Shaki de Boo-Tee is Jean Knight's third studio album and her first in twelve years. All of the tracks were produced and arranged by her long-time friends and collaborators Isaac Bolden, Walter Moorehead and Carl Marshall, while three of them were written by Moorehead. Two of the songs on the album were co-written by Knight's son, E.C. Commedore, while two others are duets that Knight shares with Moorehead. Cover versions include Bill Withers' song "Who Is She (And What Is She to You)." The last two songs are bonus tracks and live versions of her biggest hits "Mr. Big Stuff" and "My Toot Toot."
