Harlem Shuffle

The Harlem Shuffle is a dance that was popular in the '50s and '60s originating in Harlem ballrooms. Harlem is a section of New York City with a large black population.

This was originally recorded by the R&B duo Bob and Earl in 1969. Their version, which was produced by Barry White, hit #7 in the UK. Keith Richards wanted to record this for quite a while. He would put the original version on demo tapes for Mick Jagger. The Bob and Earl version was sampled on the House Of Pain hit "Jump Around."

In 1964, The Stones released a cover of The Valentinos' "It's All Over Now." Bobby Womack, who wrote that song and sang lead on the original, sang backup on this and other songs on Dirty Work.
