Oh .. go on then, seeing as we've had one disco tune this morning why
not? A remix of Peaches & Herb's 1979 dance hit "Shake Your Groove Thing". Surprisingly, it is only 2:22 long so you won't have to suffer long
if this is your antithesis of soul music, we'd have expected the
standard dozen different mixes lasting into next Tuesday on this
one! You can tell it's a poor week for new material!
It was their second biggest hit after the ballad "Reunited" which was the follow up single. They were their only UK hits with
"Shake" reaching #26 and "Reunited" peaking at #4 on UK pop chart in early 1979. They hit the top spot on
both Billboard R&B and Hot 100 with "Reunited".
Peaches & Herb were originally Herb Fame (aka Herbert Feemster know
best to NS aficionados for his 1966 Van McCoy written and produced outing
on Date "You're Messin' Up My Mind" a storming Northern Soul floor filler)
and Francine Barker, who had been a member of The Darlettes later renamed
The Sweet Things who also had a NS stormer on Date with "I'm In A World Of
Trouble".
However, by the time the above songs were recorded Barker had been
replaced by Linda Greene, a member of The Andraé Crouch Choir.
