Shirley & Company ~ Shame Shame Shame 1975 Disco Purrfection Version

[@rideandsmile822]

Born 69, hearing it 2023. Greetings from a portuguese/german

[@dawnpaige3648]

1975 I was 15 years old when this song was out. My mother definitely love this song as well. This was her favorite song shame shame shame by Shirley and company. She would play this song and start dancing on the floor. We had the 45rpm as well. To my mom rest in peace!!! Your daughter Dawn miss you!!!

[@laz0rama]

same age here, i saw her live in nyc at the beacon theater that year.

[@rosischmid7144]

Shame shame shame on you if you never danced to this great song 💥💥💥💥💥

[@1heliconius]

Late seventies at the Dial Tone Lounge, Hatfield Massachusetts. Still in high school, 18 yrs old and yes we drank a lot. And we all drove home really drunk. Our whole soccer team would get up and dance to this song. Crazy Times, Crazy Song, Wow we had fun!!!

[@brianjohnson9473]

This was big hit in 74 at the dance we tore up the dance floor when this song came on I still love it. On the radio 📻 all day.

[@johnmcgloson6570]

I WISH IT WAS A TIME MACHINE TO TAKE ALL US BACK TO THE 1970S

[@MrEscobar2000]

A M E N 🙏🙏

[@laz0rama]

i second that emotion!!!

[@AHC63]

I was 12 when this came out - I still have the 45.

[@mylesken6122]

I do also as well as a re issue that bought a couple of years back.

[@dalerowan8148]

AWSOME I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG TOO.

[@Nadia-wx7dg]

Io l’ho perso durante qualche trasloco. Anche io avevo 12 anni ed è stato uno dei primi dischi acquistati. 👍🌈

[@thomastarwater6035]

SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU IF YOU CAN'T DANCE TOO!!!!! Wow, this song takes me back to the 1970s when I was still in my teens. Thank you DiscoCat for working up this extended jam. Takes me back to the day when AM radio played this disco jam between the Rolling Stones, ABBA, Bob Seger and the O'Jays. Except for a few radio stations here and there, these days am gone forever. Until you listen to DiscoCat's masterwork, then those days are back.

[@RuthlessDJs]

Thomas Tarwater fantastic vocals 👍🏻

[@Ken-bj5ce]

What a great dance song, you just can't sit this one out, extended version just adds to the dance fun.

[@markmurphy8778]

Could mix this purrfectly with ‘rock your baby’ 👍😎

[@steveeaton9126]

Naturally!

[@precisionbrown6829]

Same chords

[@johnjohnson8670]

two of my fav turn bax...that would b wild

[@EileenPCarryEPC]

Happy B’day Shirley! Your music is always on the playlist! 🎶💃🏻🎵*•

[@tracibradley2984]

Yesssss I was 14yrs old when this song came out it was one of my favorite songs to dance to. Times were so fun and care-free back then.

[@terrystroud200]

Just think.this mixed with Rock Your Baby.also Rock the Boat.!!DAmn miss this stuff!!

[@francoisp71]

In 1975, i was 4 and always i was a greatest dancer. Thanks to my dad Who listened this.

[@WupWup68]

I was 7 when this came out. Loved it then, still love it now, so many years later. One of the true epic 70's songs!

[@janicechaudhury6043]

Remembering doing "the bump" when this was playing back then.

[@donaldfewell8908]

Yes, and the double bump!

[@sarahbiddle4915]

This music beats the crap they have today....hands down

[@calebproductions5970]

Definitely. The soul sure isn't there at all.

[@yvo3770]

Shamed to say that after 61 years i have heard this glorious blast of music

[@radamik]

Dancing to this in painters pants and a pullover shirt with a design of a shooting star on it, with clear ribbed plastic belt and tan canvas and rubber shoes - platform shoes and polyester “dress” pants were too uncomfortable. Everything about the 70s, fashion, music, style, were far more varied than people today think.

[@roseannemunroe8162]

hot pants, halter tops, chino pants, cut off jeans, denim jumpsuits, bandanas on my head or neck to catch the sweat, by 2am my shoes were off, and so was my make up....the 1970's.....50 years ago...but time of my life!

[@jacquelineiona1996]

Shirley....a musical force...I was 11 years old and loved this ...thanks Mom...she always brought records home ❤️

[@mylesken6122]

Even babies like to dance. One afternoon, years ago, I was holding my baby cousin, he was about 5 months old. A dance tune was playing and I held him in a stand position. Baby Bryant began to jump up and down. His mother was near by and I said to her, Loretta look ---- Bryant is dancing. She looked and smiled. Dancing is a pleasureable non-violent activity. Thanks for the posting.

[@satren2110]

Sunroof down & my diamond in the back ! ...... May 2018 - driving through Switzerland today with this playing on full volume....Live it !!!!! X

[@gloriaalbertus]

Good old days still love it

[@broncodeviltexas]

Great vocals by both singers on this.

[@stevetaylor5933]

17 in 75, East London, was great back then, god bless all you who were there, 6 months later I was serving in Northern Ireland, totally mad part of my life, but would change absolutely nothing, apart from terry, god rest mate

[@LeeLeeWilliams-1908]

Love this version!!! Love Shirley’s voice and the male vocalist Jesus Alvarez has so much soul in his voice. 💃🏾 💃🏾

[@morganalvarez5925]

This is by far the best song ever for dancing

[@rubymcnair2974]

I grew up on this song I love this song❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daveyhouston]

[@notmebutyou8350]

They also made a political version for the show “Treme” on HBO. It’s a great song!

[@syhooverman5418]

Your post is VERY interesting. I knew NOTHING of this when i was dancing to this WONDERFUL disco track in the mid 70s Still love it today even now im 58.

[@georgestanecjr8547]

Got my fire engine red Buick with a gold strip, mag wheels, white leather interior in 1975 and the windows down and Shame, shame, shame was on the radio. Everybody heard it, till I shut my car off.

[@georgerivera8834]

Love the remix

[@robh699]

Classic track, one of the best tunes played in the disco,s thanks

[@marysoares1598]

The very best this we need more of today lots more.

[@Multi1628]

~ This was our New Orleans' own Shirley Mae Goodman (R.I.P.), famous as one half of Shirley & Lee, already popular in the Crescent City for "Feel So Good" & "Let The Good Times Roll." We played Shame for weeks, 7" a & b sides, producing insanity on the dance floor. One day it is daylight and I am walking to the hotel club where I am in residence, and this was playing on the radio blaring into the streets of the French Quarter. That is when I knew we had arrived: club DJs and their favourites were going mainstream on top 40 radio. Pretty soon disco was the #1 radio format, toppling every other genre format. A heady time indeed until Reagan & AIDS, and music has come full circle for several decades, right back to disco, proto-disco, nu-disco, and like was said in 1981: Call It What You Want (Bill Summers), but it is all the rhythm & funk & soul of the USA. The great melting pot. Still is in 2018 - Hats off to a living legend, Irma Thomas!! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

[@glenmcculley9752]

This sounds Motown to me thanks for the back story. My father's music..peace

[@v-town1980]

And now there's garbage like hip-hop.

[@jacquelinelee3570]

[@gustavericson7794]

[@andylafontaine8085]

I seem to recall this playing in one of my first under age ventures into the Ruptured Duck Disco. DJ Rudy wore sunglasses, simple mirror ball, candles on every table. Ahhh, the good ole days.

[@juanfrancopolanco1955]

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, marcó el inicio de un gran estilo musical de la época dorada. Simplemente bello.

[@dalerowan8148]

Love this song you just want to get up and dance dance. Sing away with this song.

[@hollisterevans2745]

Playing around in the studio, David Bowie eventually used this song as the inspiration for his song, "Fame".

[@ElliotFlowers]

Music misses God.

[@topkekceceli5125]

Bring the real disco back

[@robertodiniro6819]

The movie pride had this

[@racineurr.8924]

Missing you say. When I listen to that, I think I died the day disco died. In one's life there are always best times. And God, disco was the best of all the bet times. You had to be there. And lucky me, lucky us, we were. And don't fool ourselves. it won't come back only for memories. So sad.

[@terrylaissy3313]

Love this groove! Hustle time baby!

[@redfish9809]

Love me, some Shirley and Co.!

[@davidb3702]

I grew up in Boston listening to WBCN, when DJs could play what they wanted. You'd hear Ted Nugent, the Rolling Stones, and then something like this. Man, those were the days when radio was radio. None of this satellite, pre-programmed crap.

[@ElliotFlowers]

I'm hearing you Neil Young!

[@dalerowan8148]

I GREW UP IN VERMONT WE USED TO LISTEN TO WTRY OUT OF TROY NY. USED TO LISTEN TO CASY CASIM ON THE WEEKENDS TO THE TOP 100 SONGS OF THAT WEEK. I HAD MY RADIO TUNED IN TO THE TUNES 24 7 BACK THEN. CAN'T TURN THE CLOCK BACK. BUT STILL HAVE GREAT MEMORIES OF THE 60S AND 70S. SEEMS THINGS WERE SO DIFFERENT BACK THEN THAN TODAY. WAS A LONG TIME AGO BUT NOT SO LONG AGO IN OUR MINDS.

[@Xsplot]

I had a mobile disco when this came out. I wore out 3 copies on 45rpm. It was my biggest special request.

[@Ken-bj5ce]

WMID from Atlantic City use to play the extended version frequently, the station is under new management and I hope they pickup where they left off.
