same year. The Tams had only one further major US hit (in 1968) when "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy", peaked at #26 on the US R&B chart, and subsequently made the UK Top 40 in 1970.
The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS) is a two-year residential early entrance college program serving approximately 375 high school juniors and seniors at the University of North Texas. Students are admitted from every region of the state through a selective admissions process. TAMS is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology.
TAMS was established on June 23, 1987 by the 70th Texas Legislature, in order to provide high school students an opportunity to take advanced coursework in math, science, and engineering. It was designed as a residential program at the University of North Texas for high school-aged students gifted in mathematics and science.
The establishment of this innovative program stemmed from national concern among educators about anticipated shortages of students who would be sufficiently well prepared in mathematical and scientific problem solving. Recognizing that American youth would need to compete in an increasingly technological society, several states including Texas opted to create alternative educational programs that would attract students to the fields of mathematics and science as well as offer bright, motivated young people an accelerated education in these areas of study. TAMS differs from other state-supported residential math and science schools in that the academy offers students the opportunity to complete two years of college concurrently with the last two years of high school.
Beach music, also known as Carolina beach music, and to a lesser extent, Beach pop, is a regional genre which developed from various rock/R&B/pop music of the 1950s and 1960s. Beach music is most closely associated with the style of swing dance known as the shag, or the Carolina shag, which is also the official state dance of both North Carolina and South Carolina. Recordings with a 4/4 "blues shuffle" rhythmic structure and moderate-to-fast tempo are the most popular music for the shag, and the vast majority of the music in this genre fits that description.
Though primarily confined to a small regional fan base, in its early days what is now known as Carolina beach music was instrumental in bringing about wider acceptance of R&B music among the white population nationwide. Thus is was a contributory factor in both the birth of rock and roll and the later development of soul music as a subgenre of R&B.
While the older styles of R&B have faded from popularity nationally, the Carolina shag has gained wide popularity in swing dance circles around the US. This has not generally led to increased appreciation for the music of the beach bands, however. Many of these new shag dance aficionados prefer the "R&B oldies" and/or shagging to currently popular tunes that happen to have the required beat. As more networking is being done on the Internet among shag deejays and beach music fans nationwide, however, there is a growing acceptance of the regional bands by the "new shaggers".
"I've Been Hurt" is a popular single by The Tams and made into a hit by Guy Darrell. Written by Ray Whitley, it was originally released in 1965 and 1966 respectively. Darrells cover became a favourite on the Northern soul scene in the UK, belatedly reaching number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1973. Whitley's original version on Dunhil is very rare and much sought after with the Northern Soul Scene.

Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Go away, come back another day
Don't bother me
Heard back from my friends
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Word really gets around
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
They say you're the toy
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Of every boy in town
They said you like to cheat
(Cheat, cheat)
They said you were just a little flirt
(Cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat)
If I fall for you
(Cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat)
I'm surely gonna get hurt
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Stay out of my home, don't try to use your charm
Don't bother me
But I've really gotta say, you look so fine
You're oh, oh, so hard to resist
But I know I've gotta stay away
'Cause I might fall for you
And I don't wanna be added to your list
So now I say
"Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Afraid if I kiss you, I might not resist you
Don't bother me"
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Don't bother me
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Go your way, girl
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
