The Isley brothers have been making hit records, since the 50’s they have been relevant in the music industry for over 60 years, their in the rock and roll hall of fame, so any song you choose from their catalog will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Isleys are ICONIC. They have multiple hits, Summer Breeze, Harvest for the World is my favorite. As of last year, the group was still performing. Ronald Isely the original member and lead singer is 79 years old and still sounds great. Other members consist of children of original members or cousins. The Isely Brothers career spans over seven decades.
"For the Love of You," "Groove with You," "Pride," and "Summer Breeze," are among my favs by the Isleys. But they have so many greats, I won't list them all. LOVED YOUR REACTION!!!
The Isley brother's have been around since the 50's and one of the bands that influenced the Beatles. Generations of talent within the family has kept the music fresh and still influential. Suggestions Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 and/or Make me smile. Terry Kath IMHO 2nd best guitarist ever. Yes - Roundabout i promise you its like nothing you have ever heard and your head will explode. Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath again something you never heard anything like it.
Saw these cats in 75 in PHX and these boys didn’t let off the gas for three hours straight! Man these cats brought it that night. My crew and I went and had breakfast at 2am and talked about the concert the whole time.
Isley Brother great songs include : Harvest for the World, For the Love of You, Make Me say it again girl, Groove with you, Sensuality, Here we go again, Fight the Power, Footsteps in the Dark, Choosey Lover, Hello It's Me, Between the Sheets, Don't Say Goodnight, Liquid Love, Voyage to Atlantis, I wanna Be with you, It's your thang ....... just to name a few ! They have been making great music for a long , long time !
I loved this back in high school because of the Beautiful Ernie Isley solo. You can hear the Hendrix influence. Beautiful jazzy rhythm guitar too. Ernie is no slouch.
I know you’ve probably heard this a lot… Old people used to listened to some good music back in our day. The radio didn’t have just one kind of music. One station would play R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and folk. So we listened to all the music!!
BRUH. The Isley Brothers catalog is RIDICULOUS. SERIOUSLY. "Take Me To The Next Phase, Pts. 1 and 2", "Living In The Life/Go For Your Guns", "Footsteps In The Dark", "Hope You Feel Better", I could go ALL DAMN DAY LONG naming hits.
Wow! I was in my late teens when I would crank up my 8 track player in my 68 GTO and just groove to the Isley Brothers. Thank you so much for this reminder for a long forgotten song in my head. :)
Now…..just imagine hearing this in the 70’s in high school! I saw them live way back then & they were freakin amazing! I was cracking up when you were groovin in the music & then everything crashed! Sorry dude, but any song that can do that, is a keeper! 🤘🎶🎸
You must listen to "Living for the Love of You" by the Isley Brothers. The year it dropped EVERYBODY had the Album. No matter where you went to a house, a park, walking down the street you heard it. It was the Summer Jam. Also listen to "Shout" by them. It was one of their first BIG hits..put them on the Charts.
i love you man,,,,, i am 70 years old...lived thru all of musics evolution. but still sweet soulful music like this m,akes me dream i am out of my wheelchair dancing with you.
James- I see the next song up was “Papa Was A Rolling Stone “ by the Temptations. That one is a MUST! as well! The Isley’s are legendary, too! They are the roots and inspiration for so much!
Growing up in the 70's, my teen years, I was all in when it came to rock n roll. It's my main staple of music listening. Back then it was popular to listen to the radio. AM actually broadcast the mainstay of music listening. For me it was WLS and WCFL out of Chicago. Incorporated with all the rock on the rock stations, Motown and songs like this were implemented into the menu. I was fortunate to be exposed to all that great music. Why I still love it to this day
My favorite band of all time ! So underated ! From « Twist & Shout » in 50’s to « Contagious » in the 00’s They have soooo many hits : « Between The Sheets », « It’s Your Thing », « For The Love Of You », « Highways of my Life », « Footsteps In the Dark » They sing Twist, Doo-Wop, Rock&Roll, Classic Soul, Funk, Disco, 90’s R&B..
They have been in the business for more than 50 years. They have had hits in every decade since they started until 1990's. Between the Sheets, Footsteps in the dark, Voyage to Atlantis, and many others.
Back in the day we had the hippest disco called the Lighthouse. It had a huge dance floor with frosted nylon floor panels that had programmed colored lights beneath them. So cool. They always kicked the festivities off with this song. Psychedelic, flashing multi colored floor panels moving in designed patterns, huge mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling with spotlights on it, then the strobe lights came in making the dancers look like unearthly robots, and......oh......the ladies....Ahhhhh
I agree with a couple of other comments that you should definitely listen to "This Old Heart of Mine" but I would also add my favorite by The Isley Brothers from 1962 " Twist and Shout". It's the original and much more soulful than all the later covers.
The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, that started as a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley in the 1950s. With a career spanning over seven decades, the group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the "longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music". In 1973, the Isleys released "3 + 3", which included the Top 10 hit single "That Lady" and a UK Top 10 cover of "Summer Breeze". Incorporating hard rock and folk-rock as well as funk and soulful balladry, the album became their breakthrough hit, eventually selling over two million copies. The following year, the album Live It Up reached gold. In 1975, the brothers made one of their most successful recordings, The Heat Is On, which featured the hits "Fight the Power" and "For the Love of You", and became their first album to reach number 1 on the Pop LP chart, going double-platinum at two million copies sold. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Isley_Brothers
I just learned that this 1973 song was a seventies reworking of a song they originally had a hit with in 1963. They had hits from the late 1950s through the mid-1990s. Their seventies stuff really shows some great guitar work. Songs from this late sixties-seventies period you'd probably like are "It's Your Thing" (1969), one of the songs most associated with them; "Pop That Thang" (1972); "Live It Up" (1974); "Fight the Power" (1975); "Livin' in the Life" (1977); "Take Me to the Next Phase" (1978); and "It's a Disco Night" (1979). In the early seventies, they also had hits with some excellent covers of songs by contemporary artists like Bob Dylan, War, Stephen Stills, and Seals and Croft.
What'd I tell ya, Lil Bruh? !!!!! That was Ernie Isley on guitar, the only serious rival to Jimi Hendrix after he passed, honest to God. Next, the extended dance jam they did of "Fight the Power." And of course, you gotta check out Funkadelic ("Maggot Brain" -- another extended psychedelic guitar jam, but slower than "Who's That Lady" -- and "One Nation Under a Groove"), Ohio Players ("Love Rollercoaster" and "Skin Tight"), and The Gap Band ("You Dropped a Bomb on Me" and "Shake").
The Isley brothers have been making hit records, since the 50’s they have been relevant in the music industry for over 60 years, their in the rock and roll hall of fame, so any song you choose from their catalog will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ernie Isley, one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
He is not unrated
as if Hendrix were in a funk band!
By who?
The Isleys are ICONIC. They have multiple hits, Summer Breeze, Harvest for the World is my favorite. As of last year, the group was still performing. Ronald Isely the original member and lead singer is 79 years old and still sounds great. Other members consist of children of original members or cousins.

Harvest for the World is my favorite too!
For more 70's Isley Brothers "Fight The Power" is a good one.
Parts one and two!
Takin' it to the next level.
YesssFight the Power!!!!
That Lady is an absolute masterpiece. I loved it the first time I heard it in 1977 & it still amazes me today...Ernie Isley is magic on guitar
Great old school R & B. "It's Your Thing" is a great tune by them.
Isley Bros - This Old Heart of Mine
"For the Love of You," "Groove with You," "Pride," and "Summer Breeze," are among my favs by the Isleys. But they have so many greats, I won't list them all. LOVED YOUR REACTION!!!
Summer Breeze. Excellent suggestion.
Can't go wrong with any of ths Isley Brothers.
oh my god--"for the love of you" was the slow dance song you never wanted to end
Another vote for "Summer Breeze"
Bro, they were the epitome of classic R&B, funk, rock. You will love all that you listen too. Blue lights in the basement smooth, trust me.
My favorite Isley Brothers tune is “This Old Heart of Mine”
💖💖
The version with IB and Rod Stewart is good too.
@@brewswillis9783 Yes but I really prefer the original.
@@garybrockie6327 Agreed. I also like Rod Stewart's slow version that was on Atlantic Crossing.
James, you will love their "Its Your Thing" and "This Old Heart Of Mine"
That's Ernie's unique guitar sound.
I can identify that Ernie guitar sound in two notes
The Isley brother's have been around since the 50's and one of the bands that influenced the Beatles. Generations of talent within the family has kept the music fresh and still influential.
Suggestions
Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 and/or Make me smile. Terry Kath IMHO 2nd best guitarist ever.
Yes - Roundabout i promise you its like nothing you have ever heard and your head will explode.
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath again something you never heard anything like it.
Saw these cats in 75 in PHX and these boys didn’t let off the gas for three hours straight! Man these cats brought it that night. My crew and I went and had breakfast at 2am and talked about the concert the whole time.

Harvest for the World!
These dudes made music together for over 50 years. They got more good songs than you can imagine.
I loved this back in high school because of the Beautiful Ernie Isley solo. You can hear the Hendrix influence. Beautiful jazzy rhythm guitar too. Ernie is no slouch.
The Isley Brothers are priceless. Please try Between the Sheets, Summer Breeze and It's Your Thing. Thanks for this.
It's Your Thing is another excellent song.
Summer Breeze was a good remake!
Between the sheets
I know you’ve probably heard this a lot… Old people used to listened to some good music back in our day. The radio didn’t have just one kind of music. One station would play R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and folk. So we listened to all the music!!
This is my favorite Isley Brothers song...I even still have the 45.
I got the 8-track 🤘🏼
Their cover version of the Seals and Crofts song "Summer Breeze" is sublime.
I’m a 60 year old white lady and this song is and was one of my favorites
Me too I’m 66 yrs old
I adore your innocent, surprised reactions to these older hits!!!! 🎼💜🎼💜🎼💜 Enjoy the journey!!!!
This is what you get when you mix soul and funk and you get the recipe just right.
I love The Isley Brothers ft. R. Kelly Contagious. Who's that Lady was one of my mamas faves, great reaction.
Jam brother Jam, impossible not to...
- Summer Breeze too
Great song. Some history. These are all brothers real brothers. And almost every song made the top 20.
Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers
Ernie Isley on guitar!!
Truly a great band!
Always one of my favorites by them
Loved the Isley Brothers since the 70's!!!! OH YES!!!! THAT'S A SAVE!!!!
"Shout" is my favorite by them. Making Cincinnati Proud!
You’ll absolutely LOVE their song FIGHT THE POWER!❤️ Funk at it’s best☺️
That guitar is so good!
BRUH. The Isley Brothers catalog is RIDICULOUS. SERIOUSLY. "Take Me To The Next Phase, Pts. 1 and 2", "Living In The Life/Go For Your Guns", "Footsteps In The Dark", "Hope You Feel Better", I could go ALL DAMN DAY LONG naming hits.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU BE FEELING THEM OK SKOOL JAMS....THEY ALWAYS THA SHYT...✌🏿♥️💯👏🏾👏🏾...PLUS I'M A OL SKOOL LOVER FOREVER!!!!!!!
Wow! I was in my late teens when I would crank up my 8 track player in my 68 GTO and just groove to the Isley Brothers. Thank you so much for this reminder for a long forgotten song in my head. :)
The Isley bros are one of the most underappreciated bands of all time!..a very young Jimi Hendrix used to play with them..he taught Ernie Isley..
One of my top ten favorite songs.....EVER. Love it!!
Now…..just imagine hearing this in the 70’s in high school!
I saw them live way back then & they were freakin amazing!
I was cracking up when you were groovin in the music & then everything crashed! Sorry dude, but any song that can do that, is a keeper! 🤘🎶🎸
Here we go again the Isley brothers
Such a great song from 1973, years before the disco started. You can't help but want to hit the dance floor with this song.
One of the Isley Brothers is guitarist, Ernie Isley. Check out some of his solo work.
Ernie is one of the great under-rated guitar gods. Prince studied this guys licks.
This is old school. Thus is when music was great. R&B, Soul, dancing music, love music, good rock and fusion.
Love this tune. Could play it on a loop all day.
You must listen to "Living for the Love of You" by the Isley Brothers. The year it dropped EVERYBODY had the Album. No matter where you went to a house, a park, walking down the street you heard it. It was the Summer Jam.
Also listen to "Shout" by them. It was one of their first BIG hits..put them on the Charts.
'Footsteps In the Dark' was a classic by the Isley's. Ice Cube sampled it for 'It Was A Good Day'.
CLASSIC phaser fuzz guitar. Ernie Isley was the truth. Check the insane cover of Summer Breeze from the same album.
i love you man,,,,, i am 70 years old...lived thru all of musics evolution. but still sweet soulful music like this m,akes me dream i am out of my wheelchair dancing with you.
James- I see the next song up was “Papa Was A Rolling Stone “ by the Temptations. That one is a MUST! as well!
The Isley’s are legendary, too! They are the roots and inspiration for so much!
Growing up in the 70's, my teen years, I was all in when it came to rock n roll. It's my main staple of music listening.
Back then it was popular to listen to the radio. AM actually broadcast the mainstay of music listening. For me it was WLS and WCFL out of Chicago.
Incorporated with all the rock on the rock stations, Motown and songs like this were implemented into the menu. I was fortunate to be exposed to all that great music. Why I still love it to this day
1970s Isley Bros. great song. Thanks for playing this. Been a long time. It's like it's 1973 again, and I'm watching "Soul Train" on TV.
I love how you get into this music, you're a joy to watch!
Listen to "Choosey Lover" by the Isley Brothers, a definite Jam!
I love their song "This old heart of mine" by them. Shout is also great by the Isley Brothers. They were great in the 60's and 70's.
Every one of their songs are good.
"Footsteps In The Dark".......sampled by Ice Cube for "Today Was A Good Day"
I love The Isley Brothers. They're influence in music history is so unappreciated and overlooked. Early on a young Jimi Hendrix played with them....
Great reaction. I saw The Isley Bros twice in concert. They are freakin I saw The Isley Bros twice in concert. They are freakin
Seeing them play this live on Soul Train is a must. Its brilliant !
Harvest for the World is amazing...
Isley Brothers- Coolin Me Out, Between The Sheets, Groove With You, Once Had Your Love, Don't Wanna Be Lonely Tonight & Footsteps In The Dark
My favorite band of all time ! So underated ! From « Twist & Shout » in 50’s to « Contagious » in the 00’s They have soooo many hits : « Between The Sheets », « It’s Your Thing », « For The Love Of You », « Highways of my Life », « Footsteps In the Dark »
They sing Twist, Doo-Wop, Rock&Roll, Classic Soul, Funk, Disco, 90’s R&B..
You getting it now. You can't go wrong with The Isley Brothers, they have had hit after hit, from the sixties, to where they still perform today.
They have been in the business for more than 50 years. They have had hits in every decade since they started until 1990's. Between the Sheets, Footsteps in the dark, Voyage to Atlantis, and many others.
Summer Breeze and Shout are worth listening to.
More Isley Bros, try Between the sheets, Voyage to Atlantis, For the love of you parts 1&2.
Gotta do Shout. It’s a must do... I think it’s there first hit too
Anything from 1973 to 1980 is brilliant but footsteps in the dark is a killer tune.
for the love of you by the isley brothers the smoothest song you ever hear
The Isley Brothers Between the Sheets
here are some other brothers. The Chambers brothers, Time Has Come Today
ISLEY BROTHERS ....u really gonna dance to this one!!!
FIGHT THE POWER
FIGHT THE POWER
FIGHT THE POWER
FIGHT THE POWER
Isley Brothers - Here We Go Again
Oh HELLS YEAH!!!!
Ernie Isley Shreddin that guitar!
Back in the day we had the hippest disco called the Lighthouse. It had a huge dance floor with frosted nylon floor panels that had programmed colored lights beneath them. So cool. They always kicked the festivities off with this song. Psychedelic, flashing multi colored floor panels moving in designed patterns, huge mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling with spotlights on it, then the strobe lights came in making the dancers look like unearthly robots, and......oh......the ladies....Ahhhhh

So many, you would have to listen to each album and you still will have a hard time choosing a favorite.
The Isley Brothers had nothing but hits!
The guitarist is the youngest brother. He was a Jimmi Hendrix fan. He stepped in after Jimmie Hendrix left the band. He sure filled those shoes 👞
Ernie Isley is considred one of rock guitar gods he played with Jimi Hendrix.and Santana.
Another 70s hit song. Lots of memories from this.
Four Tops .Baby I Need Your Lovin from the Motown label you'll love
I'll Be There when he reviews it James.
As you say. That Fire right there
Another classic soul song

" behind a painted smile " is an excellent track
Ooooh... this glorious piece of funk just took me right back to my childhood!! Thanks for the ride!!
One of the few Black groups at the time that was played on R and B AND Rock radio stations.,
This was my brother's favorite song and I grew up listening in the 70s.
The 5th Dimension - Let The Sun Shine In
What'd I tell ya, Lil Bruh? !!!!! That was Ernie Isley on guitar, the only serious rival to Jimi Hendrix after he passed, honest to God. Next, the extended dance jam they did of "Fight the Power."

Classic R&B is the best.
If you want a real jolt, listen to one of the most intense songs ever written: SHOUT by the Isley Brothers
Hit pause again, headphones couldn’t handle Ronnie’s solo..........okay fixed.........hit play 😢😳❤️❤️❤️❤️
Between the Sheets is a MUST.
I remember this song! It's so smooth!
