Harlem Shuffleby Bob & Earl

Okay Harlem Shuffle!!!! This iconic R&B song by Bob & Earl has been heavily sampled over the years, notably in House of Pain's Jump Around (1992).

In the late 1950s, when Bobby Day and Earl Nelson were members of the doo wop group the Hollywood Flames. Nelson sang lead on the Flames’ 1958 hit, “Buzz Buzz Buzz”; that same year, Day had solo success with “Rockin’ Robin.” In 1960, Day and Nelson began to record as Bob & Earl. In 1962, meeting little success, Day decided to again pursue a solo career. Nelson recruited Bobby Relf of the Laurels to replace Day. Relf and Nelson co-wrote the duo’s biggest hit, “Harlem Shuffle.”: frankmastropolo.medium.com

Bobby Day & Earl Nelson went through several names before settling on "Bob & Earl". Day would go on to leave the group... but as serendipity would have it, another Bobby would take his place - Bobby Relf, and continued to use the same name.
