632 The Five Du-Tones “Shake a Tail Feather” 1963

“Formed in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, around 1957…Originally a doo-wop group, the Five Dutones moved to Chicago in the early 60s. Their exhilarating single ‘Shake A Tail Feather’ was released in 1963. Later revived by James and Bobby Purify and Mitch Ryder, this definitive early version was a US top 30 R&B hit. James West died of a heart attack in 1963 and was replaced by David Scott. The Five Dutones recorded a total of nine singles, most of which were based on local dance crazes” (The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, 2006).
