This R&B classic was released as a single in 1971 by the Jackson 5 and blew up. The song was written by Clifton Davis, who’s known for being the lead actor on the 70s & 80s TV sitcoms “That’s My Mama” and “Amen”. With a twelve year old Michael Jackson on the lead, the song’s smooth and rhythmic sound and vocals drove its success to #2 on the Billboard Pop Singles and #1 on the Billboard Soul Singles charts. Then, like a second act, Gloria Gaynor flipped the script entirely and covered the tune in 1974 as one of the first bonafide disco hits. But there’s nothing like the origin.

In 1974, the Ohio Players released its fifth studio album “Skin Tight” to both critical and commercial acclaim. The album reached #1 on the R&B chart and #13 on the Pop chart. It also generated a couple of signature hits: “Jive Turkey” (reaching #6 on the R&B singles chart) and the bass-laden, expressive title track “Skin Tight” which reached #1 and #13 on the R&B and Pop single charts respectively. Given that, how can we not do this t-shirt?!

Released in November 1978, Parliament’s “Motor Booty Affair” was the group’s sixth album. It was also Parliament’s fifth consecutive gold album. The album produced three legit hits: “Mr. Wiggles,” “Rumpofstellskin” and “Aqua Boogie” which spent four weeks at #1 and became a funk classic. Can you say “A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop?”

The t-shirt we use to print the designs is from a company call Next Level Apparel. They make some of the best t-shirts in the apparel biz. Our base t-shirt is their premium tri-blend crew neck t-shirt. This t-shirt is a mashup of 50% polyester, 25% combed ring spun and 25% rayon. That mix makes for three things: an extremely soft t-shirt that drapes nicely with a vintage-type look. So you’re getting a cool looking shirt that feels great. The t-shirt weighs 4.3 ounces. So you’re not wearing a bulletproof vest but a mid-weight garment. And since the fabric is mostly polyester and rayon, there is little, if any, shrinkage. Now the t-shirt does run a little small so if you like a roomer fit, please select the next size above what you normally wear.
Also, we don’t believe in offering you a one-style-fits-all or “unisex” t-shirt (whatever that is). We give the fellas and ladies a t-shirt that’s specifically made for them and their unique features. If a particular style of t-shirt isn’t available for a gender then we’ll let you know and recommend a size in that shirt that may accommodate you.
In the future, we’ll rollout different styles of tees like a scoop neck (for that off-the-shoulder Flashdance look), long sleeve, hoody and ¾ sleeve raglan so you’ll have a variety of options to choose from year round.
We recommend turning your t-shirt inside out when washing. Please machine wash in cold water with like colors. It’s best to hang dry but it’s cool if you tumble dry on low setting. Please do not iron on the decoration.
