The bass line on this recording by King Solomon owes much to SHIMMY SHIMMY WALK by The Megatons. Nothing known about King Solomon himself, despite taking such a high sounding name.

Four of the original group founders were killed in a 1967 plane crash with Otis Redding. Guitarist Jimmy King, organist Ronnie Caldwell, drummer Carl Cunningham, and saxaphone player Phalon Jones all perished with Otis, leaving trumpeter Ben Cauley and bassist James Alexander to re-form the group. In 1976 they had minor hits with one being Shake Your Rump to the Funk on Mercury.
Yet another Twisted Wheel all-nighter instrumental, it drove us mad, because it was a derivative of Green Onions from Booker T And The MG’s: we couldn’t find a copy anywhere. But yes; Roger Eagle had it, from that record rondevous on Blackfriers Street just next to the bridge over the lovely Irwell. And it was played at 2 a.m. at the ‘Old’ Wheel (Brazennose Street.)

Good instrumental from Puccio Roelens, and Italian (the only one on this website?) pianist, composer and record producer. Odd title for a track, maybe lost something in translation!
