"The Resurrection Shuffle" is a song by British rock band Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, released as a single in November 1970. It became their own charting hit, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart and number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Background
"The Resurrection Shuffle" was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios on Dean Street in London and features Howie Casey playing saxophone.[2] "I'm Your Spiritual Breadman" – which features George Harrison playing guitar, assisting with production and helping with some of the lyrics – was for a while scheduled to be Aston, Gardner and Dyke's next single. However, the record label Capitol instead decided that "The Resurrection Shuffle" should be the next single.[3]
Aston, Gardner and Dyke went on tour with Deep Purple and shortly after this began, "The Resurrection Shuffle" was released as a single in November 1970. Within a few months, the single had gained significant popularity and by February the band were forced to leave the tour and to headline their own tour.[3]
