    That Bass, that Bass is hitting so HARD. Glad to have grown up in the bad ass 70's
    The music defined that era.

      Tommy; u r PREACHING 2 THE CHOIR!!!!! I couldn't have said it better myself. Music's COLOR-BLIND (& always will b). Again; if R & B/Soul/Disco/Jazz/Funk is "Black" Music, then ROCK & ROLL/HEAVY METAL must b "White Music"? Oh, please; LIVING COLOR (w/Corey Glover, Vernon Reid, & Doug Wimbush) play ROCK MUSIC. There4; how's ROCK MUSIC based on 1's SKIN COLOR? REALLY? WTF?

      It's obviously debatable on whom came first: George Clinton or the Isley Brothers as both acts started their careers in the late 1950s and have influenced scores of rap/hip hop acts to come.

However, The Isley Brothers' "Twist & Shout" charted in 1959 as did "Shout" (which Otis Day & The Knigjts covered in "Animal House").

    Red tape in the way

    I was in college in the 70's. My SR year at the Univ of Pgh, I rented an apt with a classmate only to discover the day we moved in the ahole B4 us had left his dog there without food & water for 3 days. After we cleaned up all the dog crap and had the carpets cleaned, it took him another week to come get his dog. He'd been a DJ at a radio station and had milk crates in his storage unit full of promotional albums that he'd nicked from the station. He never came back to get them. Forever Gold was one of my first picks from the lot and listen to it all the time. For an old white boy from western PA, the Isley's are still the epitome of great lyrics, awesome funk and virtuoso musicianship.

      Cedric Edwards You're Right However what you're failing to understand is that White Folks feel the same way!! Ain't about Black and White But about Rich and Poor! We live in a Capitalist society and Racism is Alive and Well in this Society because the Elitists want to keep the races divided in order to keep their Capital. The White Man Is Not Your Enemy!! The 1% that hold 90% of the Capital is the Enemy of All people in this country!! Black People, White People and everybody in between!! Stop letting the Powers that be Win. United We Stand and Divided we Fall! Let's Unite!!

      rashard zanders Oh so you're a Hater! You're part of the problem! It's people like you that keep hate and racial divisions alive to the applaud and amusement to the rich man. No you're Right! I don't know Totally about black issues But You don't know what it's like to be a poor white man either! I commented on this song because I Love it And it applies to us as well But you wouldn't know that cause you do nothing but wear narrow minded glasses. PLUS You definitely got me all wrong cause I ain't apologizing for shit. My Irish people have been enslaved by the British Elitists by over 800 years! Beheaded, Starved to Death, Beat, Robbed, Lynched, and Shot by the same Powers you Hate. But do I hate all British People? No I Don't cause I don't blame an entire race or ethnicity for what their Royalty bestowed upon My People!! You are nothing but a Puppet for The Rich Man with your thinking that serves Nothing but enable them to Keep their Power and Control over the masses! You Sir are part of the problem and to ignorant to realize it. You are no better than the KKK. Hope you wake up and not let your Hate blind you!!
