OMG HIS VOICE SHOCKED US!!! SHIRLEY AND COMPANY - SHAME SHAME SHAME (REACTION)

[@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

[@lindawhite5006]

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

[@TheCornishCockney]

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

[@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!

[@TheCardiffgirl]

Join the club!😂🤣

[@katherinecarroll986]

Oh yes, same here. Best years for tearing up the floor. Great memories. Great songs and music. Shame, shame, shame is on my Playlist, I still dance to it. Lol, of course not as good as back in the day. Keep dancing!!! I believe his name is James Alvarez..if memory serves me. 🫶👍

[@ajruther67]

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!

[@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.

[@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!!!! 🔥🔥

[@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!!!!

[@hazelanglin5907]

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

[@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❤️🤞

[@tonyrussi7777]

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

[@emanuelsanders2030]

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

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

[@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!😆

[@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.

[@haroldstella1398]

The start of DISCO!! AWESOME!! 💃🏾🕺🏾

[@raerae3844]

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

[@davidaflorance1926]

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

[@garytom1935]

Awesome cool jam yeah 👍😎👌🎤🎤

[@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.

[@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

[@maureenwagg5305]

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

[@marcussmith3934]

Look at the look on your face Mel you look shocked!!!

[@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.

[@shinsarim4902]

god lord his voice is out of this world i love it! he got so much style

[@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

[@robrobertson4619]

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

[@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.

[@cristinasullivan812]

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

[@lilpoohbear653]

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

[@TheRabrial]

...And he's Cuban! a fellow countryman! 😎😎

[@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. :)

[@johnnytroyano8870]

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

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

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

[@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.

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

[@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."

[@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.

[@jacqueline4514]

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

[@bettykambetsis896]

In my 70's now and remember this so well. We had really great music then. You young ones dont know what you are missing!

[@wayneking7050]

..lol thanks for the memories of being on the dance floor (drunker than a skunk) dancin the nite away to this song. I"m 68 now and this is the first time to see them sing this song. Loved your reactions, they were great and funny.

[@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”

[@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.

[@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.

One year later and still a guilty pleasure.

What a song this was,pure talent,love this.

[@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 🤩

[@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”

Great Song. thanks for bringing that memory back.

[@JoseMunoz-cb1nr]

Great comments, you feel it 😊

[@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.

[@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!

[@ddwchamp]

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.

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.

Absolutely loved your reaction. How big your eyes got, when he started. 😄👍

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.

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.

[@robintexas91]

just watching you both react so energetically to this song totally made my Friday night!! :)

[@5223lp51]

The expressions on your faces when the guy started to sing were priceless. I might have looked the same way. We didn't see that coming, right? The rest of your comment was also very nice. Watching this song together with you is better than watching it alone. Thanks for this.
