Wayne Cochran - Harlem Shuffle

1. So many versions of this great song.

Wayne could really move his feet!

The original version by Bob and Earl. I like the slower tempo and the harmonies.

I was in a band in the mid-late 60's, our version was closer to the one by the Fabulous Flippers.

2. Bob and Earl were the best, for sure. I didn't expect that Cochran made a version ...

the Fabulous Flippers did a great video, too. Just a great Iowa band.

Another great Iowa Band - Linn County

3. The Linn County Band was solid, looks like they did a

lot of touring with groups such as the Animals, Led Zeppelin, and others.

The Flippers were actually from Lawrence KS by way of Hayes KS. Some say, others not, that they were an influence on groups such as Chicago and BS&T.

4. What I've seen of their stage act, they had to be a great live act. They're still around in some ...

... form, aren't they? I loved the show bands from the early and mid sixties. one or another played att the dances in Jr HS and HS,

this one played a ninth grade prom at Simon Perkins Jr HS, Akron, Ohio

Only record they released
