The Jerk was a hot new dance in 1964. I'm damned if I know how you did it, but I have several soul records that capitalized on the craze. The biggest ones included "Come On, Do The Jerk" by the Miracles, "Jerk It" by the Gypsies, "The Jerk" by the Larks (a #1 R&B hit), and, in early 1965, Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour," which producer Jerry Wexler conceived with the Jerk in mind. Finally, in 1966 (after the craze had essentially died down), the Capitols had the top ten smash, "Cool Jerk."
