Written by the legendary Allen Toussaint and recorded in 1974 by Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Betty Wright, “Shoorah Shoorah” is a bit of a sleeper hit having initially been a huge success overseas. The song has been recently licensed for the HBO series “Divorce” starring Sarah Jessica Parker as well as an episode of “A League Of Their Own” on Amazon Prime.
