If Newt Gingrich and James Brown got together to make a baby, Wayne would be their son. I can't believe the public let him get away with the same look, moves and semi-feel of James Brown. And singing the Harlem Shuffle??? Wow! I'm surprised he didn't start singing Papa's Got A Band New Bag, Night Train, or Super Bad. Oh, well. Keep doing your thing Wayne. Keep on keepin' on.
@oudzuidNL How strange, I thougt the same about 30 minutes ago. To bad Wilders ain't dancing like this. Instead of dancing he just talks nonsense. But he, this is a great clip though. Gr. from Holland.
Wayne was/is a tremendous showman..... and the C.C. Riders were a fantastic backing band..... His best song was " Going Back to Miami" After his version of Harlem Shuffle came out several other groups in the Mid-West covered HIM... Most notably from St. Louis,' Bob Kuban & the In-Men' (with Walter Scott) and "The Fabulous Flippers" from Wichita, KS
@miamiwax James Brown and Wayne Cochran knew each other, though I can't say how well. Wayne told a friend of mine who interviewed him about 15 years ago that while , of course , he had the utmost respect for Brown , and for Otis Redding , that the feeling was mutual , because they knew he was not a fake.
@smokeemonkee LOL yeah it was par for the course and usually still is on live broadcasts, due to the intense tech and manpower needed just to do a 2.45m song totally live being far too expensive. ;)
