"Barefootin'"
Song

"Barefootin'" is a 1965 song performed by Robert Parker. "Barefootin'" was arranged and produced by Wardell Quezergue in 1965. The song reached No.2 on the U.S. R&B chart and No.7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Parker's record label, Nola Records, claimed that the record sold over one million copies.[1] The track also reached No.24 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1966.[2][3]

Music video

In 1987 a claymation music video was produced by Aardman Animations. Aardman Animations were approached by Charly Records who owned the back catalog rights to many classic R&B tracks. In the late '80s, classic R&B charted at the lower 100 on the charts and sometimes the owner would spend some marketing money on a song hoping to kick it into the top 20.[4]
