SHIRLEY & COMPANY
Shirley & Company fue un grupo disco estadounidense, formado por Shirley Goodman (1936–2005), Jason Alvarez (ahora pastor), Walter Morris, Bernadette Randle, Seldon Powell, Jonathan Williams, Kenny Jeremiah y Clarence Oliver.
Encabezaron la lista Dance de EE.UU. en 1975 con "Shame, Shame, Shame" (U.S. Pop # 12), y les fue extremadamente bien en Europa: la canción alcanzó el # 6 en la lista de singles del Reino Unido y el # 1 en Austria, Bélgica, Alemania, y los Países Bajos.
"Shame, Shame, Shame"
"Shame, Shame, Shame" fue escrita y producida por Sylvia Robinson, quien era copropietaria del sello discográfico All Platinum. Estaba destinado al artista de All Platinum, Donnie Elbert. Fue Robinson quien emparejó a la veterana vocalista de blues Shirley Goodman con el artista de All Platinum, Jesús (Jason) Alvarez.
La pista, con su uso destacado del ritmo de Bo Diddley, fue uno de los primeros éxitos disco internacionales y alcanzó el número 12 en las listas de Billboard.
También alcanzó el número uno en la lista de singles de soul durante una semana. "Shame, Shame, Shame" también fue número uno en la lista disco/dance durante cuatro semanas.
No obstante, fue el único éxito de este grupo; la canción fue lanzada por primera vez en el LP "Shame, Shame, Shame" en 1974 y registrada y publicada posteriormente en 1975.
La cantante principal Shirley Goodman, era la mitad del dúo Shirley and Lee, que tuvo un gran éxito 18 años antes, en 1956, escribiendo y grabando la canción "Let The Good Times Roll" para Aladdin Records.
Jesús Alvarez cambió su nombre a Jason Alvarez y se convirtió en pastor de la Iglesia de la Familia Amor de Jesús. Grabó varios álbumes de gospel.
Letra
Ooh I feel somethin' baby
And I want you to know about it
See I want you to feel it, too
So just listen to me baby
And I want you to know about it
See I want you to feel it, too
So just listen to me baby
Can't stop me now hear what I say
My feet want to move so get out my way
I'm gonna have my say
I'm going to every discotheque
I'm gonna dance dance dance dance ooh
'Till the break of day I say
My feet want to move so get out my way
I'm gonna have my say
I'm going to every discotheque
I'm gonna dance dance dance dance ooh
'Till the break of day I say
Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can't dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can't dance too
If you can't dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can't dance too
Don't stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can't stop the groove
'Cause you just won't move
Got my sunroof down
Got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
If you don't I ain't comin' back
If you get the notion
You can't stop the groove
'Cause you just won't move
Got my sunroof down
Got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
If you don't I ain't comin' back
Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can't dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can't dance too
If you can't dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can't dance too
If you don't want to go
Remember one monkey don't stop no show
My body needs action ain't gonna blow
Yes I'm going out and find a dancin' man
Remember one monkey don't stop no show
My body needs action ain't gonna blow
Yes I'm going out and find a dancin' man
