This song came out when I was 9yrs old, and my family being 100% west Texas country music raised could not understand why I loved the song so much! LOL
I get it. The song may be the R&B style but the content is 100% country rural America. Same backwoods, different skin color. I'm from the big city and I loved ot too!
@@elainewaller-rose9707 I felt I just had to learn this song on guitar and was amazed at the fact that only 1 chord was used all the way through, but it makes the song so dynamic and unique!
And there was also a dance call (Shot Gun)You would rock front to back and bring your right arm over your shoulder and hold your left arm up like you were holding a rifle like you are going to aim.Them use your right hand like you were going to pull the trigger.This is how we did it in Philly, New York, B,more an in Washington D.C.at the dances.😊😊😊One of the Greatest Party song to dance to..
James Jamerson actually played bass on the original recording in 1964. But In other appearances Vic Thomas (the organist) was playing bass with the Hammond B-3 peddles.
Me? I am 68yrs young 'n I'm Still Rockin' Stone Cold Steady! How could ya possibly sit still to this???? C'ya, KeeP Rockin! Miss CJ-4-JC 4evr Besides, I played Tenor Sax for many years!
Thank you for posting this. One of the best songs ever. So fun to see Jr. & the All Stars doing their thing. Had no idea singer was on sax as well. Some people are blessed with so much talent.
Amen! Tis ALL GaRBAGE is how Music has been since we started it all back then, sooo CooL it was in The Day! So Jazzed to have lived it! C'ya, Miss CJ-4-JC~ I play Tenor Sax also.🏁
Junior Walker was a great musician. Around 1980, Foreigner hired him to perform the saxophone solo for their upcoming single, “Urgent”. They got along so well, Walker joined the band for their tour that year.
I love all this old soul music there ain't nothing like the old soul stuff that come out years ago and I love Junior Walker❤ he's got a shotgun too I bet you😅
I'm very pleased that there are RUclips clips of Jr. Walker performing this song on Hollywood A Go-Go, Shindig, and Hullabaloo. And there's go-go dancing throughout.
Junior Walker & the All-Stars was something serious , just look at the way those guys are handling those instruments like a Carpenter uses his tools!!!!!!
Junior Walker is one of the best musicians that ever lived. and if this song don't make you get up and want to dance there must be something wrong with you. I'm just an old Jersey City guy born in 1952
I am just beginning to realize how awesome jr. walker was.mam he could blow
THE hottest song of early 1965.sweet memories!!!
What a time, what a voice, what a vibe. The incredible talent. Motown.
yepp,,, i was born in the wrong era
I love this song. Used to have a good time dancing to this with my friends...sometimes just me and my mom...God bless Jr. Walker!!
Junior forever. Forever Junior.

saw them in the summer of '73. opened for ZZ top. cool show
Fantastic Music 🎶
This guy's singing style is so cool and he wail on the saxophone - killer combo skills - non existent today.
He could be Berry Gordy's little brother. What a special time it was!
He's like who needs a guitar when you got a horn
I remember dancing to this song when I was in high school. Fun times! Do the jerk now! :)
Released February 13, 1965
It was recorded sometime in late 1964.
@@a.b.sproductionsllc
Yes recorded 1964
Released 1965
Born in the 90s I always love this song and still to this day this is better than today's trash on the radio.
Very simple playing !!!! great!!!
Man if i could see a band from back then I'd see jw before I'd see the Beatles. The feel here is so electric
I WAS 7 YEARS OLD IN 1965 TODAY IM 64 YEARS OLD AND WHEN MY WIFE LEFT ME FOR ROY 40 YEARS AGO I PLAYED THIS SONG WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR ROY
DID YOU FIND HIM?
IM STILL LOOKING
Отличная группа
It's amazing to see people dance the jerk!

Brilliant record.....miming here...guitar isn't even plugged in..!!
What a groovin' tune ! I am sorry I did not get too hear it when it was originally broadcasted on radio or T.V .
I can hear a bass guitar but I can't see it.
Where's the bass player?
James Jamerson actually played bass on the original recording in 1964. But In other appearances Vic Thomas (the organist) was playing bass with the Hammond B-3 peddles.
Obviously lip synched but still great
wow i'm who gives a fuck years old and its year who gives a shit!
I'm 74 and this song is fresh even today!
where's the bass player?
There is no bass player. The organist is playing the bass with the peddles. The guy next to Jr Walker singing also is on an electric guitar.
didn't sound much like pedals to me, he was heard not seen
Wow🤯 I'm a 71 yr old white Dude...I still remember being blown away by this tune even as a young Lad 😵💫 Thanx for this great Vid !
I was a freshman in college - Twine Time!
Im..honky.u70
you said that righ I am 71 white and loved this from the first time i heard it

Now this is real music 🎶!!!
Real Soul Music and not that garbage of today that tries to pass itself as music.
So much new music these days all sounds the same! THIS was the REAL DEAL!
Amen! Tis ALL GaRBAGE is how Music has been since we started it all back then, sooo CooL it was in The Day! So Jazzed to have lived it! C'ya, Miss CJ-4-JC~ I play Tenor Sax also.🏁
Yep.
@@CarolE.Johnson I play piano and tenor, and this is what i grew up with and this is what I love!

Great song with Jr. Walker on sax. Always played it as loud as possible
What a god damn legend Jr. was. The voice was commanding, the saxophone masterful.
This is what you call bringing down the house,knocking the cinder blocks off of it!!
The Best Saxophone Player 🎷 Ever .
The bass line one the most precise and awesome in musical history, grabs and holds you as it soars within Jrs interludes as one.
I play Tenor Sax, 'n let me tell ya, that man CAN PLAY!!! Whooo! Now, That IS Music, Solid! C'ya, CJ-4-JC 4evr ~😇❤🏁
Jr walker one of the greats
This is great stuff. A classic song with a legend group of musicians.
My dad used to have parties in our house when we were kids and blast this, and then he would pull out a harmonica. Good times.
Not just a stellar sax 🎷 but Oooooooo he could sang too 💕 The All Stars?? SUPERB!!
I’m old enough to remember when this was hot ! Little did I know all these years later it’s still great to listen to ! 2:20
I love all this old soul music there ain't nothing like the old soul stuff that come out years ago and I love Junior Walker❤ he's got a shotgun too I bet you😅

Junior Walker & the All-Stars was something serious , just look at the way those guys are handling those instruments like a Carpenter uses his tools!!!!!!
In today's SAD PC culture, the song name "Shotgun" would never be appropriate and appreciated......
Great music and great times
FANTASTIC THANK YOU
I still remember how to do the jerk and I'm going to do the shotgun too
I used to roller skate when I was 12 13 years old to this song
That guy can sure play that saxophone❤❤❤
Like many hits of the day , this was probably mimed for the TV audience . That said , this was a big hit , and the sax playing is strong .
Yes..!!Organ can be heard and guitar isn't plugged in...!!!
Now this is music!

The drummer looks a lot like like the drummer from Archie Bell and the Drells, anyone know if it's the same guy?
And they claime Elvis was the king of rock and roll.No way.
Also they did an amazing version of "How Sweet It Is" by Marvin Gaye that James Taylor also covered in the 1970's.
I always thought this song was great. And, I'm correct! 😁
It's Twine Time. Alvin Cash and the Registers!
My Jr. High song. Lordy....Girls can't dance in this vid.
The tall blonde dancer was making the song work!
I remember learning the dance as a kid.
That's how the sax is played.
I used to dance and to the shot dance
Look how NOT grossly obese they were
Big Sound For A Quartet
You tube, sucks. Controlling..
✨️🎷🤴🏿 🎷✨️
❤😊
This was my mom era
I saw Junior at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival in maybe 1971. For a while he played sax while lying down on the stage.
Badass
Nothing like jr walker this bro makes my neck hairs stand up he's the best periodl
Proper music
What??! He can't play and sing at the same time?? Great video! Thanks!
Best live Ive seen. Theyre cuttin loose
Shoot him for he run now
Love this song with the original singer. Sandra B.
I have seen him live in Belgium ,long time ago !
That guy playing that sax
Why no bass guitarist?
I wonder if the black band was allowed to enter that club through the same front door as the white audience.
Was this the start of the fake live performances? That was clearly the studio album version and not a live sound.
Not at all. They had been doing it for quite a while before this.
It's called put your best foot forward live performance had not yet made the sound clear enough to go out over the airwaves ! 😣
