What artist sang the sixities song "Nobody" with these words: Nobody can do the shake like I do it?

Answer 1

That's "Nobody But Me" by The Isley Brothers, 1963. The more well known version was done by The Human Beinz in 1968.

Answer 2

I always thought it was the Human Beinz that did Nobody But Me. But It was the Isley Bros. who did the original. In 1982 George Thorogood & The Destroyers did a good cover of Nobody But Me which I believe was on the Bad To The Bone album.

Answer 3

To the first responder, thanks for the information. I knew that the Human Beinz did the song back in the mid 60's. I didn't know that the Isley Brothers did the original. in 1963.

I'm always looking for songs from the 50's - 80's for my musical collection. Now I'll try to .locate that one by the Isley Brothers.

P.S. Did you know that the Isley Brothers also made the original of "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door" which was popularized by Eddie Hodges in 1961?

Answer 4

The song is "Nobody But Me" by the Human Beinz, 1967. I've included a link below where you can listen to a song clip. When you get to the site, click on one of the listen buttons under the windows or realplayer icons. Oh, and, nobody can answer this question, like I do... (lol!). Good luck to you!

Original Lyrics:
