Origin[]

Rodgers' previous two singles for RCA Records had not charted. In 1968, she was seen by songwriter Kenny Young when she appeared with Honeybus on the TV programme Colour Me Pop. Young met Rodgers and her husband and manager, Johnny Morris, and agreed to write and produce for her; "Come Back and Shake Me" was their first collaboration. [5]
