No blessing beats, no sampling, this is creativity and great song writing and composition. They are the composers. Ron Isley voice is just perfect for their music. Too many jams by them to mention.
By the way, the 3 oldest brothers (including lead singer Ronald) started recording in the mid 50s. Then in 1973, two younger brothers along with a "brother-in-law" joined in to make up the 6. Also, even though the older 3 had success & hits, the younger 3 came in and updated their sound to that trademark "Isley Brothers Sound" that we all know and love them for. (Somebody is killin' it today!) Good reaction!
Imagine the impact this music had on a white boy with no rhythm? I was hypnotized, in a trance, and freaked out before that was a known condition. I played their LPs over and over...amazing! I tried to discuss this band with my white friends to no avail. I am so happy this music is being rediscovered by a younger generation. Hopefully, this will create a desire to make this type of music again in the future.
These are lyrics...love lyrics.... Day will make a way for night, all we'll need is candle light and song...soft and long....WHAT!!! Lovely as a ray of sun, that touches me when the morning comes.....unh....
Back in 1975 there were so many great and talented artists and bands. And The Isley Brothers were right there at the top. And deservedly. As a matter of fact, I felt blessed to have experienced their albums during the mid 1970's. It seemed to me that it didn't matter what genre the music was, I liked most every song on any radio station I listened to. Those were some very joyful years for me, Ashley. I'm happy you had a chance to listen to their beautiful music.
The look on your face hearing stuff like this for first time tells me how much you like it..I’ve heard this music a million times through the 50’s 60’s and 70’s and it never gets old
The thing is the music created in the early 70’s to mid 80’s by the Isley Brothers, EWF, Commodores, Whispers, K&TG, Spinners, Ohio Players and O’Jay’s followed by groups in the late 70’s early 80’s created a musical genre the youngsters born in the 90’s til now cannot comprehend. We are talking about the core of all music played even today. Since almost everything you hear is sampled from that 15 year period. R&B, Soul, & Funk is the Foundation of almost all music created today, and timeless tracks that are relevant listening to this day. Reactions by Ashley and most of the reaction bloggers under 35 years old is a clear testament to this fact. Some have never even heard of these groups or solo artist like Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergast, Peabody Bryson, Patti Labelle, Stephanie Mills or Tina Marie. How is that possible with a catalog of no less than 500 hit songs from that period from them and others. Talking about a SMH MOMENT. These kids and I do mean kids 35 or not will have too get with the program and get your headphones on and listen.
So Aug.1 is the day Ashley's going to drop all the jams on my head? I'm about to pass out! So many many good good memories! I can't help it, whenever I hear these songs I grew up on, I can't help but to feel so sorry our young girls and young women are not serenaded this by men anymore. It was very special.
They originally started out in the 50s as just three of them. They added another brother in later that decade. They added the 5th brother along with their brother-in-law Chris in the early 70s. Ronald, lead singer, Ernie, Guitar and Chris who became a gospel singer are still alive.
Jimi Hendrix played guitar with the group in the early years before he blew up. However, he left his mark on Ernie Isley. From his costumes to his guitar riffs, look and listen. The Hendrix influence is evident. 👌🏿
They were one of "The Battle Of The Bands" groups (Isley Bros, New Birth, Mandrill & WAR) back in the 70s. That's when a concert lasted for at least 3 hrs.!!! It doesn't get better than this.💯🔥🎶💖
I am glad you’re enjoying the blessings from the Isleys. So did all the soulful baby boomers. The difference is you could binge on their music. We had to wait for the songs to be released. Bingeing was something you did with a bottle of booze back then. They were too smooth! You have to get into some of their earlier recordings. Remember, they have been blessing us with this sound from the 50s! One of my favorite songs was “Its your Thing” recorded in 1969. FYI: They also performed live at Yankee Stadium to a packed house in 1969. Great stuff!
The main influence in the Isley Brothers sound from 1973-83 was the younger 3 members especially Chris Jasper's (the brother in law) writing and producing and of course Ron Isley on lead vocals
That's what this old school music does baby it sings to those ladies it's things to them it tells a story you know what I'm saying it's all about the ladies
The Isleys started off as trio of brothers Ronald, Rudolph, O'Kelly. By the 70's their membership consisted of 6 brothers and Rudolph's brother in-law Chris Jasper who was an amazing musician.
Your reaction cracked me up-- "Baby" Lol. Sorry to say this like this BUT this is only one of the Isley brothers songs that will " take you THERE"- if you know where I'm coming from. All that I'm giving-- GIVING-- whew!! Lol
I am new to this channel and I must say you have cornered the podcast market for 70's love songs. Have you done Isley Brothers "AT YOUR BEST YOU ARE LOVE"?
Ahh , the Isley Brothers. In the 70’s you had to know how to dance. The parties were great in high school. And yes your praying grandma was partying back then.
From that same album check out Sensuality. This track followed For the Love of You the next track is Make Me Say It Again Girl. Straight 🔥 The one, two, three punch. I was only 15 listening to this when it came out … no experience like these songs were about But I could feel what they were putting down 😂. They are my favorite band.
This is a must on the Love Jams mix tape! You haven't reacted to Rush - the greatest three man band ever. Please do Xanadu Exit Stage Left (Stick Hits HD version). The song is from 1977 but the live concert video from 1981. The talent will blow you away! And, the Rush Army will show up with excellent commentary for you and tons of views. The Rush rabbit hole awaits you!
Funny you went right to the beat, this song was sampled on the Tupac track "Bury Me a G" and once again by Freddie Gibbs on "For Tha G." Was introduced to the Isley Brothers through this sample and what an amazing catalog
Gir…. You’re not lying, we were in trouble, I had a boyfriend as a teen who use to know every lyrics to everybody songs and loved to serenade me while slow dancing in the dark, he could actually sing himself too. He had me snowed in, because our music made it had to not be in passionate love. You missed out, because it don’t exist anymore.
The Isley Brothers were group. I wanted to be in love because of their music. We had a lot of love songs like Marvin Gaye - Last dance and To keep you satisfied. Ojays Cry together and Loving you
The Isley's were more than a group, they were a band. They wrote and created music, no sampling. Jimi Hendrex got his start with the Isley's before moving on to Little Richard
No beats. Actual musicians in the group.
No blessing beats, no sampling, this is creativity and great song writing and composition. They are the composers. Ron Isley voice is just perfect for their music. Too many jams by them to mention.
No group will ever beat them
EWF
@@margoferguson9341 It’s close between them too
Isley Brothers made no bad music. All there music was gold and still is
A lot of babies conceived while listening to one my very songs ever. The Isley Bros are so smooth.
Baby makin R&B 101 // wins everytime !!!
😂when he hit that giving, giving, and she said excuse me ?... She seems to have a great ear, and genuine appreciation for good music
The Isley brothers deserve their own playlist.
My FAVORITE Isley Bros song
By the way, the 3 oldest brothers (including lead singer Ronald) started recording in the mid 50s. Then in 1973, two younger brothers along with a "brother-in-law" joined in to make up the 6.

(Somebody is killin' it today!) Good reaction!
Yup they did the song "Shout" back either late 50s or early 60s
The "brother-in-law" wrote the bulk of their hits, including this one. 💛
I’m a 60s baby, teenager in the 70s. Don’t want to sound like I’m bragging, but we had hella music, and could enjoy WITHOUT DRAMA!!!!!!
Oh yeah, couldn't wait for the next albums. 😉
You are not lying. Yesssssss brag. The best music in that era.
Yes Indeed 1960s baby as well. Grew up in the fab1970s. The best music of all time!!!
60's baby here too. You said it. Best musical era ❤️
Puerto rican here born and raised in Chicago . This is stepping music❤.
Musicians. Ernie Isley on guitar is iconic. Their whole sound -🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The appreciation that you show for good music of my life.
It something else to see younger people react to what was.
Imagine the impact this music had on a white boy with no rhythm? I was hypnotized, in a trance, and freaked out before that was a known condition. I played their LPs over and over...amazing! I tried to discuss this band with my white friends to no avail. I am so happy this music is being rediscovered by a younger generation. Hopefully, this will create a desire to make this type of music again in the future.
This group in its different iterations, have spanned 8 decades and are unmatched! Simply a great collection of singers and musicians!!!
The whole b-side of that album is FIRE! The 3rd song, Make Me Say it Again Girl, can make you feel some kind of way, lol
These are lyrics...love lyrics.... Day will make a way for night, all we'll need is candle light and song...soft and long....WHAT!!! Lovely as a ray of sun, that touches me when the morning comes.....unh....

The WHISPERS SAY. YES PLAY THIS
My favorite group in all genres! And it’s not even close!!!
No beats, they played instruments to get those sounds

What a summer when this first came out, it was played every second, and love was definitely in the air!!!❤
Real musicians writing., singing, and playing their own originals.
Your face with this one is priceless. The love songs from back in the day will do that to you.
THE STYLISTICS - STOP - LOOK - Listen
This girl love her some soul
these boys got down hard, and their catalog starts 60's deep.
The music did all the work
Im an old head..lol..I randomly sing this song all of the time...walking in the store, at home, whatever...lol...
This song is the opening song to the soundtrack that is my life. I was 6 when this came out and it hits my heart every time it's on🥰
They are the longest performing r&b group in the world. Thats a fact.
FBA/ADOS our music can never be touched there were so many great bands with real talent every group just as good as the next .
"Lovely as a ray of sun, that touches me when the morning comes," "Feels good to me!!!..." and it goes on......!!! Wow!!!
So Aug.1 is the day Ashley's going to drop all the jams on my head? I'm about to pass out! So many many good good memories! I can't help it, whenever I hear these songs I grew up on, I can't help but to feel so sorry our young girls and young women are not serenaded this by men anymore. It was very special.
Luv your natural look 😊

If this one gets to her, I can't wait for the' Hello it's me' reaction or 'Tears'
One of music's finest groups!Pay homage a definitive catalog...top shelf category...it's in my top 5..Best and favorite songs..ever!!!
Ashley, I told you there was more! You can’t have only one favorite. Check out “Between The Sheets”. So hot that Biggie sampled it.
I love your reaction ❤
Actual Fact a young Elton John played keyboards for them on their 1964 European Tour along with Jimi Hendrix as a guitarist for the Isley's
really like their song Footsteps in the Dark
That's what this old school music does baby it sings to those ladies it's things to them it tells a story you know what I'm saying it's all about the ladies
The late, great Whitney Houston does a cover of this song that is absolutely spellbinding. That's the one to react to.
Ronny's voice is so soulful, smooth & sexy.
The Isleys started off as trio of brothers Ronald, Rudolph, O'Kelly. By the 70's their membership consisted of 6 brothers and Rudolph's brother in-law Chris Jasper who was an amazing musician.
The song titled "What's Come Over Me" by the group called "Blue Magic" is a good one too
Your reaction cracked me up-- "Baby" Lol. Sorry to say this like this BUT this is only one of the Isley brothers songs that will " take you THERE"- if you know where I'm coming from. All that I'm giving-- GIVING-- whew!!
Lol

I am new to this channel and I must say you have cornered the podcast market for 70's love songs. Have you done Isley Brothers "AT YOUR BEST YOU ARE LOVE"?

Steppers paradise, period
Harvest for the world is one of their best try it!❤
Oh yessssssss. Glad you keep riding this train. Now jump into their funk with Fight The Power.
It is funny you say Beats who played their own instruments and created their music
Oh, and the 2nd song on that B-side, Sensuality? Beware! Um, late night vibes only....
The Isley's are five Brothers and one Brother in Law Chris Jasper.
Chris Jasper and Ernie Isley were mostly responsible for the timeless 70s cuts...
They have so many songs I love. I'll introduce you to " Groove with you "
That's Chris Jasper on Keytar.
Tha jam! More heat!
That's all family. Live instruments and vocals
I love it!!!
Here's a fast one to add to Groove with you. " The Pride " You should easily be delighted by both.
This was a great song. It was sexy in the 60s and 70s. I was a teenager, and for me it was the best time ever.
Not The Isley Brothers too! lol....Yeah, you're on a mission today! (somebody bring her a fan...)
In between the sheets will have you up out of that chair😂😂
Ahh , the Isley Brothers. In the 70’s you had to know how to dance. The parties were great in high school. And yes your praying grandma was partying back then.

You really need to check out Sparkle from Cameo.
Hi Ashley, have you listened to Peabo Bryson? Try 1 Feel the fire, 2 I'm so into you. Let me know what you thank.
As good as it gets.
Idk if you have but you need to do the Isley Brothers " Make Me Say It Again " now that's some good music for real !!!
