Argdo with shellcommand

I am trying something like this to recode several ot many files:

:args ./*
:while
:argdo
:1,$ !recode lat1...utf8
:update
:next
:endwhile

I am familiar with the argdo set ff=unix | update
but I do not know how to make the first example work
It will be tested out before I apply it to a production system with many
files.
Otherwise I am familiar with:

:let &termencoding = &encoding
:set encoding=utf-8
