 I checked the personnel on this cut "Shake It Up Tonight", I do that, and I was not far off wrong....

Shake It Up Tonight
Producer, Recorded By, Mixed By – Ray Parker Jr.
Recorded and mixed at Ameraycan Studios Hollywood, California
Mastered at A&M Studios

Bass Guitar – no mention is made of who played bass on this track, but other album tracks list
Scotty Edwards with a huge body of work, especially at Motown, Marcus Miller, then aged 22,
and Ray Parker Jr. himself.....
I will go for Ray, due to the melodic playing, as he was a very accomplished session guitar player, and they tend to play bass guitar with more verve than bass players play lead guitar.

Guitar – Ray Parker Jr.

Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes] – Darren Carmichael (ex-Raydio)

 Shake It Up Tonight - UK 12" single

......a walking bass line that hits the spot, it just doesn't quit.
Funky guitar in the middle break, which is probably Ray Parker Jr. the producer.
Written by Mike & Brenda Sutton, who had a couple of worthwhile outings of their own as performers.
At approx. 2:54, 3:10, 3:17 and again at 3:33, a couple of those sound effects you'd hear at a circus, when there were clowns around (Ray just funnin' I guess).
His guitar parts are very inventive, although low in the mix, worth checking.

So the whole thing has Fender Rhodes piano, Strings, Temple Blocks (percussion),Handclaps, female back-up singers and Cheryl singing "loose", with plenty vocal ad-libs......

I remember Greg Edwards playing this on Capital Radio 194 disco nights at The Lyceum, in The Strand, central London.
