  • Rob Adams from North GeorgiaI checked out this page today because I heard someone rather young use the term "booty" and wondered how long it's been in the American vernacular. Turns out it's been around for almost fifty years.
  • The King Of Pop Whisperer from Los Angeles CalaforniaI got my friend a cd for her birthday and everytime im at her house we shake our bootys sing together have dance partys!
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1977 {November 26th} K.C. and the Sunshine Band performed "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'...
    At the time "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" was at #95 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, it was in its 21st and last week on the chart, and eleven weeks earlier it had peaked at #1 {for 1 week)...
    And on September 12th, 1976 the record also peaked at #1 {for 3 weeks} on the Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
    Between 1975 and 1983 the Florida band had eighteen records on the Hot Top 100 chart, seven made the Top 10 with five* reaching #1, "Get Down Tonight" {1 week in 1975}, "That's The Way (I Like It)" {2 weeks in 1975}, the above "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man" {1 week in 1977}, and "Please Don't Go" {1 week in 1980}...
    Two of their eighteen charted records were with Teri DeSario, "Yes, I'm Ready" {#2 in 1979} and "Dancin' In The Street" {#66 in 1980}...
    K.C., born Harry Wayne Casey, will celebrate his 70th birthday in two months on January 31st, 2021...
    R.I.P. to Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012}...
    * The group just missed having two more #1 records when both their "Keep It Comin' Love" {1977} and "Yes, I'm Ready" with Teri DeSario {1979} peaked at position #2 on the Top 100...
  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenI shook my booty to this frequently when it came out, but now my booty is too old to do more that just quiver a bit.
