From minutes 16 to 18, the audio is a tab bit off(by 5 secs). This happened during the process of uploading from my editing program to youtube. I hope this doesn't take away from your experience with the video.
Good job!👍🏽
What a great VIDEO👏🏼🏆👀the research you did🏆🏆🏆, this is my first time seeing videos, you won me over👑👀💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I love ❤️ seeing and reading about legend groups...I grew up listening to the isley Brothers in the 60s...so keep up the great works on all of our legendary groups
Isley brothers wasn't a band, they were/are a group.
The Isley Brothers are the only act to have hits during the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, & 00's
and as pointed out in the video: the twenty twentys
The thing about the Isleys band is that in their prime they had no weakness. They could do any genre.
The Isley Brothers are probably the only group from the 1950s and 1960s that’s popular with the younger generation.
It was my understanding that Elton John was picked up, while JIMI Hendrix was dropped for their UK Tour.
You couldn't touch them in the 70s, when Chris Jasper added those compkex, phat synthesized lines, along with Ernie and Marvin...
Say it again!
They can't do nothing with them today
13:56 I think this is where they were at their full powers. For the Love of You and Between the Sheets are certified Hood Classics
@@DwayneIsK1NG My favourite is the album,"Go For Your Guns" from 1977. Bass heavy, funky jams, melodic slow cuts. And Chris Jasper is just plain wicked on"The Pride"...
@@DwayneIsK1NG I agree
The greatest family group. Chris Jasper definitely deserves credit for creating some of those great hits.
Whoa, I say the same thing, he's never mentioned, look at my comment
@@thaxdrugdealer1988 He also did his own version of For The Love Of You and it’s even better than the original czcams.com/video/UE9Y5cbZP6k/video.html
CHRIS JASPER WAS PART OF THE
ISLEYS 3+3 KELLY RUDOLPH RONALD
AND ERNIE MARVIN CHRIS JASPER
THE YOUNG ONES HAD TO FIGHT
TO BE HEARD... ESPECIALLY CHRIS JASPER STRUCK OUT ON HIS OWN...
JB ok
Think they fell out....
@@jonjones7137
Yep yep...but the money 🤑 made did not fall out...HALF EDDIE HALF..

The Isley Brothers has been making good music for decades a lot music artists covered their songs and of course The Isley’s covered some of artistes songs too as well and they are still doing their thing. R. I. P. to ones that they lost Vernon, O’Kelly , and Marvin 🙏🏾
Ernie was my primary influence on guitar before I switched to drums. To this day, when white guitar cats start espousing praise on Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page & then they mention Jimi (Hendrix) in a tag-along fashion, I AM quick to quiz them about Ernie Isley so that the brother & his brothers get the musical respect that is just due. The Isley Brothers were the perfect sonic blend between R&B/Soul, Funk & Rock. Their classic "Fight The Power" was a game changer for me. 🎵🎵🎵
Ernie Isley was the first influence on my life. (at 4yrs old). Hearing the solos on "Who's that Lady/Climbing up the Ladder" made me want a guitar. I eventually moved on to "THE MAN"Jimi Hendrix, but Ernie/the Isley's were my starting point. Of course, I still Love Them very much.👍
In the Isley Brothers "3+3" era (the 70s), Ernie had a different color Fender Stratocaster on every cover while Marvin did the same with a Fender Jazz Bass. Somehow, it never occurred to the Fender Musical Instrument Company to give the band an instrument endorsement despite the parent company, CBS, distributing the Isley's T-Neck label imprint and LPs!! To this day, no Jimi Hendrix Strat exists!! There's a Clapton, SRV, Beck, and David Gilmore models along with a host of Strats from bands no one has ever heard of, but no Hendrix model? I was told by a company rep once black artist endorsements don't translate into sales. Really?!
@@chrisclermont456 great insight. The way I see it, We are endorsed by the most High. Money is not Our God(although for some of us, different discussion, different rant).
@@chrisclermont456 that's exactly WHY I tell my music theory/drum students that racism exists in the musical realms (education, industry, history, instrument manufacturers, etc.) just like it does in the rest of this country's fabric. Being a musician does not translate into racial/cultural immunity; matter of fact, quite the opposite!
I love Ernie... People act as though the white acts have the best musicians. Not saying any genre is interior, but many of these dudes ( especially Rock Heads) continuously skip over musicians like Ernie, Prince, Larry Graham, Bootsy, and my favorite axe molester Mike " Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton
I’m so happy to know some of their biggest hits were recorded independently with distribution!!! That’s how you do it!!!
Extreme recognition is deserved for this group.
Hood Legends eternal. The mainstream turned their backs on these maestros of music which is fine to me.
I grew up in Cincinnati, live here to this day. Started playing drums in 61. Started playing free shows with different groups on fountain Square. The Isleys would pull up in their caddys get out watch. Talk about being nervous, okelly , Rudy were the coolest guys you could ever meet. They would watch the show and tell you where you needed to improve
And they were right every time. They would tell us about the latest tour or record release. They never forget their old friends in the hood trying to make it and they would help were ever they could. Bootsy Collins the same way.
Damn I’m jealous! nice story man, in all seriousness and shout out to you for doing what you love
Iconic!, Rest in Peace; O'Kelly, Rudolph, Marvin (the beautiful). Chris changed the game for the Isley sound, handsome and Brilliant!! Ernie and Ron, pure talent! Real R&B legacy music. May God bless you Chris, Ernie and Ron, stay healthy and retain your joy and peace. Someday we will all be caught up, and we will see our love ones again. ❤
Great piece, I absolutely love the Isley brothers. They definitely never got their true flowers, One of the greatest musical groups ever🎤🔥💖
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy❤
Wow their brother must have had an amazing voice for him to be the lead singer over Ronald. Just a fun fact the Isley brothers gave Elton John his first start playing keyboards for them on tour!
Wow, had no idea about Elton John. Learn something new today.
Ron Isley has one of the most outstanding voices i ever heard.
Weird enough he wasn’t the original lead.. isn’t that weird
I grew up hearing the Beatles version of Twist and Shout. My sister had all the 70s classics. Contagious and Mr. Biggs is still one of the best musical sagas of pop and R&B music. Jimi Hendrix came up through them. The Isley Brothers place in history is set forever!
Elton John was picked up as keyboardist while Jimi got the boot for their UK tour 1964. This only spurred Jimi on to greater things to come.
I am glad you put this out. Younger people do not realize that they are one of the most talented musicians of the last 60 years. When you hear their music from the 50's, 60's, & 70's; and realize they have had hits in every decade; it is amazing. How they would take Rock music and add some funk and soul w/o changing the essence of the songs was and is excellent. They continue to inspire. My all time favorite group!!!!
This is one of my favorite groups from the 70’s they’re were truly a hot item back in the day, I believe my oldest brother who has now passed on to glory bought every album they produced back then ❤
I love that you play every song you mention. Nearly no other channel does this! Thank you.
Word. It makes a huge difference.
The of the best groups of all time hands down
I love love love an Isley ballad! Especially Don’t Say Goodnight, Make Me Say It Again!
I still jam to Ron Isley's "Contagious" (the music video is still funny too) 😁
The Beatles said that? Wow, I'm surprised I was born in the 50s and remember the Isley Brothers singing and doing concerts at the beach and Howard Theater in the Washington DC area in the 60s. They really took off when they got with Motown. There are so many songs that it would take a longer video to mention all of them, oh yes
Yes they had tooooo many hits. If I included every hit this video would’ve been at least 40 minutes
Chris jasper was a huge plus to the isley brothers because of his keyboard and production skills.
He played the drums too, on some of their biggest jams.
In the sixties my dad had several of there records and that's when I first heard of them but fight the power was the first record that I bought of them. Harvest of the world was my first eight track and go for your guns was my first album.
Glad to learn Paul McCartney acknowledged them, for the Beatles cover of Twist and Shout was a first big hit for them. That song should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame years before it was. When folks say the Beatles are the best group ever, I always assert the Isleys were big hit recording artists before AND after this so called "best" group from Liverpool. Indeed, blood is thicker!
The Beatles are far from so-called they are great extremely and that's not taken away from The Isley Brothers but the Beatles way up there Sergeant Pepper's lonely heart club band magical mystery tour The White album in the famous Abbey road and let it be!
@@ronaldwilliams4954 The Beatles are not better than the Isley Brothers.
My dad was a huge Isley’s fan and as I was surrounded by it I began to love em too! So many favorites ❤ Footsteps In The Dark, Hello It’s Me, Shout, Summer Breeze, you’re All I Need…. There’s just too many
Ron Isley said Motown was a very unpleasant experience for the Isleys and it's the first time I've ever heard anyone make negative comments about Holland Dozier Holland.
You did such a great job on this video. I have been a fan of the Isley brothers since the early 70's. I learned so much about one of my favorite groups. I have no choice but to subscribe to your channel. Keep it up my young brother!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yesss. I am looking forward to this video.
I played 3+3 for my 18 year old he was blown away😊
Raising him right. 💪🏾
This was cool as a fan of the Isley Brothers I never knew that Jimi Hendrix was apart of the group at one point but you a new subscriber bro 🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
Go For Your Gun album hit number 1 and still untouchable to this day.
Hell yeah, maybe their best album and one of the best albums of 1977. I still think 1977 soul/r&b was the best year for music. Go and check out the albums that came out that year. Incredible year.
"For The Love Of You" is my favorite song by The Isley Brothers. I always thought that Al Green sung that song because they sound just alike, that's when I was younger.
I really hope a Movie Will be produced While the remaining Isley Brothers are Still alive!
These brothers made history with there strength will to win hard work ethic never say die effort and always working on different sounds musically American music legends
The Isley Brothers are musical icons, hands down. Some of their classic hits were redone by other artists and should be considered the grandest of compliments because their music 🎼 has stood the test of time. Plus, The Isley Brothers are one of most sampled artists of all time by hip hop legends in their own right. That’s the impact and influence that The Isleys had on the culture has we know it. I don’t think that it can be any type of discussion about music without mentioning The Isley Brothers. Their contribution to music will never be forgotten.
Many artists have sampled from them also...
They undoubtedly made history when releasing “Fight the Power Pt. I/II” with a lyric that mentions the word “bullshit” - pretty shocking for early ‘70s radio
One of the greatest bands ever,decades and talk about staying fresh incredible talent. Respect. From twist and shout to Mr.Biggs Respect
The hitmakers for this group was CHRIS JASPER......ANGELA WINBUSH and R KELLY..
Great Documentary, like that you include snippets of the actual songs. Genius
WBPTV, you did it again. This is an excellent video about The Isley Brothers. I like so many of their songs, I can not list them. Keep bringing EXCELLENT videos. 🔥🔥🔥🏆👍❤💯

Young Man, You are to be Highly Commended for Your Stellar Presentation, Cohesiveness; and Thorough Research, of these Legendary, Talented Recording Artist Entertainers!❤👑👏🏼🤩The Isley Brothers are Definitely one of My ALL time Favorites, having hailed out of My Home State, Ohio!🎉I had all but forgotten about "I Guess I'll Always Love You" one of My Favorite songs!😢 I have worked With Mr. James Brown, Michael Jackson; as well as Many other Talents in The Music Industry, so Your Channel is Now My Favorite!🥰Thanks A Million, Love; And Perpetual Success!👑❤😎
My grandmother use to babysit the Isley Brothers back in the 1940's in Lincoln Heights,Ohio a neighborhood within Cincinnati. They were good friends with my eldest uncle and they grew up together before they left Ohio for New Jersey. RIH Grandma and Uncle Kendall.
Well done. I learned a lot that I had not known before.
I started listening to the Isley Brothers after I heard Ice Cube's song. Shout out to WBPTV!!!!!!!
You must be a. Youngter 😅❤
Great video The Isley Brothers had catalogs of hit for decades
I love me some Isley Brothers
Awesome 😍 love it! Thank you ❣️
Brother! Thank you for this very in depth and informative video. The Isley's have always been my favorite group, and Ernie is my FAVORITE guitarist ever. I was aware of their catalog but never explored the 60's era.
Legendary, multi-genre group for over 6 decades!
Love me some Ernie on the guitar. He looks the same.
Props to the Isleys for keeping the spirit of Jimi Hendrix alive.
One of my favorite bands and I’m 33 …so happy you did this bro
The Isley Brothers are the best every. My favorite favorite group
Great piece. I have more Isley songs downloaded than James Brown! And James is the MAN! Why wasn't Chris Jasper mentioned more? He's a master on the keyboards!

Great Video
NICE VIDEO YOU REALLY DID YOUR RESEARCH🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
during the early 70,s they were experimenting with popular white music like Carol King Seals Croft Jim Croce James Taylor and others. Up until this point it was unheard of. Yet during this period they had challenged the boundaries and or norms of mainstream pop culture with very little acknowledgement...This alone has put them in a unique musical stance unlike any other Brand name artist. Even to this day music Historians that speak of them gloss over this as if this were an accident. This is an example of them not getting their "DUE". Also it was Not Jimmy Hendrix but Jose Feliciano remake of "Light my fire" that inspired Ernest Isley to pick up the Guitar in 1971.
They weren't the only ones doing covers of "white music". This practice goes far back into the 60's when Joe Simon was doing Choking kind. Sam Cooke did Tennessee Waltz, Summer Time and so forth. It goes back even farther. And more importantly, it goes both ways as many popular songs today such as Mustang Sally I Can't Get No Satisfaction were originally hits by black artitst, but white artist redid them and with a larger audience pool as well as making the song where they could dance to it, the songs have been historically been thought of as their original work until it is investigated. Several of Al Green's biggest hits were originals by The Bee Gees, and Kris Kristoferson. Again on the other side, all Linda Ronstandt ever did was cover songs by black artitst to get her hit songs, Rolling Stones etc. It goes on and on and both ways. Isley didn't start this.
Thank you Charles for the correction. Likewise did Luther Vandross biggest hits done by other artist. The Isley Brothers Title Album was called “Given it back” that spoke to the plundering of Black music by white artist. Including themselves. This was an album dedicated to this. Yes I am sure they liked the music yet I as they evolved I am sure they saw a pattern and wanted to let the world know that we can do it to.
Thanks!
This was an excellent documentary-. The Isleys
They are great. Got Me through my military service in the ,70' s.
What a career. Nice video
My father grew up with them in Lincoln Heights
Good video
Greatest band ever!
Great video The Isleys are 🐐
Contagious and Busted are definitely my favorite 😂. Especially Busted 💀. I watch that video and it turns me the hells out 😭
Isley Brothers the greatest group of all time
Agreed.
👏👏👏👏
Great content. This group is my favorite male group. I've been listening to them since the late 60s. Ernie is the best guitarist ever.
I love the Isley Brothers
