I'm from this era, blacks and whites enjoyed and loved each other! It makes me sad the division the gov is causing today!

[@pettyguy64]

The 70s was a fantastic time to be a teen. The diversity of the music, and the quality, was off the charts!

[@susanelkins3068]

Agreed!!!!!!!!! ♥

[@70srocknroll]

It sure was

[@greg2976]

If we can only go back to those days! Those were the days my friend.......!

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

I had an awesome time. Dancing til 2am three times a week.

[@romystumpy1197]

Most definitely full of energy to dance to

[@ridingtheroad185]

What you just said...from the mid 60's and 70's were so good to be young in....now we're wondering what happened to the world!!

[@Rolandb48]

When the disco era hit I was in the thick of it! When this song would play at the clubs people would pack the dance floor, you’d have to almost fight for a position on the floor! 😊👍

[@eviekelpie1]

I was on the disco floor every weekend at 17/18. So much fun. Best times ever!

[@lindabergman3127]

Oh yes😁great times👏👏👏👏

[@tsonofjohnson489]

@@eviekelpie1 Same here and loved it! I would lose 7lbs every weekend from dancing! oh🥳, great times!

Shirley & Company was an American disco group, consisting of Shirley Goodman (1936-2005), Jason Alvarez [birth name Jesús Álvarez] born December 28, 1951 (now a pastor) "Shame, Shame, Shame" (released December 1974) was written and produced by Sylvia Robinson, who was a co-owner of the All Platinum record label. It was intended for All Platinum artist Donnie Elbert. It was Robinson who paired veteran blues vocalist Shirley Goodman with All Platinum artist Jesus Alvarez.The track, with its prominent use of the Bo Diddley beat, was one of the first international disco hits and reached number 12 on the Billboard charts. It also hit number one on the soul singles chart for one week. "Shame, Shame, Shame" also went number one on the disco/dance chart for four weeks. The full-length LP Shame, Shame, Shame was recorded subsequently and came out in 1975. The lead singer Shirley Goodman, was one half of the duo Shirley and Lee who had a mega hit 18 years earlier, in 1956, writing and recording the song "Let The Good Times Roll" for Aladdin Records. Jesus Alvarez changed his name to Jason Alvarez and became a pastor for the Love of Jesus Family Church.He recorded several gospel albums.

[@eviekelpie1]

Wow thanks for the info

[@stevenbarton4489]

S&M you hit this one out of the park!!! I remember busting a move to this song back in the 70's, in fact I was busting a move listening to this during breakfast this morning. Back in the late 60's and 70's we didn't have this racial division that we do today and our common love for the music brought us together. All races would come to the dances or discotheque and enjoy each other's company. Keep the groove and you'll have the move!!! Thank you! Stevie B.

[@anaruedwin2777]

Too much!

[@templeman4]

Thank you A.J. for your wonderful liner notes on this outstanding song from Shirley Goodman. If I understand correctly later on she promoted one of the earliest rappers, Grandmaster Flash. She was quite a lady, wasn't she?

[@margaretgriffin3673]

Yes saw him on 700 club giving his testimony however I didn't know Ms Shirley passed away rest in power queen!

[@franknatoli7588]

I love to see the younger generation hearing my era in time we all got along.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Aaah,the glorious 70’s. We had us the BEST time. Shame shame shame you missed the party.

[@DEBBKIRK11171965]

Yessss!!! This is freaking amazing! All of us kids would be piled in the backseat of the Car, it was summertime, my Uncle who was the COOLEST would have the windows all the way down and this would be blaring on the radio!!!! I love it!!!! 🔥🔥

[@MegaSupergrover]

This is one of the best songs from the disco era. They are amazing! Just a beautiful, talented black woman and a handsome, talented Cuban man Jesus (later changed his name to Jason) who came together to create beautiful, fun music. No boobs hanging out/flopping around, no naked butts, no demeaning women... just pure raw talent. Autotune not required. R.I.P. beautiful Shirley. Both performers are just perfect together. Thank you for choosing this song to review. Keep up the good work.

[@pompanomark2024]

OMG the looks on your faces when he started to sing............you don't realize how much everyone loved this song back in '75.

[@nancysmith38]

Music is universal- No color boundaries- just love and feeling it down to your toes!!! 💕🌻

[@maryedwards8307]

Yesss! Remember how we were all connected by music❤️🤞

[@t.s.9656]

I spent my entire teens in the 70's, and of course this song was part of it.I thought I had all this stuff figured out, but I had no idea he sang that part. Thanks for the video.

[@joycewalbert1413]

I always pictures Eddie from the Temptations!!!! I was wrong!😆

[@tonyrussi7777]

Shirley had a 50's Rock N Roll Hit with "Let The Good Times Roll" as a duo Shirley & Lee.

[@eclconsulting]

The young man's name is Jesús Álvarez, now known as Jason Alvarez. Shirley is Shirley Goodman.

[@michaamuller1924]

Shirley Mae Goodman

[@j.c.crocker5151]

Black and white had it together back then, we partied together loved together, I'm 70 years ago and God I miss them days, and we came together every way possible.i wish it was that way now, black n white are close but not close enough. God bless both of y'all for what y'all do

[@pattytyndall1021]

I was a teen in the 70’s…BEST era of music EVER!!! We had classic rock, disco, blues, country…so awesome!

[@davidbarnes1113]

Omg . I haven’t heard this in decades!!! Thank y’all for posting this. My mom had this record. I would love to see y’all’s reaction to Melba Moore and her song “This Is It”. Her voice will knock you out.

[@romystumpy1197]

Me also forgot how good it was and how nice they looked the outfits

[@FUBAR1986]

Once again you bringing me back to my youth….. Love seeing cause I forgot how many mixed music groups there were during my youth

[@delisamarchetti5926]

It was so cool getting to see this video! I have danced to this song a million times. But I never knew who sang the song, We didn't have videos back then so when there was a new group the only place you could see them was on American Bandstand or Soul Train. Or maybe they would be on a variety show. That was so much fun. She was so full of personality it was shining like sunbeams out of her finger tips. Disco was definitely fun and happy music. If you loved to dance it got you moving. It did bring people together too. But...like everything there always has to be some people who get in there and spoil it, with commercialism, excess and drugs, this led to a lot of people getting hurt. Just like with the hippie movement in the 60's. The disco at the end of the decade was very different from how it started out., I think that is why it sadly kind of died out. But the music and the beat are still in my blood. :)

[@raerae3844]

Was a tune played all over the radio and Disco's in the UK 🇬🇧 back in 1975. These were Happy Days 😁

[@mildredpierce4506]

Meaning of diamond in the back. “a characteristic of early model cadillacs (1970s) used primarily by the urban community that was popularized in a classic song, "Be Thankful for What You Got" by one-hit wonder William Devaughn and has been covered and sampled many times over, most notebly in rap songs beginning in the early 90s. Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac Gangsta whitewalls TV antennas in the back You may not have a car at all But remember brothers and sisters You can still stand tall Just be thankful for what you've got Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene With a gangsta lean Gangsta whitewalls TV antennas in the back”

[@emanuelsanders2030]

Yet another dance anthem of the 70's! ! !

[@jeanearle2350]

Such a hugely underrated duo!!! They were fire together!!! Another great memory for me... I remember dancing with my little girl to this when she was about 3 and her singing "Shame, shame, shame on you... if you cant have stew..." It was hilarious. Thanks for bringing up another wonderful time in my life... excellent music lately so thanks to whoever is requesting this stuff!

[@phillipstephens4522]

You are experiencing a Mondegreen which is a misunderstood song lyric. The actual wording is "Shame, shame, shame on you if you can't dance too."

[@davidaflorance1926]

Hustling was 🔥was 12 back in 75 wasn't old enuf to go to the disco but danced all day anyway💃

[@cristinasullivan812]

Well young folks gotta start feeling the love, not for one but for all.

[@robberrobber5525]

I'm Brazilian. My uncle was a hippie in the 70s and in 1976 he had a portable record player. When he put on the LP with this song, I, at the age of 10, was dancing like crazy. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2017.

[@robrobertson4619]

Wow! A forgotten oldie! I haven’t heRd this for 40-50 years !!! Great reaction 👍

[@lordbyron3603]

This was one of my favorite songs back when. I’d be dancing my ass off at Studio One in West Hollywood!

[@lilpoohbear653]

they were havin a blast!!! great tune:) love how relaxed they are and they tore this song up!:)))))))

[@franktaylor2401]

How in the name of Almighty Yahweh did I never hear this before? This was fun from start to finish. Thanks to both of you.

[@ralphraucci5128]

Hello Frank, You Probably Never Heard It Because Your Way Younger Then Me . I was Born In 1960 And Remember This Song Well As I Was 14 When It Came Out. Grace and Peace, Ralph In CT

[@11dsw]

Heard this song a million times. I have not seen this video. It’s awesome. I like this song so much more now. Thank you. You’re right, I think the 7os seem to have the most fun and the best talent and styles. Disco was great in its infancy.

[@johndavidson5228]

First time ever hearing this song. How could I have missed it as I was around during the era. Sounds fantastic and you guys have a perfect reaction to it.

[@annasobeski9913]

I’m so glad your doing all the music from the 50s to the 70s. loved this song when it came out , loved disco. Back then all the metal heads had bumper stickers that said “ disco sucks”

[@ace6285]

Sitting here on the couch with a broken ankle, this song just saved my life. I’m dancin’ to this song over and over. Yes......this is what we need.Let’s party. She can sing but she can really dance.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Brilliant song!!. Oh my goodness!!. The amount of soul in both their vocals.. is perfection.

[@debratroeak77]

I haven’t heard this song in such a long time and thank you for showing the video. I never actually saw them, just heard them. Such passion and they look like they are having so much fun too 🤩

[@tiffanimorris7127]

My favorite song when i was 5 years old. I would sit by the radio waiting for this song to come on! I still love it!!!!

[@johnnytroyano8870]

Your reaction brought a big smile to my face. Great job

[@zealgope]

One year later and still a guilty pleasure.

[@jacqueline4514]

LOVE this one!!!! God, I was so young (5/6?) yet knew this was great!!! 😀

[@laminage]

This was played when My Aunt & Uncle renewed Their Vows. At Their Reception, it was played over and over again in 1975 and nobody really understood the words. They were too busy enjoying The Cocktails.

[@yarbles_]

That's awesome. I heard this on the radio and had to check KZbin to see who it was. What a voice!

[@reneewauchula]

Wow, I thought I'd heard all of them. I've never heard this one and it's amazing. The yeller at the first time hearing a lot of the things you're playing. It was a fantastic time to be a teenager and a young person.

[@bradleypaulus2926]

All these years I thought the man singing was black. This was one of the first disco songs I ever heard, in 1974 I think.

[@thathawaiiandude787]

I came just to watch your folks’ face when the dude turn was to come up😆🤣😂 I loved growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. We were spoiled with great music. 🎼🤘🏾🔥

[@meljaeccles3829]

Thank you Shawn and Mel, you are my absolute favourite reaction platform I just love you guys!! I'm in my seventies and one of the many things I'm thankful for is the great music I grew up with. "Thank you for the music" by ABBA is one I think you'll enjoy.

[@diamondwchamp]

One of my very favorites. This song takes me back to middle school. It really brings back memories and is still a wonderful hit for motivation. Thanks, Shawn & Mel for making my day.

[@larryduvall316]

You two are just great !!! I'm so glad I found ya here !! The LOVE you have for each shows and I respect you both for that !!! Please keep up the good work !!!!

[@carltonpaldo2566]

Man I tell you I was born in 1967 and I'm 57 now and I still love and listens to 70s music and I've always loved this song shame shame shame and I still don't know this white guys name until this day but this guy really made this song the hit song that it was and still is so hat's off to this guy if it had not been for your voice in this song it would not have been a hit song

[@nolansteiner4771]

just heard this song last year for the first time. love it! glad you found it too! Thanks for your fun reactions and great attitudes. Keep it up!

[@haroldstella1398]

The start of DISCO!! AWESOME!! 💃🏾🕺🏾

This was a completely enjoyable reaction. lmao I loved your faces when that guy started singing. lol Shirley and Company. The company just brought dessert. lol

[@hazelanglin5907]

In the 70's this a grest hit. I danced to it every day

[@danielc.8875]

The best ten years in music history. Its gone now forever never to return. But those who lived it will always have those memories.

[@savannahbos6343]

OMG... love that song back in the day but never seen the video thank you so much... you Beautiful people just put a smile on my face💕

[@sharonglover7221]

Got to believe it man! We were not torn up like today. We sang and danced and entertained TOGETHER. Nobody cared about skin color. It was more prominent starting in ths 70's. Soul Train REALLY contributed to bringing us together. They should the great artists offthe day!

[@richardpadilla7556]

I can't believe this is your first time hearing this. This is one song I can listen to over and over. This was just a perfect song with perfect chemistry.

[@eviekelpie1]

Wow thank you! Haven't heard this since my disco days and definitely didn't know what they looked like. Fabulous. We had the best music ever. So diverse!

[@moalleboanne]

[@jonnajois]

I have to comment - again! Love your reaction babes ❤ This was my very first hit that I fell in love with. NOW I found the sound and passion that I loved, and still love. Got the single then, and still make me move. Soul, funk, rnb/hiphop, just bring it, and I'm in. Wish this was more remembered.

[@donnawallace9938]

Whoever put these 2 together knew what they were doing. The mix of soul, power, fun in their voices is dynamite! And we loved it!! Great reaction! Love the look on your faces!

[@gxl5892]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! This is a great song!!!!! Reached #12 on the billboard charts. When I was a teenager my parents had this song playing all time in the car. Incredible vocals!!!! What a GEM that most people have never heard.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I don’t remember Shirley & Company but I remember hearing this song as a kid! That “Shame, shame, shame”❤ part is infectious! I remember singing that part! A real childhood flashback!😂

[@samuelgates5935]

I was 13 and now 63 and still is a funky catchy song🎵🎶🎶🥰🥰

[@MRVISTA-wz7vj]

This is my favorite video. All time. He's a preacher now. She's passed on. 😢

[@barbaratress3795]

What you were saying reminded me of a song from the O'Jays "I Love Music" Great song !

[@robinhiggins9479]

Right on! Just fun in the 70’s! We all just hung out together to dance and party. Hope those days resurrect, we need it!

[@HavocWWC]

Shirley Goodman (RIP) and Jason Alvarez really combined perfectly on this track.

[@richardcummins5465]

That rocked your boat guys didn't it? MAGICAL.

[@user-wy9ep9lc7y]

back in the 70s/80s, in my experience, people all loved each other, not as divisive messages as today. I miss that. hippies, disco, everybody loved each other.

[@michaellombard894]

I was amazed then and I'm amazed still!! Fantastic.

[@AAA-mb6qk]

I agree with pettyguy64! This song brought back great memories! I was a little kid in the seventies, but I still remember that great vibe! People...all people...and togetherness, we would spend the weekends jamming!I really appreciate my Mom giving me a huge exposure to all genres of music because it helped me grow into an adult who appreciates all music from all people, because in the end, we are all human beings with a story, living, loving & growing together with a little bit of tunes to help us along! I love y'all and your great chemistry, keep up the good work! Such a sweet vibe y'all send out! God bless!

[@deederr1740]

Love that it has you smiling and chair dancing!

[@lydmarl.475]

OMG I have not heard or thought about this hit back then, Woww so much to reminisce!

[@Boatzilla2]

I always hear this song (I was only 11), but I never saw the artists. Wow. What a couple. Fantastic.

[@robertsaladino7945]

IT was a Shocker and your both reactions were Amazing and Very Funny! Great dance song and good memories.. Thanks

70s. My disco years. 18 years old. Bell bottom jeans. 6” stacks. This music will make you feel good

[@ScottPothan]

Massive hit in London at all the clubs. I remember dancing to this on the coloured glass dance floor of the Sombrero Club in Kensington High Street summer of ‘75

[@rufscooby1]

they were great, he wrote most of the music and they sang it together, but gave her top billing because he was quoted as saying she is pure soul.

[@helgar791]

Shirley, from this group, had an earlier hit with a partner named Lee (Shirley and Lee). The song was "Let The Good Time Roll". If you haven't listened to that one give it a try. Disco, the music of love and inclusion.

[@rondmc44]

I'm old enough as a pre-teen to remember this song.... But I remember it didn't have a bass line, but I hear it now. The bass is in the background. This was AM radio back then

[@MrSh4des]

I had the same reaction when he started slapping those high notes.

[@rickyking1790]

Shirley of "Shirley & Lee" fame from the 1950's with "Let the Good Times Roll" fame!

[@bannedagain.8334]

Loved it when it came out and it's just as sharp and fresh. 👍

[@Dianne-warrior]

I love their voices together 😊❤
