ChetBassetti Date Submitted:  2020-05-11 [Archive Date: 2020-08-09] Genre:  General Original Artist:  Ian Matthews Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  A 1979 top 40...Joyce provided some great harmony backups that bailed me out... I think instead of calling them the Socialites...I prefer "The Symphonites" cuz it "fills your ears" with blended melodies..thanks Joyce! Ian Mathews is new to me..I remember this song but not him..thankfully..wikipedia to the rescue... "Shake It" had first been recorded by its composer Terence Boylan (listen to his version on https://youtu.be/k95l1bKqE9U ), being introduced on Boylan's 1977 self-titled album. Not chosen for US single release, Boylan's "Shake It" was given a 4 November 1977 single release in Ian Matthews's native UK; however Matthews had been living in the US since 1973, and it was on an FM radio station in Seattle that he first heard Boylan's "Shake It". After Matthews phoned the radio station for info on the track the disc jockey sent him a copy of the Terence Boylan album from which Matthews would "cover" two songs: "Shake It" and "Don't Hang Up Your Dancing Shoes"....Chet Duet with: Cantstopsinging Overall Rank:  Rank Unavailable Total Comments:  0 Listen:      [Be certain that Pop-ups are not blocked]
