"Shout" was written and performed by the Isley Brothers in 1959, and while their original version cannot be faulted, this cover version by Australia's Johnny O'Keefe just has to be the best I've ever heard.

Vocal backup group was the Delltones. The tall guy on the left is the bass singer known as Pee Wee Wilson. Noel Widerberg is third from the left. He was killed in a car accident a few years later.
Pee Wee revived the Delltones in the 1980s. There have been many changes to line-up but Pee Wee is always there and the group is still performing today.
Johnny died at the age of 43 in 1978.
