Spyro Gyra - Shaker Song (Edit)

This was the first single from the jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra and it's also my all-time favorite track from them; Jay Beckenstein's saxophone and David Samuels' marimba performances are standouts, giving the song an overall sunny, happy vibe--really love this one. Shaker Song peaked at #90 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1978 and also went to #16 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In 1979, the jazz quartet Manhattan Transfer covered the song and added lyrics for their Extensions album. original version on the album Spyro Gyra written by Jay Beckenstein © copyright 1977-1978 Transcontinent Record Sales Inc, Harlem Music, Crosseyed Bear Music.
