I'm 70 now and was 25 or so when this came out. We had a dance club and when the DJ put this on the box, no one--NO ONE--sat down. You could not NOT dance to it. In my mind, this song remains the greatest dance tune of all time. We danced until the sweat flew off of us.
@@VW421 Listen, dip shit ... I'm willing to bet, bottom dollar, that right here and now, in 2022, Your ass is fatter than fuck, (not to mention your diabetic, hypertensive belly) and no one, repeat, no one in banging down your rental door to ask for the pleasure of a dance with you. Just saying, From up here in Canada, where real men appreciate a woman for who she actually is
2019 still Jammin to Jr. Walker & The All Stars. That goes to show you Music doesn't get old. It's a treasure to keep when you need it. So it's needed now !!!
My parents told me that this song was the total jam back in their day. It would turn the party out. How everybody would dance so hard to this. I sometimes wish I was of age during this great golden time. This is soul music in its perfection.
Among knowledgeable sax players, Junior Walker is regarded as one of the top all-time best sax players. I had the good fortune of being able to play with him and his band one night at the Concord Tavern in Toronto in about 1966, and he certainly impressed me.
xx xx listening to their music is in essence remembering them. Only the select few who personally knew them could truly remember who they themselves were
I PLAYED THIS JAM ON MY SELMER TENOR SAX, LIKE IT WAS GOING OUT OF STYLE BACK IN THE 60s.. :-) The fact is, there wasn't a song that Jr. Walker ever produced that I didn't play! - I was Jr. Walker FREAK. Back in the Day! - LOLOL!
Born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr, Junior Walker was a talent not seen today. He brought happiness in the hearts of all that truly love good music. This guy put a feeling in ya !! RIP never forgotten
Can you do this dance called the shoeflex.They use to do this at the eclub at Camp Pendleton,Ca. You start to bounce with the beat and shuffle your feet back and forth real fast one at time.
I remember this song. When I live with my Beautiful Great Aunts on Saturday mornings she put this song On We would Dances, It was Priceless❤🙏🏽 🥰🥰 Does was the Good old Day's
@Buzz Davis -- I wish there would be Motown forever! It's sad that they moved it to LA and the Motown sound didn't make it there. Some of it was the bedrock for disco but the rest of it died (in my opinion). I don't get why it can't be resurrected and be a musical force again--so much of today's music can't come close to Motown. I know there is the movie "Standing in the Shadow of Motown" but it has only a few of the classics when there is so much more music there! I don't get it; do people not want to pay enough to support all the musicians in a true Motown band?
MUSIC is BEAUTIFUL. thank you brothers and sisters from the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's for expressing yourselves through song. you leave legacies behind.
To this day If I hear this song playing somewhere I get an uncontrollable urge to get up and dance! How could anyone resist the temptation to do so? If I was strapped down in a hospital bed & heard this song playing some part of me would just have to move to the beat no matter how constrained I might be. I don't know what makes me this way & I'm not about to change it cause I love this song just the way it is! Thanks Jr.
MY UNCLE USE TO OWN A RECORD SHOP BACK IN 50'S AND 60'S I WAS ABOUT 8 YRS. OLD AND WOULD GO YO WORK WITH MY MOTHER AND SPIN RECORDS AND THEY HAD A SPEAKER OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND PEOPLE WOULD HEAR THE MUSIC AND COME IN AND ASK ABOUT THE RECORDS THAT WAS PLAYING. THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD TIMES !!
+ray carter This music era is the difference between REAL musicians and singers and the FAKE ish of today. For those of us growing up during this time this music kept us going. Of all the internet good - being able to download the musical "good stuff" is important, I think, to keeping our heritage alive and showing everybody how it was done.
for sure i forgot some songs.but thru youtube i am finding the sounds of our days. from motown,rock,to all we had in the 60s and 70s. a hit came out almost daily
Had the pleasure of seeing Jr play live at the Club Blue Note in Toronto many years . Small venue but it was awesome seeing and hearing Jr & The All Stars play like Hell. Great Times!!
Nothing ever....has been able to replace it...! This was the greatest time for music in history! Motown lives in my heart forever! Yep...sorry...I'm a boomer from the Sixties.....and know that I was truly blessed to be so! This music...can not be replaced or outdone! It can however, by decent respecting artists be updated for the current times...as long as they keep it to its integrity! Miss the music from those good old times! But glad to be blessed as a boomer ......cause I was blessed to experience the best of the best! No regrets! Motown forever!
I remember in the 60's going to high school, Friday nite dances held in the girls gym, trying to dance my ass off, doing the twine with all the other teenagers. Jr. Walker is an unheralded American Genius that deserves his due props. His version of Cheri Amor is great, too.
I may have been born in the 80's but i grew up listening to 60's soul music in my house..there was never a time when this feel good music was never playing in my house it always was..when my mother was pregnant for me she used to place her headphones on her belly and she could feel me moving around inside her belly..I grew up on Regina Belle Anita Baker, Earth Wind and Fire Teddy Pendergrass Luther Vandross LTD MTume and all of them.
THERE'S A COOL STORY BEHIND THIS SONG.WHEN JR.WALKER AND THE ALL STARS FIRST RECORDED THIS SONG THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO ANOTHER LEAD SINGER SINGING HERE.BUT THE GUY NEVER SHOWED UP AND FOR THE FIRST TIME,JR.WALKER SANG LEAD ON A SONG.BERRY GORDY,WHO RAN SOUL RECORDS,A SUBSIDIARY OF MOTOWN RECORDS LIKE WHAT HE HEARD AND DECIDED TO KEEP WALKERS VERSION RATHER THAN RE-RECORD IT WITH THE GUY WHO DIDN'T SHOW UP AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
Vocals far right channel...drums and bass 12 o;clock...guitar left..organ left...4 track perfection....opens with a fast panned shotgunlike sound effect...way before it's time, man!
Will u check out my Miche business website Https:// treena.miche.com. ..pass it along . I'm independent rep. Interchangeable purse sleeves and base purse
There's only ONE CHORD in the whole song! That just might be the best sax playing on a rock record ever done. The growls and articulation are insanely good. My band played this for years. It still gets me going.
tojucomedianXL There's a lot of good things you can say about any race's culture... but the fuckin media likes to twist shit up. Never be ashamed of who you are, brother.
luv this song brings back memories of my child hood ,sitting on the steps of the stairs watching my mom and dad dancing with friends having parties good times .
It's actually good legal advice in the US. You should shoot someone while they are perpetrating a crime, not while they're running away. Thanks, Jr. Walker! LOL
+GCleph Musique Yep, I knew a guy that broke into a drug store, the law showed up and as he was running away they shot him in the back. But, it didn't kill him and he sued the police. Said they weren't suppose to shoot if their lives weren't on the line, being shot at. But I left town and so did he and I never knew how that turned out. It was back in the 70's.
A #1 hit for Junior Walker and The All-Stars on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 123rd #1 R&B hit of the Rock Era. It also hit #4 on the Top 40 charts.
I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! Put on your red dress And then you go downtown now I said buy yourself a shotgun now We're gonna break it down baby now We're gonna load it up baby now And then you shoot him for he runs now I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! [Instrumental sax] I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! Put on your high heels shoes I said we're goin' down here listen to em play blues We're gonna dig potatoes We're gonna pick tomatoes I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! I said it's Cryin' Time I said it's Cryin' Time I said it's Cryin' Time Hey!
Man this song takes me back to when I was a kid listening to the oldies station in my room. I miss that radio station but I'm so glad I was mature enough back then to appreciate all the songs that came from a time before me.
I used to watch the older people dancing to this at family gatherings. I swore I would never listen to this song as an adult. Now, I listen to the song all the time.
@Queen_Of_Domination -- I'm pretty old now and in my childhood, at the age when girls and boys became interested in each other, we'd go to the beach, play Motown tunes and play "kiss tag", where you run around, tag (touch) someone you like and kiss them. Kids only; so it was golden!
Crowd pleasing tune everytime! "Do the Jerk Baby, do the Jerk now...I said it's Twine Time...I said it's Twine Time..." sing it Jr. and the gang!! Timeless tune!
@BeautelligentDiva79 I was born in the late 70s too, and I wish I would have been born in the 50s or early 60s. There will never be music like this again.
Whenever I think about this song, I think about this song played in Malcolm X in that scene where the teenagers are dancing at the ballroom and the would be killers of Malcolm X are casing out the joint.
+Malcolm X, yes, it was quite memorable in Malcolm X. Brother Malcolm (Denzel Washington) was getting outrageous threats over the phone, and he simply ignored them and stayed determined to be strong in the face of danger. What a dynamite soundtrack, too.
Junior Walker was my neighbor. We lived on the same street, just a block from each other. I remember he told me to listen to WLS radio in Chicago, on Friday, at 1:00pm, and they were going to play his new song. I listened, and it was Shotgun. The rest is history. My brother sang with a group called the Delcos (Arabia and These Three Little Words), and he was the lead singer on Three little Words. Our neighborhood was amazing. He also, sang with the Penguins (Earth Angel).
Quaalude Charlie here is the list of the Sax players i could find who played with the Funk Bros. Andrew"Mike" Terry, Thomas "Beans" Boles, Teddy Buckner, Bill Moore, Dan Turner Lefty Edwards and Eli Fontaine
This is before James Brown "supposedly" invented funk with Papa's Got A Brand New Bag. This is way funkier and should be more recognized as the start of funk in comparison
I'm 70 now and was 25 or so when this came out. We had a dance club and when the DJ put this on the box, no one--NO ONE--sat down. You could not NOT dance to it. In my mind, this song remains the greatest dance tune of all time. We danced until the sweat flew off of us.
It was a mad rush to find a dance partner or you'd have to ask the fat girl.

Listen, dip shit ...
I'm willing to bet, bottom dollar, that right here and now, in 2022,
Your ass is fatter than fuck, (not to mention your diabetic, hypertensive belly) and no one, repeat, no one in banging down your rental door to ask for the pleasure of a dance with you.
Just saying,

Ditto to all Jeff said!!
At a blessed age of 71, I will never forget this song. Fun time!
It's that bass line that grabs your ass and kicks it into gear.
Being a janitor at night and listening to this song makes my work easy.. keep the funky music alive :-)
The best music ever
I know thats right. Keep jamming while you are on the grind my brother.
you sir are the backbone of this country
2019 still Jammin to Jr. Walker & The All Stars. That goes to show you Music doesn't get old. It's a treasure to keep when you need it. So it's needed now !!!

Guillermo Dehesa don't make an obituary out of everything , just when it's right - A GREAT ARTISTS PASSING SHOULD BE REMEMBERED
xx xx listening to their music is in essence remembering them. Only the select few who personally knew them could truly remember who they themselves were
Alex Glau - if even that - BUT THE ARTIST PROVEN BY THE WORK IS GREAT !

one of my fav tunes the Funk Brothers played on. it is a fun one
Jnr Walker is the reason I learnt the sax
Born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr, Junior Walker was a talent not seen today. He brought happiness in the hearts of all that truly love good music. This guy put a feeling in ya !! RIP never forgotten
My old 'pal from BC'. Giant talent, inspiration and mover in US music history.
I can still do the "Shotgun" and the "Jerk"..with the "mash Potatoes"..hayooo..

I'm sorry to hear this, I hope you at least have many good memories of our era, music is a great healer for me ,keeps me young.
Can you do this dance called the shoeflex.They use to do this at the eclub at Camp Pendleton,Ca. You start to bounce with the beat and shuffle your feet back and forth real fast one at time.

When my four year old heard this she immediately turned into a dance machine. The only thing missing were the gogo boots
I'll Always Love my Browning Shotguns.
One of the BEST ever!!

@Queen_Of_Domination -- I'm pretty old now and in my childhood, at the age when girls and boys became interested in each other, we'd go to the beach, play Motown tunes and play "kiss tag", where you run around, tag (touch) someone you like and kiss them. Kids only; so it was golden!
I ❤️❤️ this song a lot 🙂🌸/ OK 23rd Monday at midnight phoenix Arizona time/ age 62🙂
My sister had this record and passed it on to me back in the day! Great song....they don't make 'em like this anymore!
Amazing to me that anyone ANYONE would Not like this! Ya gotta be some kind a douche bag dumb ass no soul no taste no funk no rhythm fool!!!!!
Northern soul, KEEP THE FAITH
Damn straight!!!!
I used to play this whole album on my 8 track in my 64 lmpala back in the day. Jr. Walker is one of the best sax players of all time.
It sounds good in stereo but stronger in mono; definitely one of my favorite Motown song of all time...period.
If u have a daughter, suddenly this song becomes incredibly relevant.
Crowd pleasing tune everytime! "Do the Jerk Baby, do the Jerk now...I said it's Twine Time...I said it's Twine Time..." sing it Jr. and the gang!! Timeless tune!
@BeautelligentDiva79 I was born in the late 70s too, and I wish I would have been born in the 50s or early 60s. There will never be music like this again.
THE BOMB! !!! HAVE IT ON CASSETTE. .HAVE TO LAUGH AT MYSELF "CASSETTE " LOVE IT!!!!!
This song reminds me of The Cosby Show season 6 & 7 theme.
Xavier Siline really wasnt it like seasons 1 or 2 or somethin like that?
OMG!!!! How I still love this song......all these years later........
PATTY WHICH DANCES WOULD YOU DO BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THEY LAID THIS RECORD ON THE TURNTABLE?

i saw this in Malcolm X(1992) movie,really loved the song including Change Gonna Come And Someday We'll Be Free
+Malcolm X, yes, it was quite memorable in Malcolm X. Brother Malcolm (Denzel Washington) was getting outrageous threats over the phone, and he simply ignored them and stayed determined to be strong in the face of danger. What a dynamite soundtrack, too.
Yes Indeed Lol
Malcolm X, and the closing song by Aretha Franklin, "Someday We'll All Be Free," was so beautiful beyond words...
+sandinyourshoes yep

Love this music my dad was born in motor city! Detroit Michigan where all the best Motown legends were from
A -great song to dance to.
Junior Walker was my neighbor. We lived on the same street, just a block from each other. I remember he told me to listen to WLS radio in Chicago, on Friday, at 1:00pm, and they were going to play his new song. I listened, and it was Shotgun. The rest is history. My brother sang with a group called the Delcos (Arabia and These Three Little Words), and he was the lead singer on Three little Words. Our neighborhood was amazing. He also, sang with the Penguins (Earth Angel).
love the sax , make's you feel Good :) QC

Quaalude Charlie whole band COOKS one of my fav songs feturing the FunK Bros band
Quaalude Charlie here is the list of the Sax players i could find who played with the Funk Bros. Andrew"Mike" Terry, Thomas "Beans" Boles, Teddy Buckner, Bill Moore, Dan Turner Lefty Edwards and Eli Fontaine
This is before James Brown "supposedly" invented funk with Papa's Got A Brand New Bag. This is way funkier and should be more recognized as the start of funk in comparison
