3.0 out of 5 stars Otis Day&The Knights - 'Shout' (MCA), October 4, 2005

I barely even knew anything at all about this band until recently.As most of you probably are aware of,Otis Day&The Knights were the fictional house band in the frat classic 'Animal House' movie.I've recently seen them play the oldies circuit co-headlining with the Kingsmen("Louie Louie")and I thought lead vocalist DeWayne Jessie sort of reminded me of like an Ike Turner wanna-be.The show as well as this CD is decently performed R&B.Cannot believe that only one other patron had reviwed this release.Somewhat happening tracks include "Function At The Junction",the Isley Brother's nugget "Shout" and "Shamalamma Ding Dong".Not sure as to which artists originally penned out the cuts on this disc,but I think most if not all may be cover tunes.No matter,'Shout',Otis Day&The Knight's sole album isn't bad.Might appeal to fans of Booker T.Jones,Sam&Dave,Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.Check it out.

This cd sounds nothing like the ottis day I remember. It's a rip off and just for a quick buck

I purchasesd 3 ottis Day cd's and they are all crap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obie's Little Brother, Dewayne Jessie, February 28, 2006

This CD is a cool one to own. These were recorded by actor Dewayne Jessie (but in the movie "Animal House," the songs Shama Lama Ding Dong and Shout were sung by Lloyd Williams and lip-synched by Jessie). Not many people know that Dewayne Jessie is the younger brother of R&B legend Obie Jessie AKA Young Jessie (who sang with The Flairs and The Coasters, and also recorded and wrote the original "Mary Lou"). This is the only CD released by Otis Day (Dewayne Jessie) and it was produced by Funkadelic George Clinton. Grab a copy of this hard to find CD.
