I was a Mixologist (DJ) back in the Motor City at Shirley's Lounge on W. McNichols when this song came out. Somebody came in the club and requested this song, which I didn't have. Went to the record store down the street and got it. Next night at the club, this song got everybody on the dance floor. I'm now 75 years and still playing this song. Thanks Shirley!
