This is my era of music, and blacks and white got along and we loved each other! It's a shame what our gov has done to separate us!!!

OMG!!! Finally someone has reacted to this great, fun song. In 1974 as a teenager this song was all over the radio reached #12 on the billboard charts!

Well, its a cover, but it is also my favorite cover of the 1963 Jimmy Reed hit.

This song is on another level!

That was gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏

I loved that song then and I love it even more today, what a fantastic groove and powerful vocals!

So good. Jason Alvarez....what a voice.

Great 70's tune..

"Shirley" was Shirley Goodman, who was one half of Shirley & Lee, who had a huge hit in 1956, "Let the Good Times Roll." "Company" was Jason Alvarez, who is now a preacher.

I danced my ass off went it came out in 1975 in West Hollywood at Studio One !!! On of my favorite all time songs.

I visited her very neglected grave in New Orleans a couple weeks back. THAT is truly a shame.

DISCO !!! 🕺 Great days. So many from back then.

This 1974 song was popular at about the same time as another big dance hit, George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby," and they go together in my head for some reason.

Yes fairly similar beat. And don't forget George's wife - Gwen McCrae's - hit from the following year - Rockin' Chair.

Early Disco. Cool track.

I haven't heard this in so long.

Your reaction was as good as the song, amazing

there is a rare extended version of shame. its all great

Such a great song and great voices

Jason (Jesus) Alvarez was my pastor for about 5 years and I always enjoyed his music ministry. Great songs, lol.

This song was a massive hit in 1974

omg ! I remember this one .... Such a blast from the past ! Such good memories - I love you mom !!

I wish Jason and Shirley had recorded more tunes together!

This song is a classic gem pure genius and also simple she's passed away and Mr Alvarez is now pastor always fresh and check out Tina Turner with Cher doing this Tina was outstanding ❤️

Great reaction. You really got into it! What a blast!

I remember that I danced with this song in the disco. So much fun!!!

Harry I was 5 years old playing dj on my record player playing this ! I was young but this was special ! Love your channel

love seeing the video heard the song my whole life and never seen the group very cool

My time the best 1970's songs

Such a fun reaction, Harri!!

No wonder singer's wanted to cover this. Brilliant. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada

My Fave Early Disco Record.

I had the 8track to this 😂 I used to dance to this back in the day. This is the best version! The man with that awesome falsetto is Jason Alvarez and he’s a Pastor in NJ.

this was a feel good song and groove!

I'm going back and watch again . . .

Wr need more outlets for Soul, R&B and Funk for our black youngsters like this to see where they get their music from...

@anglosaxon5874 just because it's fast-tempo music doesn't mean we'll dance to anything. It was a fad, most R&B bands did at least one disco song on their albums, then left it alone. (I was a former DJ.) I used to like disco a little bit, but now it sounds dated. Disco didn't come from the "hood"....

@@rondmc44Who gives a damn? I was a former dj too [still have my equipment (I'm 62)]. Edit: Who said it came from the 'hood'? This song is a disco song. And stop being racist only considering one race! I agree, the youth need to get away from the evil of rap/hip hop! Never liked that 'music' and never will!

Just so you know, this song was inescapable when it was out all those years ago. It was a great groove then and it still is. I'm glad you put a spotlight on this one...

I remember this on the radio and remember John Lennon saying either in an interview or on the radio that he liked this song a lot :) a great groove for sure!!

Irresistible! Instant time machine! ✌😘🎶🎸🎷🎺🔥🔥🔥💞💃

Omg!!! I haven’t even had my coffee yet and you got me dancing by myself in my living room!!! Cannot sit still during this one!! 💃🏻

Hes right about one thing...its fantastic..the vocals...its infectious and joyous. Jesus Christ man...its too 🔥

I started following you recently and love your channel! I also want to mention that despite being a 70s baby, I never heard this song. Thanks for planting the seed in my ear because now I can’t stop listening to it. Keep up the great work!

Oh man, this is a blast from the past!!! 🎶🎵 Loved it almost as much as your shirt 😉

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ one of my abolute fav from my early teens 💃🕺💃🕺💃

Gotta have dance music! What is life without it? Unhappy that's what, can't do that. Have to have that happy music 🎶 🎵 You should be dancing, isn't just a song, it is true. We need dance music.

This one was a twofer. One, I never heard of this group. Two, I got up and danced. Your energy was infectious, and the song was just a lot of fun.

WOW Harri !!! Great Great Tune ONLY reaction on u tube really brings on the memories Top Reaction !!!!!

I danced that at the club when I was young. Thank you Harry bring good memories from this Granny

Holy chit, that was indeed a trip down memory lane - I hadn't thought of this song in years, thank you for sharing this. I may be older, but I can still chair dance with the best of them. Thanks again, young man. That was a great song and reaction.

Basically a very simple song and so acceptable, great rhythm, especially when the cymbals come in, you have to dance to it, I always like to listen to it. Even when others perform it, Tina Turner, Cher is always good. Guido Croatia (68)

Thanks Harri for yet ANOTHER wonderful reaction. Your enthusiasm actually adds to the enjoyment of this fabulous classic . Cheers man .

I was a teenager back then and of course I danced, every time this song was played in the radio and still do. It was a huge hit in my country Germany.

Hi Harri, Congratulations, you just struck gold! - Brooklyn Mike

Great reaction, yeh you would wake up everybody .I was 10 years old dancing to this. Thanks Harry

Tuuuunnnee...such a great, happy song...love it

In the same era was a hit song by Joe Tex, "Don't Want to Bump No Mo' with no Big Fat Woman." It had the same humorous, make-you-dance vibe.

WOW WOW WOW WHAT A SONG!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You’re looking stylin’ today, Harri, with you bright flower shirt and red background! You always bring a smile to my face. Thanks for the reaction. I’m a child of the 70’s and haven’t heard this song for a minute!

Love Shirley & Company 🎶 makes you wanna dance !! Now for a real get down, funky sound go & check out Morris Day and The Time … bogeying to Jungle… you’ll know where their love for Prince came from & later doing a salute to Prince at the Grammy Awards 😍 I think Bruno Mars got a few ideas from Morris Day 💗💎🎶😻

Oh Harri……I’ve never seen groove so hard❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love it Disco dancing from 60-80s

I remember hearing this in the mid-70s for the first time down the Jersey shore, standing on the beach. I was tuned into WNBC which was broadcasting out of New York City. I went crazy for it and have loved it ever since

Brilliant mate. Haven’t heard this for yonks. Really enjoyed your reaction, you seem such a genuine guy. Always a pleasure.

I was 15 when this was released

another great selection 🙏👍🙏🦋🌈🌞🌻💜

je dansais sur ce tube... quelles voix que du bonheur

Wow great to see you enjoy this song so much . yes it is Disco many many people danced to this song and with all of the reactions many more are dancing to it today . it's great to see the younger generation listen to the music from back in the day and loving it as much as we did and still (do) brings back good memories . thank you for the reaction it was great loved it !

I lived in Columbus when this song came out!!!

This song reminds me of the Bee Gees "Stayin Alive." It has a similar riff.

Yaaasssss Harri!!! Go for it. Great reaction! Always loved groovin out to this song!!! ❤❤❤

now this one has you moving my man :)

Back in the club in the seventies. Boogie on down. The original is always the best

Bravo!!!

Kc and the sunshine band.Any song and you will be dancing

Pepe' was a fantastic artist.

I heard it at the gym this morning and had to find out who did it and when.....

Harri, please react to a lesser-known Gloria Gaynor song which never failed to fill the dance floor back in the day, "Honey Bee."

I thought this was a totally different song. It is fun. It makes your feet move!

Steve Wright Serious Jockin played this 03/09/2021 thats why im here. WOW Song.

WOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

The original was the 1963 Jimmy Reed hit.

groovy to the 9th

He has a great voice you would not think it was a white man they sound good to gether

The music sounds like the music on the song "Clean up Woman", by Betty Wright.

Harri have a listen to Shirley's earlier hit from 1956 "Let The Good Times Roll" by Shirley and Lee

💃🏻🕺🏻👍🏻

Next Friday play ...Wild Cherry, play that funky music

Omg sounds like u might have a good voice!

I was somewhat familiar with this song, but I always thought it was done by a female solo artist.
