Harlem Shuffle

Released in February of 1986, this cover version of the 1963 R&B classic by Bob & Earl was included in The Rolling Stones 20th studio album Dirty Work. The single went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 in the UK Official Charts. The Rolling Stones produced an accompanying three minute music video, which combined live-action and animation. The live-action was directed by famous animation director Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat) and the animation was directed by future Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi.
