BOB AND EARL HARLEM SHUFFLE




SUE RECORDS 1969                                               Ilp 951











This duo of Relf and Nelson recorded several singles for different labels,

before "Harlem Shuffle" in 1963. The song was written by Relf and Nelson,

arranged by Barry White, and produced by Fred Smith. It was based on a number

called "Slauson Shuffletime" (named after a boulevard in Los Angeles) by

another Los Angeles singer, Round Robin. When released on the Marc label,

"Harlem Shuffle" became a modest hit on the R&B chart. Its vocal interplay

directly influenced later duos such as Sam and Dave. However, its main

success came as late as 1969, when it was re-released in the UK and became

a Top Ten hit there. Reportedly, George Harrison called it his favourite

record of all time
