It's not a question of who put out this Atlantic release bearing the following titles .....

One Side :
THE BUMP

Other Side :
SHE ROCKS

but rather when .... :icon_question:

'74/'75 when most BUMP songs were being released perhaps ?
'78/'79 when ROCK/FREAK titles were numerous possibly ?

Or .... then again .... ?


The record's shocking date of release is the answer being sought here please ..... :icon_mrgreen:

Could it be a single released by a band sharing its name with a high-ranked

catholic clergyman, a bird, a number, a point, and a baseball team, on a

label named after a spread of water (#972), back in 1952?

[remicks]

Could it be a single released .......... back in 1952?

...... 1952 :icon_exclaim: :icon_exclaim:

for a song release that's titled THE BUMP !!! :icon_surprised: ....?????

flipped w/ another called SHE ROCKS !!! :icon_rolleyes:

Still, are you sure you want that to be your answer KC ........:icon_rolleyes: :icon_eek: ....:icon_redface: .....

ertainly a must-have as a sound of the time in R & B history.

[KoolChris]

Yep, I remember my pop listening to this a few years back... I can't really remember what the sound is like or if I liked it, though...

Have you heard it yet?

[remicks]

KC : Have you heard it yet?

Sure have ! --- Couldn't resist getting it with titles like that ... This is a Fats Dominoe type sound ......piano , drums and saxophone--- male lead with male back up .
And --- I ain't never heard no bump song that sounded like this !!!!! Ever !!! :icon_eek: :icon_redface:


THE BUMP
lyrics

If you girls are feeling way down in the dumps (repeat)
I'll up and see you baby and let you do the bump

I got the bump that you want (drum roll)
Bump that you need (drum roll)
The bump that makes you holler and the bump that makes you plead ( followed by a wailing sax solo)

It'll thrill you chill you, make your insides jump (repeat)
And when you feel it get chu
You let bump daddy bump

:icon_eek: :icon_eek:


You are correct Chris :
This, from the summer of 1952 ! :icon_eek: :icon_surprised:

..... and , of the two ... this is the more mild side !
