The epitome of party records may well be The Five Du-Tones (Willie Guest, LeRoy Joyce, Frank McCurrey, James West and Andrew Butler) and "Shake a Tail Feather" (Hayes - Williams - Rice) from 1963. This release charted in the fifties on Billboard.

Cousins James and Bobby Purify (Robert Lee Dickey) covered "Shake a Tail Feather" in 1967 and peaked in the top thirty.
