"Green Onions" by Booker T & The MGs.

[@johnathandavis3693]

My mom passed a few years ago -this was HER music. She had the 45 of this record, and would play it once in while and dance in the kitchen, back in the early 70's. And she could GROOVE. I'm 61 now. Thanks for the memory....Miss you, mom...

[@Jims_Camera_at_dawn]

A GO GO faded, but in came The Discotech, then they dropped the tech, and it was just Disco. (I may have some misspellings.)

[@bjdefilippo447]

I miss my mom dancing in the kitchen too. Great music, and the feeling that everything was right with the world, at least in that moment.

[@kimcutts6153]

You see, the thing is that now, no one goes out to the clubs anymore! And thats where the disco's were. The dancers in the cages were employed to do that. Please would you react to Booker T & The MG's "Green Onions" 1962. No lyrics, its an "Instrumential" but its a great tune. ❤🎼

[@jacqueline4514]

Same! My father used to play his Jr. Walker album and I would dance around the living room. I play this and "What Does It Take" when I want to be close to him.

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)" !!!! Junior Walker does lead vocals and sax solos!!!

[@tmr626]

Oh yea, that sax is killer! You'll find an awesome extended version of this song that runs 4:21 minutes to double your sax pleasure. Two other songs with great sax work is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty and "Year Of The Cat" by Al Stewart.

"What Does it Take (To Win Your Love)?" is a funky groove ballad by Junior Walker & the All Stars. It should NOT be missed!!!

[@MikeB-in1nd]

What does it take is one of my favorite songs period. Peter White also coved it and it’s amazing!

[@TheCornishCockney]

One of my favourite Motown cuts. Junior Walker was a big part of Motown for me. How Sweet It Is was another banger with plenty of groovy sax.

[@belenalcantar9075]

So funky, so fun, and YES, you HAD to get out on that dance floor. An absolute classic. ✌️

[@taun856]

I am a child of the 60's and I grew up with 5 sisters (!). I remember watching each of them practice each new dance craze for hours at a time. It seemed like a new dance came out almost weekly. As for a band form the 60's that you haven't covered yet, I don't recall seeing a reaction to Peter, Paul and Mary who were huge in the folk scene then. A few of their songs that come to mind are "Blowing the Wind", "500 Miles", "If I had a Hammer" and one your kids would enjoy "Puff The Magic Dragon".

[@SK-lk3iu]

They have reacted to "Puff..." and "Blowin in the Wind"....easy to find under Search function.

All good suggestions. I would like to add Leaving On A Jet Plane to the list. I actually prefer their cover version over the original John Denver recording, even though he wrote it.

[@cjk5115]

This is one of those songs that if you're not grooving to it, there's an excellent chance you have expired. That intro alone, with the drums and that wailing sax...right before the vocals hit. Just outstanding, and I love how you noted the dancing from this show, too. You can tell everyone is having such a great time with this song. Great reaction, guys.

Junior Walker & The All Stars Profile: American R&B and soul outfit, & one of the Motown signature acts in the 1960's. Originally "The Rhythm Rockers," they became "The All Stars", & in 1961 they were recommended to Harvey Fuqua who signed them to his label Harvey (2). When Fuqua's labels were taken over by Motown's Berry Gordy, Jr. Walker & The All Stars became members of the Motown Records, recording for their Soul label in 1964. While 1965 saw the release of their signature hit "Shotgun," they remained active on the charts through to 1972, disbanding in 1979.

[@markfadness9204]

"Shotgun" was Jr. Walker's breakthrough record in 1965. The label was Soul ( along with Tamla, part of the Motown labels). "Shotgun" peaked @ #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 for 4 weeks on the R&B chart. In 1969, Jr. Walker & the All-Stars had their 2nd Top 10 hit "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love For Me)" that also peaked @ #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also peaked @ #1 for 4 weeks on the R&B chart. Jr Walker is the saxophonist on Foreigner's great "Urgent."

[@swradios]

Jr. Walker was born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr. on June 14, 1931, in Blytheville, Arkansas, but grew up in South Bend, Indiana (My hometown). He began playing saxophone while in high school, and his saxophone style was the anchor for the sound of the bands he later played in. Saw them live in Benton Harbor, Mi

[@poppingjaz]

Funny thing is Walker wasn't supposed to sing on this track. He did the vocals because the singer who was supposed to do this track didn't show up for his session.

[@SolarTiger]

I went to school with his daughter in Battle Creek, MI in the 60s...he lived here while touring later in his career and is buried here in Oak Hill...cool marker too!

[@loriparks8805]

Naptown is in the 🏘️

[@anneje71]

Amber you mentioned the girls in the boxes. They were very popular in the 60's and it was an honor to dance there. They were called the Go-Go Girls.

[@danielb2993]

Back in the mid 90's I had just dealt with a crabby customer at work and called the local radio station request line and requested this song to get me dancing and vent some frustration. They actually played the song and my voice requesting it. Shortly thereafter the regional supervisor called up and asked if everything was going alright. She was listening to the same radio station and recognized my voice. Wanted to know if I needed any time off. We had a good laugh. Thanks for the fun memory.

[@Jude_196]

P. S. Dancing "in the boxes" was a "thing" in clubs, way-back-when....the Go-Go dancers in their white vinyl boots and/or fringed dresses would get in the box to showcase their groove moves!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@oldiesgeek454]

I thought they were called "Cages". 😊

I grew up with this music in the 60’s. I loved dancing this one. I can mash potatoe, do the jerk, do the dog, the twist, the watusie, and many others. I also loved dancing a 1962 one by the Contours. Do You Love Me.

I’m a Blues guy - ran three annual Blues Fests for 15 yrs, did 5 yrs on the radio doing “the Blues Never Die” and owned a Blues Club in the 90’s (a great decade for the blues thanks to SRV) I’d put this on between live band sets, for all the dancers! Peace

[@minxiv7]

Oh my lord, here we go! This was always on the back yard BBQ, grown folks playlist! You wanna see my grandparents get up and get down, play this one ❤ say it again, Amber! TikTok ain’t got nothing in the 60’s! Another great song that you haven’t done yet, Edwin Starr’s “25 Miles”. If you liked what Junior Walker & the Allstars gave you, you will love what Edwin Starr is serving ❤

[@TheCornishCockney]

Edwin was so knocked out by the welcome the Motown stars got from everyone in England with no racism or segregation,he decided to live here and became a Duke or an Earl in Warwickshire in middle England. Died here too,RIP.

[@richardkint6531]

Junior Walker was the featured saxophonist. You can also hear him on Foreigner's song "Urgent". Looking for a dance craze song checkout Bobby Freeman's "C'mon and Swim". Cool Jerk is another dance song from the Capitols. Junior Walker biggest hit is "What Does It Take". Not a dance song but a cool sax song. Very Happy you did some 60's for a change.😃

[@DonWoods-dp8ur]

I was wanting to say hello to the both of you. It makes me so happy to see young people like you going back and finding the good ole music. I'm 70 years old and the 1960 's wasn't a easy time in America. "However we had some damn good music. "Keep up the good work.

This is one of those "clear The Dancefloor! We bout's to get down!" joints! It still holds fire all these decades later. RIP Mr. Walker.

[@joyceedwards2708]

If you love 60s dance music, you have to react to Archie Bell & the Drells, “Tighten Up”, “I could dance all night”, “I can’t stop dancing”, “Let’s groove” & “There’s gonna be a showdown”

[@alanmusicman3385]

Archie Bell's "Here I Go Again" (from the early 1970s) is a great track which is sadly neglected. Later hits like "Soul City Walk", "I Could Dance All Night" and "Disco Showdown" (all made for Phildelphia records) still sound pretty good.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

"Home Cookin'", "What Does it Take to win your love" are other notables by Jr..Or you can always hear him tear it up on Foreigner's "Urgent"..He was real popular as a session player for other artists.

[@cheryljackson5659]

Thanks so much for this comment! I was trying to remember Jr. Walker’s great solo on Foreigner’s Urgent! The man was a beast on that sax!

[@stevenblock9712]

A big #1 hit by Jr. Walker was "What Does It Take?". I think you would like it. His group was in Motown and much later, in the '80's, he played sax behind Foreigner. Guys, if you don't already know all about Motown, you really should read up on it. It is a terrific and interesting success story.

[@forwardpeace]

The other really big hit by Jr. Walker was What Does It Take (to Win Your Love). It is a GREAT song. So is this one.

[@clutch236]

Song from "Misery" when novelist Paul Sheldon was driving too fast in the snow, right before going off cliff....Good reaction!

Also react to these songs by Jerry Butler, nicknamed "The Iceman" for his smooth, cool singing voice and style. 1."For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler and The Impressions (slow song)/1958 2. "Hey, Western Union Man" by Jerry Butler/1968 3. "Only The Strong Survive" by Jerry Butler/1968 (This song was covered by multiple artists after him)

[@jonstreng7850]

If you loved this one, which I can clearly see you do, there are two instrumentals that are great. They are Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's or Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy. They are both outstanding 👍.

[@alanmusicman3385]

Nah - IMO Green Onions is a superb and iconic first 30 seconds followed by a couple of minutes of wondering what to do next. To me, "Time is Tight" is a far better track and builds up all through - never letting up.

Jr. Walker & the All Stars "What does it Take" (1969). For some more great 60s, try "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett (1965).

[@kevincaulder96]

I'm so happy. Amber has a new move. Go ahead, girl. You don't have these moves anymore because break dancing, aerobics, and hip-hop high jack the need to be creative. The older dances were a natural progression of freestyle based on the music. Anyone could do them. Most of us learned from shows like American Bandstand, Soul Train, Shindig, Solid Gold, Hullabaloo, etc. As the trends and music changed, so did the dance moves. Also, Foreigner has a song called URGENT that features Jr. Walker on the solo. It is a blast !! To follow up on this song, you want WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WIN YOUR LOVE. Finally, Billy Preston has a fantastic instrumental hit titled OUTTA SPACE. You guys should really take a minute and fill your ears with this searing blast of energy. No words. Just pure distilled soul to move your feet and pivot your backbone to. Enjoy

[@littleogeechee223]

OMG! How many times did my sister and our cousin and I dance to this as little girls! We’d turn it up and just go wild! So fun! You must now react to “What Does It Take (to Win Your Love For Me)?

[@rlbkc9963]

Great choice. Here's another one you might try. I don"t think you've done it, is "Green Onions" By Booker T & the MGs. Its an instrumental. But It's a great song for the "Twist". Another great tune with the Hammond B3 organ.

[@robynmatheson7687]

How about “Soul Limbo” by Booker T? I still love that song today- I find that many don’t remember it.

[@sweisbrod6109]

The girls up in the boxes (go-go dancers) were there to show everybody the moves for each new dance.....and there were a ton of new dances! They usually wore white boots (go-go boots) so you could see the moves easier. You guys probly already covered this one but Shout by the Isley Brothers (from Cincinnati) was another "gotta dance" song.

[@venus5019]

This is a fond memory. My aunt used to collect 45s. My grandfather had the beloved stereo cabinet record player. Motown & the era songs would blast on Saturday/Sunday throughout the day while cleaning & grandma was cooking. Similar to Bill Cosby show, our grandkids would make up dances & lip sync in backyard when had barbecue while my parents, aunts & uncles w/ grandparents judge our routines. It also was part of the music when went roller skating on 'colored Wednesday' (only day for blacks to skate). Listen on radio when went to mall or go to out to eat.

[@peternicholson4839]

Great reaction. I was so spoilt in the 60s and 70s growing up in Liverpool listening to Motown, Philly sounds etc, and of course the Beatles. It was such a great time to be. Way back home is my fav Jr Walker song. Keep it going guys👍

[@jaycooper2624]

I was lucky enough to catch Junior and The All Stars in his prime on a 1967 tour of the UK - He Blew Us Away!!! A really funny guy, we were amazed at how he belted out that great sax with vocals to match. BTW, his real name was Autry DeWalt Mixon Jnr, the "Walker" came from his childhood predilection for walking everywhere. Sadly he died at the early age of 64 in 1995. Check out his "Greatest Hits", "Road Runner", "Shake And Fingerpop", "Do The Boomerang", "How Sweet It Is", "Pucker Up Buttercup" and "What Does It Take ( To win your love?)" - for starters!

I was a kid in the 80’s. During the 80’s they sold ALOT of compilation records on TV. I remember this song being featured on one of these commercials for an R&B/soul record compilation. At this age I was too young to differentiate between different kinds of music. But the 5 second clip they used if this song has stuck with me for four decades. I am now a huge huge fan of soul and R&B (it’s my favorite musical genre for the reasons Amber said. You can feel it in your bones). I credit Junior Walker and the All-Stars and Shotgun for starting me on that path.

[@AmericanShia786]

Thanks for reacting to Shotgun. This song never gets old! Jr. Walker and the All-Star had other hits, but the only one that hit about as big as Shotgun was What Does It Take (To Win Your Love). His version of How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You was pretty big as well. There were lots of little hits of the Shotgun album as well, I'm a Road Runner being top 20. These Eyes was fairly big as well. Foreigner had Jr. Walker play the Tenor Sax solo on the huge hit Urgent almost 20 years after Shotgun read the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Shotgun topped the R&B singles chart.

Those girls dancing "in the boxes" Amber are called Professional Go Go Dancers who for some unknown reason danced in "cages". I think the goal was to get others to see them and then dance along too.

My family would spend the summer camping in the 60'. We would camp, but the place had a pool, a stable to ride horses. For the teens, they would have a dance at nights. The one song I remember playing over and over, was My Guy, by Mary Wells.

Dad played this album when I was growing up, and let me tell you, SHOTGUN, released in 1965 (2 years before I was born) hits harder than most of the music I went clubbing to in the 80's, in NYC no less. Happily remember dancing around the living room with pure abandon, lol! Dad passed, but I play it for him when I want to remember those times ❤

Jr Walker played the Sax solo on Foreigner's hit song Urgent from 1981! His version of how sweet it is to be loved by you is amazing! Shotgun waa the musical inspiration for Steve winwood's song "roll with it"!

[@jeffmorse645]

I didn't know that! His sax MADE that song for Foreigner!

"Shotgun" was one of the top hits of 1965. I agree with the others who say you should listen to Jr. Walker and the All-Stars on the 1969 hit, "What Does It Take to Win Your Love." Jr. Walker and the All-Stars were one of the great Motown groups. But there's another '60s band that was known for its instrumental music that was just dripping with soul and funk. Check out "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the M. G.'s. Booker T. and the M. G.'s were also the "house band" for Stax Records, another label that was home for mostly black artists, including some timeless acts like Isaac Hayes (of "Theme from 'Shaft'," which, if you haven't already done that, you've missed out on an iconic piece of music.)

Nice.. Was waiting for y'all to react to this. This was a dancefloor banger in the 60's. There was even a dance to this that my aunt taught me.. very similar to the Jerk. I wish the video you watched had the original shotgun sound effect at the beginning. It was so recognizable and that would set off the dancefloor like crazy. As for more 60s.. you gotta hear Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming.

[@panamas6865]

Yes! That shotgun blast at the beginning is EVERYTHING!

Kicking the amp (amp with reverb)

Yeah Sam & Dave's repertoire contains some all-time greats.
