Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Super Bowl Shuffle" CD included It's the original song by the very original "Bears Shufflin' Crew" that had fans singing all through the Super Bowl. Definitely, a #1 hit on Bears fans Top 40.

As a football player, my husband was revered for his all-around ability and his effort. He could run, catch, pass, kick and block. He did it all with flair and determination, and he never gave anything but his best.
To this day, Mike Ditka says Walter was "the best I have ever seen."
Six years since has passing and 20 years since he played for the Super Bowl champion Bears, my memories of Walter as a husband, father and football player remain indelibly etched in my mind. - from the foreword by Connie Payton

I bought this for the cd single of the Super Bowl Shuffle. The song sounds loud and clear and is the best copy I've been able to find. I'm glad to have another rare 80s song on cd.
