The Guess Who - Shakin' All Over

1965

One of my delivery drivers always has music playing. One day I ask him if he took requests and I suggested this song. Now, whenever he stops in to deliver, he has this song playing for me. It's such a thoughtful gesture and it always puts a smile on my face.

RIP Chad Allan. Thanks for that kickin’ great vocal on Shakin All Over. One of the best ever in my book.

It's 2023 and this still sounds good as when I heard them in the 60s. Thanks for the memories.

There are many versions of this song but this will always be my fave - it's also the one that was a hit in the USA.

[frizzlefrap]

by far the best rendition of this song never knew it was the GUESS WHO!

[peetie]

That bridge is brilliant. the perfect mix of lead, rythym, bass guitar and drums. Wow. The screams add just the right amount of punk garage.

[mythicwriter]

The vocals here are raw, sensuous, raspy, and pure rock.

[luwbz]

I’m 20 and I got this song from battlefield Vietnam when I played it many years ago… goes hard to this day!

[bradcookson]

One of if not the greatest garage band songs of all time!

[dannyhemphill]

Saw the GUESS WHO IN 2001 at the Greek. Opening act was Joe Cocker. A real gem of a concert !

I was in elementary school the first time I heard The Guess Who. They were then and till this day are my favorite...

[shaungalloway]

My cousin Frankie Farley played the drums on the Johnny Kidd version

[robertroth]

The Guess Who does the best version of this song.

RIP Chad Allen🌹 😎🎙.🇨🇦 We had this record in my house growing up. Outstanding rock vocal!

Dropped acid during covid with some friends, listening to a portable speaker walking a farm Lakeway when this came on. I don't remember who started it but when the first chorus hit we all went sprinting through a wheat field 🤣 I could have puked when we finally slowed down but that was the most energy I'd had in years.

[bobhillstrom]

A great version...my favorite even ahead of the Who. I was in my late teens when this came out...

[carog]

Still puts quivers down my backbone since 1st hearing this as a kid in the 60's. Yep Chad somehow has it over Burton for vocals. Remember that The Who also did an unforgettable version of this song on Live at Leeds and at Woodstock.

[walterfechter]

I've always dug the bassline in this one. I remember playing this at my annual Halloween bashes.

[muffsmercury]

First USA hit and did a respectable #22 on the charts. One of the first psychedelic hits. Awesome song.
Update: R.I.P. Chad Allan who passed away at 80 on 11/21/2023 but was not reported until Dec 4.
