It's sad that our non-magic world doesn't recognize how much we've lost to technology, but fear not. The magical new religion of Tadaism declares this song one of its hymns. You've heard of the 12 steps and the 10 commandments, but 1 12 gauge is enough to stay alive.
I am so glad I’ve kept all of my music over the years………45s, 33s, cassettes, cds. My older brother & I got the music bug from our late father. We will be 70 & 73 this summer. Our father’s collection dates back to 78s.
58 years later (2023) this song still hits harder than anything released and recorded today!! Still giving good vibes even when having a bad day, hearing this makes you instantly forget about any bad experience you had for the day. Merry Christmas and happy new year (12/25/2023) to everyone listening and reading this. Will be listening to this for another 58 years to come Lord willing 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿
I was heading to my watering hole here in NYC and this song pops into my head "Shotgun" ..... I parked the car put the blu buds in? And rocked all the way to the bar!!! At 68 yrs and retired? Yeh I still friggin rock!!!!
I'm 61, wifey, 2 daughters can't handle, daddy is still goin ,and ain't stopping. James Brown is up.... hit me ! Dancing all night long. Peace,smiling.
Yeah, but doesn't it make you feel young again? I'm nearly 70 and I just danced around my kitchen to a Junior Walker double play on the Bluetooth speaker, first his amazing sax riff in the middle of Foreigner's "Urgent" and then this funky , hard-driving "Shotgun." Play 'em back to back at full blast and you'll be 16 again!
Ahh the good ole days with no crossover.. It was ours! I was 5 and remember the grownups doing the shotgun and the jerk. The moves were hard and tight 'cause the groove made it so.
Reminds me of a 1964 Chevy Nova out here in Cali I was a little S**t in the back seat, No seat belts Dad smoking Mary. Late 70's He would turn that volume up. And all was good. Lol great times
This is when music was music!! People came together no matter who or what you were!! One of the best feel good, booty romping, foot stomping songs of all time!!!
Damn I am sweating listening to this. Can't help but not get up. Lmao. Definitely a song to dance, party, or clean the house to. This music needs a comeback.
2023 🎉 Classic Song Damn I was born in 1969 - My late Parents both in there early 40’s met @ Bar . And the Rest was what ? HISTORY Still Grooving to this Song
My friend Skip's dad supposedly left town for the weekend.....Skip decided to have a party while he was away. We only had one album: Shotgun........we played that record at full blast for at least a hundred times. Lo and behold.....someone called Skip's dad....he showed up at the house with 50 teenagers dancing to this record........I can still hear him screaming....lol.......great times.
I'm 67 BORN & RAISED in DETROIT - I was 8 yrs. *young* @The roller skating rink when I first heard *SHOTGUN* All these DECADES later it's still my *FAVORITE* 💯❤️🎷
This was a Party starter. I remember this song when I was in the 7th grade. Those parties we had in the cafeteria. And when Shotgun came on everybody would get up and dance.This were the best days, and the music was the best.
This was definitely my mother favorite song Shotgun by Junior Walker and the all Stars. She even had the 45rmp record as well and she the album also. I dedicate this song to my mother. RIP Doris Brown.
This song takes me back to when i was in the 5th grade in PS 123 in Manhattan and Jr Walker & the All Stars perform that song in our Auditorium as a treat for the student on assembly day.
Ive had a portion of this song stuck in my head for MONTHS and only discovered it recently cause someone put it on a TikTok video...its like getting a splinter out, and now I can listen to it over and over again. Man those old sax solos rip!
Iwas so fortunate to have grown up in Detroit when this was popular. With Motown and all. That is the true home of rock n roll!!! I always tell the younger cats that I jam with out here in Portland Or. They have no idea what they missed!!!
Ahhh, those Strawberry 🍓 Margarita Days And those Pina Colada Days The Days of Rum and Coke And all in One Wonderful Day Singing, Dancing and loving being alive
My mom's favorite song! This sounds when she was feeding me the bottle. 43 years passed and I still have something with this song along to ring my bell and funky town.
It's sad that this type of music isnt being made now.
Yeah but we are still listening, makes me wanna dance & sing, good for the soul😊

Thanks to Dad for raising me around good music.🎶

This is by far the finest sax solo ever played.
This was our wedding intro song at the reception. It has a double entendre title for a wedding, in addition to an awesome backbeat. 😂
A shotgun wedding? Love it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cool!
Thanks for the motivation, cause now I'm having this for my Future Empress/Bride at our wedding🥰💯🐾💪🏾🙏🏾

I'm 61, wifey, 2 daughters can't handle, daddy is still goin ,and ain't stopping. James Brown is up.... hit me ! Dancing all night long. Peace,smiling.

😎🤗😍
2021 "You know when you're old when SHOTGUN is still a favorite song. 😊👍
Yeah, but doesn't it make you feel young again? I'm nearly 70 and I just danced around my kitchen to a Junior Walker double play on the Bluetooth speaker, first his amazing sax riff in the middle of Foreigner's "Urgent" and then this funky , hard-driving "Shotgun." Play 'em back to back at full blast and you'll be 16 again!
Don't remind me!
this song is a soul classic there's no music like this anymore everything sounds the same
I play this for my big mama whose 91 just to see her reaction and she yelled "heyyyy!" and tried to get up to dance lol. I did not expect that.
❤❤❤
Strangely enough, Misery brought me here. Oh, Paul.
"Still got it!"
HOT DANG! Back in the day I could really dance to this one.
This song has never lost it's 'SOUL' !!✅🤔
As they used to say, RIGHT ON!
MISERY intro FILM ! EXCELLENT !!!
That's my Uncle Jack on drums at 17 yrs old. Thanks.
Whoever composed the Cosby Show theme song was heavily inspired by this.
Exactly what I have always thought!!!!
My first thought was oh the cosby theme song😂
Move your feet
Especially the intro
Would that be Mr. Quincy Jones?
Junior Walker, still rocking the saxophone, love it!!!
I remember Junior Walker and the all stars Shotgun that was my mother's favorite song before she passed away. We had the 45 rpm as well.
DAMN! REAL INSTRUMENTS. YOU HERE WHAT I SAY? REAL INSTRUMENTS. NOT SOME PHONY ENGINEERED STUFF. A WHOLE BUNCH OF SOUL.
No damned auto-tune either.
Yessir
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump you think the song is original because i heard a similar song
@@estelaangeles2346 it is most definitely the real song recorded in Hitsville.motown studios in Detroit. My uncle is on the cover on drums..
REAL MUSIC
Ahh the good ole days with no crossover.. It was ours!
I was 5 and remember the grownups doing the shotgun and the jerk. The moves were hard and tight 'cause the groove made it so.

Lying in bed in the home of my kidnapper and number one fan with broken legs just loving this song.
Love a shouting song
( back in the ‘90’s my little girl loved this)
I said it’s cryin time ~~~~~
That sax at the beginning HITTIN!!!
This was a Party starter. I remember this song when I was in the 7th grade. Those parties we had in the cafeteria. And when Shotgun came on everybody would get up and dance.This were the best days, and the music was the best.
Reminds me about cruising the high school in the ol Chevy. We blew speakers rockin this
What a great tune - - I know every single word lol.

This was definitely my mother favorite song Shotgun by Junior Walker and the all Stars. She even had the 45rmp record as well and she the album also. I dedicate this song to my mother. RIP Doris Brown.
❤
Junior putting down the good stuff--Straight outta Arkansas. 💯🎯👈
"God I love you..."
Misery references aside, Shotgun is brilliant! So slick!
Great song! It was played at the beginning of the movie Miser😜y. He sure did needed a shotgun.😆😆
Yeah I always thought it were James Brown!
No wonder he crashed listening to this on a snow road!!
"Misery" (Rob Reiner, 1990) with James Caan and Kathy Bates. Damn good movie !
Drive safe in the snow y'all
Lol
clever! lol
Dont listen to this while you drive
PLAY IT LOUD ! ! ! ! ! That's it, REAL LOUD!!! This is the 60s Soul of our dreams...
One of the best cruising songs...I got shotgun!!!
Nobody and I mean nobody could do it like Junior Walker and nobody could blow the saxophone like him. He was a master of the saxophone.
Never get tired of listening to him play the sax.
This song takes me back to when i was in the 5th grade in PS 123 in Manhattan and Jr Walker & the All Stars perform that song in our Auditorium as a treat for the student on assembly day.
Crazy!!!
Do you know how damn lucky you are??
You all got blessed 🙏😇.
