The Tams, sometimes billed as "The Joe Pope 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 versions of the group continue to perform and record. One version features original member Robert Lee Smith - 'The Original Tams with R. L. Smith', and the other under the leadership of Charles Pope, brother of founder Joe Pope. Their 1965 recording "I've Been Hurt" was their biggest regional hit (based on sales and airplay) prior to 1980. To show the importance of regional sales and airplay, fellow beach music stars Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs have an RIAA Gold Record for Williams' song "May I", that never made the Billboard Hot 100. Many radio stations and DJs consider "I've Been Hurt" to be the biggest selling and most played Tams song, even though it was primarily popular in the southeast (and not recognized as a national hit by Billboard).
