Good, Good, Twistin' is a compilation album by American musician James Brown and The Famous Flames. It consists of tracks from his first four studio albums, in addition to his recent single "Shout and Shimmy", the previously unreleased "Have Mercy Baby" and a re-recording of "Just Won't Do Right". The album was released in July of 1962 by King Records.[1][5][6] The album was later reissued under the title Shout and Shimmy.[7] While some songs feature the original Flames, the longest lasting Flames lineup (Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, and Baby Lloyd Stallworth) are featured on six songs: "I Don't Mind", "Shout and Shimmy", "Good, Good, Lovin'", "Dancin' Little Thing", "Come Over Here" and "You Don't Have To Go".
