Eddie Floyd had a 1966 soul hit with 'Knock on Wood', a song he wrote with Booker T & The MGs' Steve Cropper. The song was re-imagined in the late 70s as a fast disco shuffle and was a huge success for Amii Stewart. Always enjoyed this song with its infectious bouncy groove.

This track 'Break the Rules Tonite' by Kim Carnes was on the B-side of the follow-up to Bette Davis Eyes - and it's a really cool shuffle...

Close to being my favourite non-Quo shuffle. 'Three Button Hand me Down' by the Faces, written by Rod and Ian McLagan for their first album in 1970 and only a B-side on a single 'Flying'. Great intro and a fine early Faces track.

Would this be a shuffle?

I have no musical background rockonquo, but Heart's 'Barracuda' is a lot like Magnum's 'Back to Earth' and Slade's 'Run Runaway' (back up the thread), with that galloping drum pattern over the riff, so I don't think they're 'shuffles' in the conventional 12 Bar sense. I have a few more tracks to post and a few are borderline shuffles, so, as I also said previously, what do I know?

Not too many shuffle songs made it to the top of the charts - but here are two! Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the Sky' from 1970 and Shakin' Steven's 'Green Door' from 1981.

No drums, just acoustic guitars and shuffle!

From 1974's Stormbringer album, this is Deep Purple with Mr Coverdale on vocals for 'Hold On'.
