abstract
  • %22Shout and Shimmy%22 is an R&B song written by James Brown, and recorded by him and The Famous Flames. It rose to #16 on the R&B chart and #61 on the Billboard Hot 100.The critic Douglas Wolk described the song as %22a truly shameless ripoff of The Isley Brothers' 1959 hit %22Shout%22... basically the fast parts of %22Shout%22 with the gospel inflections removed and the word 'shimmy' added.%22 Wolk argues that Brown and The Famous Flames probably performed %22Shout and Shimmy%22 in the October 24, 1962 concerts at which Live at the Apollo was recorded, but that it was left off of the album to prevent sales competition with the studio version of the song. Evidence to support this contention includes the fact that Brown customarily began his concerts with his latest hit (which %22Shout and Shimmy%22 was at the time), and the presence of %22Shout and Shimmy%22's a cappella opening (%22You know I feel all right...%22) immediately before the first song on the album, %22I'll Go Crazy%22. James and The Famous Flames sang and performed this song on Dick Clark's American Bandstand,on a telecast dated June 11th, 1962. A performance of %22Shout and Shimmy%22 was the first track on Brown & The Flames' next live album, 1964's Pure Dynamite! Live at the Royal,featuring a comedy skit between Brown and Famous Flame Bobby Bennett.
