[deathbybunga]

Some of those dancer chicks look like someone lit the fuse on their Tampax.

Damn this guy's good...

[bwes85]

[1408alan]

I defy anyone to keep their feet still during this. One of THE all time dance greats.

[shorelineboy]

Brilliant. I had the duck by him 1965 has anyone got it I have Jackie lee version but would love to hear bobby's version again.

If the audience looks troubled here, please remember that this is 1964. A Black man with super-tight pants on shaking his hips in front of white women. Elvis was supposed to be the only one allowed to do that!

[scottbaino]

Is everyone in the audience on sedatives??

[Komet67]

I was thinking the same thing about a couple of the dancers.

[AdonaiAries]

I can't say anything about this crazy insane even ridiculous dance... mainly because my cohorts take part in a group dance called the stanky leg and the booty doo.

I used to stay on Inverness, when my oldest baby girl went to San Andreas School 1/2 block away! LOL! The salt-water air actually rusted out our water pipes in our house. We had to eventually move INLAND! LOL! SO we moved to South San Francisco, right below the peak that said: "SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO." THOSE WERE DEFINITELY "THE GOOD OLD DAYS," my friend. What I do now, can be summed up by searching for BlkIndianMale. You'll see photos of my 3rd cousin Aretha Franklin there as well!

@7734Duke: I was too young to knowBobby personally. I think I was only 16y/o when Lisa and Lillian Atkinson started the fire next door and I had to go to the firebox 2 blocks away, and ring for Firemen. They were only 4 blocks away, on Grove & Broderick St, as there was no "911" then. I also didn't know that Sly was actually a guitarist for Bobby in the 60s. I played Tenor Sax for Freddie & the Stone Souls back then, but all I knew of Sly untill that time was him being a DJ on KSOL Radio.

This man can MOVE !

Today's artists got nuthin' on this guy.

[1408alan]

Look at those dancers! Reminds me of young librarians on a day out! This song is an absolute toe-tapper, and Bobby sure knew how to dance. With his good looks, why didn't he become a big star?

[hebneh]

An excellent go-go dance.

I especially like how the Shindig dancers "swim" off-camera lying on the floor at the end.

[DA90027]

Sly Stone was a genius for coming up with this song.

[BlkIndianMale49]

YES! Sly Stone wrote this song for Bobby Freeman! I used to play Tenor sax for Freddie Stone when I was 17. Bobby Freeman went to Polytechnic High school in San Francisco, CA. and so did Johnny Mathis and my brother, and sister and I. Bobby Freeman's girlfriend, Lisa Ann Atkinson, and her sister Lillian, used to live right next door to me on Page Street. They were also full-blooded choctaw. Gorgeous women! Bobby Freeman used to drive a Candy-Apple Red '56 Chevy! MINT CONDITION!

@BlkIndianMale49 LEAD GUITAR is Sly Stone, too (Bobby lives in Pacifica, California....where I am from. He played at our high school as the headliner in 1964. I took his pictures that appeared in our yearbook of him doing the swim. He later played here in Fresno and I had him autograph that photo...very nice dude that Bobby!!

[ChrislovesKrystal]

Sly Stone wrote this song! Did you know that?

[NiagaraFalls4424]
