Willie Gault (Chicago Bears wide receiver, 1983-87/Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew): In 1985 I was working on my acting career. I had already shot my part for About Last Night when I met Dick Meyer through my Hollywood agent. Dick was the owner of Red Label Records, and he had a music video he wanted me to be in called “The Heat in Me” by Linda Cliffo...
Breitberg: I got involved with Red Label when I was working at Streeterville studio downtown [in Chicago], and a fella I knew was building Dick’s studio in his house. Meyer had bought the former Bensinger mansion in Winnetka, which looked like a baby wing of the Museum of Science and Industry. When he bought the mansion he was married to Judy Sharp...
Gault:It was one of those things where I had to approach them with kid gloves because not too many guys would be thinking about doing a rap song. Otis and Richard Dent said great. Richard Dent (Chicago Bears defensive end, 1983-93, 1995/Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew):Willie approached me, and first I wanted to hear the sound. The beat was nice — we ...
Breitberg:We got the tracks, and over the weekend, Week 8 of the season, we start working on it, and Dick modified the lyrics. The choruses are exactly the same as “Kingfish Shuffle,” but other than a few lines he rewrote the verses completely. Gault:Dick and I sat down and talked about the personalities, then Dick Meyer wrote out lyrics. I helped ...
Ken Valdiserri (Chicago Bears director of public relations/director of marketing & broadcasting, 1984-2000):The Bears organization didn’t find out about this until they already had made the recording and were planning the video. We had to be brought in the loop because of trademarks and copyrights and proprietary issues. We didn’t like it from two ...
Fencik:Going into Miami we had won our two previous games with, what, a combined score of 80 to nothing? So mentally we maybe weren’t prepared for the game. Taylor:I had noticed during warm-ups that the Dolphins from the 1972 undefeated team, Larry Csonka and those guys, were standing lined up on the sideline, one by one, with their arms folded, wa...
Valdiserri: After a somewhat humbling first loss on Monday night, we arrived [in Chicago] probably at three in the morning. This thing had been scheduled for an eleven o’ clock taping at the Park West. This was not ideal, because we had unnaturally worn our home uniforms for an away game at Miami, and those uniforms had to be cleaned, so we had to ...
Buford:They let us play whatever we wanted. I picked the cowbell. I brought in a hat I had in my car — I thought I’d put on a hat and shades and look like a cool rocker. Keys:I had a little piano background. When I was in fifth grade I remember playing football in the street and the piano teacher would pull up and I’d be so upset to have to go insi...
Leslie Frazier (Chicago Bears safety/cornerback, 1981-85/Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew chorus):I was told, “This is what you’re going to be doing, dancing in the background,” which was fine with me. When it got bigger I thought I wouldn’t have minded having a singing role, not that I can sing. Gayle:Some of us just wanted to be in the back. We said ...
Fayette:There was fear that the Bears would fall apart after that loss, so Dick was crazy to get this done before they lost another game. Both Payton and McMahon declined to do it for two days. We did a version where we cut away to dancers when either one was singing. There was even a version where we used still photos of them during their parts. I...
