[ listen ]

Here's a lively little musical bonbon I was delighted to find in my collection the other day; I don't remember buying it! The pricetag indicates it was probably one of the singles I found on my trip to Norway back in the spring of 2017. According to Wikipedia, Shirley Goodman was persuaded out of retirement to contribute vocals to "Shame, Shame, Shame," which became a dance-floor favorite around the globe. This 1975 follow-up single, however, did not, and Shirley retired from the music business again in the late 1970s. Appropriately, my copy of the single was produced in France. I love the street accordion featured here!
