When The Go-Go’s formed in 1978, they had little experience but figured they could learn on the fly in the LA punk scene, where enthusiasm could make up for shortfalls in musicianship. Guitarist Charlotte Caffey drew inspiration from some Motown beats to write the song “We Got The Beat”. The song became a hit and helped to catapult the Go-Go’s to superstardom.
For any fan of the song that plays in the opening scene of the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, this We Got The Beat Group Photo Go-Go’s T-Shirt is a must have!
