Shame, Shame, Shame by Shirley & Company
“Shirley & Company was an American disco group, consisting of Shirley Goodman (1936–2005), Jesus Alvarez, Walter Morris, Bernadette Randle, Seldon Powell, Jonathan Williams and Clarence Oliver. They topped the U.S. Dance chart in 1975 with "Shame Shame Shame" (U.S. Pop #12), and reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart. But, the follow-up, "Cry Cry Cry," only made it to #91 on the Hot 100 later that year. #aweekofdisco”

Uuuow!
The Nixon cover art...sublime.
Picked up from a brief snippet on RadioSoulwax's Disco mix, great slice of funk/soul.
In the mid-80s, I was a finely honed athletic type. Well when I say finely honed, I regularly played football, so I was at the peak of my athletic powers. Ok, ok, I was in reasonable nick & pre-match training involved several beers & an earlyish Friday night/Saturday morning. The reason for the return time 'grey area', was a wee bar which had a 2am late licence & 70s disco night. Always packed, always fun. On one such eve, the assembled male oglers, salivated over a rather fetching blonde lass. Charged with a few light ales & realising that no-one else dared engage this 'vision', I rose to the challenge. Red rag to she bull! Surrounded by her friends, my opening gambit was met with a degree of indifference, though she did remove one of the straws from her drink, seductively lick the end of it & place it in my glass. Brilliant! I laughed uproariously & returned to the bosom of my buddies, a bloodied but unbowed hero. I heard this toon today & was right back there in the moment. Love it.
