One of those two-part singles where Part II became the primary side. Junior Walker (born Autry DeWalt Mixon Jr., or was it Oscar Mixon?) was spotted in Battle Creek, MI by Johnny Bristol. He recommended the group (known by now as the All Stars) to Harvey Fuqua, who signed them. Fuqua sold his label to Berry Gordy and Motown, where Junior recorded “Shotgun,” still one of the best party records ever.
