I've been on a serious hard driving r&b kick lately, as evidenced by yesterday and today's posts.
This is one WILD record, from a group known more for smooth vocal harmonies. The Uncle Willie dance was a massive sensation in Chicago during '63-'64, and spawned many records related to the craze. Out of all of them that I've heard (I have a handful of them) this is by far my favorite and it's so much more EXTREME than the other Uncle Willie records! The Uncle Willie itself is a cool, simple step that involves shuffling the feet heel to toe; dancing the Uncle Willie to this song is sure to be a great way to lose weight and have fun in the process.
from 1964...

Great! I never heard this one. I only knew Zoot Money´s version so far (which make you loose even more weight, because it´s faster)
Thanks for the upload!
Great tune! I assume that this is the original - the version I heard first is by Zoot Money (from memory on Decca '64). It's well worth checking out.

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful R'n'B nugget Derek. This is one of my all time favorite. Don't have word to describe it!
Zoot Money Big Roll Band's version was effectively released in 1964 on Decca and was his first 45.
Brian Poole & The Tremeloes also recorded a great version of this song. Check the vid on YouTube.
