The Isley Brothers - Shout 

I saw the Isley Bros perform this in 1962 when I was a Junior in high school in NJ - they headlined a big Rock&Roll show at THE Brooklyn Fox. It was fantastic! They must have been on stage doing this for 20 minutes. The audience was almost as exhausted at the end as the 3 performers who were even more energetic than seen here. They jumped off a chair repeatedly & led the audience in the "a little bit softer now" & into the "a little bit louder now" w/ great enthusiasm. Now 58yrs later I can still "see" them doing that show. BTW a still relative newbie Dione Warwick was also in that show. But it was the Isley Bros who made the show! (I don't even remember who the other performers were..... :)

Hard to believe that this song did not even make Billboard's Top 40. It is one of the most remade songs of all time.

RIP the two members of The Isley Brothers Rudolph Isley (April 1, 1939 - October 11, 2023), aged 84 O'Kelly Isley Jr. (December 25, 1937 - March 31, 1986), aged 48 You both will be remembered as legends.

RIP Rudolph Isley! One of the most epic songs ever!

The Isleys pushed the envelope with this 45 Shout part 1 and 2. A very good group, and they deserve where they are. In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dude...this was 1959. I was born in 96. It's mind blowing for me to watch and listen to music from this far back

Kind of unbelievable that these are the same men that made my all time favorite oldies especially voyage to Atlantis. Seems worlds apart. The longevity of the Isley’s is something truly amazing. Legends for sure.

This could be released in 3032 and still be a #1 on the billboards. What a banger.

It's impossible to listen to this song and stay in a bad mood

Oh Man! I love that song, such energy those brothers had! I'm now an old lady but I got up and danced to this gem. Loved the brothers, they brought such great music and fun to a bygone era. May Rudolf rest in peace, but not too much... I hope he's still dancing and SHOUTING! Thank you Isley Brothers, for your tremendous contribution to our happiness with your great talent!

This is serotonin in musical form

RIP Rudolph Isley

It's nice to see Verzuz expanding people's knowledge of the Isley Brothers. I'm pretty sure most people my age and younger thought the Isley's only dated back to the 70's lol.

They're raising the roof in Heaven tonight. RIP Rudolph Isley

they were taking folks STRAIGHT to church with this one

Wow, I had no idea the Isley Brothers originally made this song. Talk about old school.

OMG they looked like they had so much fun singing this song, they just did as pleased.

This song played at my grandma’s funeral. It was sad to see her go, as I loved her dearly, but this song was uplifting and really encapsulated her personality as a person. I hope you’re doing well Granny.

The history of "Rock" came straight from the gospel sounds of the deep south. Christians did exactly this music in their pentecostal churches. They wailed and shouted, moaned and groaned, jumped up and down in the Lords spiritual presence of their churches. The music helped sooth their difficult circumstances. This sound of praise and worship was picked up by talented afro musicians and brought to the so called secular music world. It was well embraced by many whites led by a one Elvis Presley. Many Americans who also wanted their spirits to be uplifted in their own privileged circumstances enjoyed the music... Isley brothers played their part...we thank them.

in my humble opinion the Isley brothers mixed doo wop with gospel to create this incredible sound....

i broke my knee dancing to this song

Thank you, Mr. Isley, for the gifts you left behind.

The way the singer goes from "A little bit louder now" to "AHHLITTLE bit louder now!" is so powerful, its almost as if life throws him this exciting moment and he can barely handle it. I cannot stop listening

When coronavirus over, we gonna shout! DAMN 487 SHOUTS THANK YALL

This sog is 60 years old and still jamming at weddings, proms and Bad Music Night!!

There just isn't talent like this anymore. If anyone is in a rotten mood, play this song, it'll lift you up.

Rest in peace Rudolph Isley. Thank you for all the great songs

wow the isleys career longtivity is amazing....They went from the rock n roll era to smooth soul and even being sampled in hip hop songs....Amazing

To think Ronald Isley (lead singer) was only 18 at the time.

RIP to Rudolph Isley! Great song and group!!!!

RIP Rudolph 😢

Thankyou for an amazing song that brings many happy memories. RIP Rudolph Isley!

The Isley Brothers performed at our senior boys dance in 1962. Never forgot!

I'm convinced this song initiated the Big Bang. It's pure explosive energy.

This is the greatest party song ever made.

You know it's a great song when you've heard several different versions of it, and all of them are great.

One thing about the Isley Brothers, no matter how much you hate to dance or don't even know how, everyone gets up and jumps around, because there is no way you can just sit still. At my wedding when the band sang this song, even the seniors at my wedding and some were in their 70's and 80's were bouncing around. The Isley Brothers - one of the greatest performers of all time!

One of the miracles of modern science is how Ron did not blow a vocal cord on this song and is still singing almost 65 years later. 😮

Who else is out there listening to this banger during quarantine??

From Shout to Contagious Ron been dropping hits for 50+ years. You can't name another artist with his kind of longevity. Ron's voice is similar to fine wine. It's sad because he won't be truly recognized as one of the GOATs until he's gone. Easily one of the most recognizable voices in music outside of James Brown, Barry White and MJ.

Back when music was made from the soul :)

I'm 75 and still got some groovy moves ! In my mind this takes me to high school dances in the gym .

RIP Mr.Isley

the Isley Brothers been the s#&t forever. They can't be touched Plus, they are really Brothers ....PEACE

We say goodbye for now to Rudy ...thanks for the music

Legends. Such longevity in their career!!

incredible! turning a church song into a pop R&B hit. People didn't know what they were grooving to. Great song, great singers.

I know the song but I came from verzuz cause I didn’t know this was the Isley brothers song🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

I've lost count of how many artists tried doing this song, and some of them were fun. However, the Isley Brothers own this song forever. No matter where you heard it, you and everyone in the room got up and danced. Over 55 years old and it's still a great song to hear. Not many stand that test of time.

🗣️”I remember dancing 🕺 to this song when I was 25yrs at a Dance Club & Nowadays I’m 69 going to be 70 years old and just listening!!” 🩷❣️💕💞💜💟

One of the songs at my funeral...SHOUT!!!

That's a mixe of Gospel Jazz and Blues it's really an unique piece of Soul Music than will remain immortal forever, i love it !!

Love this song! This should've been way high on the charts! They did it first, and the best!

This has been played at both of my son’s weddings! What a classic, made the year I was born 1959❤

This is why black lives matter 🔌🙌🏾

This is SOUL at it's best. Makes the hairs on my arm rise. SHOUT..

Life is tough, but I feel lucky not to be among the 500+ who gave this a thumb's down. Life must really suck for them.

I didn't even know they sang this! 💋

Memories of the Lakers of the 80s They were awesome.

A lot of groups have covered this song. Nobody can beat the Isley Brothers.

RIP Rudolph Isley 🖤

Ronald and Ernie still kicking!

RIP Mr. Rudolph Isley. He co-wrote these bangers with his brothers.

Absolutely insane. Saw them perform Shout at the Brooklyn Paramount during the 1950s. Fabulous and crazy......!!!!

me: i’m gonna sleep early tonight me at 3am: 1:37

Here’s a Birthday SHOUT out to Ronald! Thank you for keeping America hopping for over 60 years!

I am 80 now. Living in Querétaro. But as a teen and young lady. I loved the Isleys

I love the part where the Main singer just like falls on the ground and his other two brothers just look like little kids playing airplanes with there arms to the side flying around everywhere

I was born in 1988 and I LOVE the 50's , 60's and 70's ♥️

i’ve never heard ron isley’s voice this powerful. never heard music this far back. im amazed.

Pure traditional black gospel shout music with secular lyrics. It's fantastic.

I think churches adopted this in the praise breaks back in the day.

A really upbeat song that makes me want to shout,especially after the Bills win!

I was 19 then and when they played this song I went wild....now waiiit..a minute..

❤ SENSATIONAL AWESOME BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AMAZING WONDERFUL PHENOMENAL EXTRAORDINARY 😊❤THE VERY BEST IN THE WORLD 🌎 SIMPLY!!!!!!!!

The Isley brothers are one of the bests ever!! This still sounds so fresh!! And what an energy, WOW!!! ❤️💥

This song was HUGH! I have danced to this all my life and I was born in 1953! Still dancing to it! Love it!

Truly a classic ......one of the best ever!

THE REAL DEAL!!! SHOUT!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Their dancing is hypnotic!

The Isley Brothers ability to withstand time is truly unmatched. Still incredible to me this is the same group that made Contagious, a song released when I was growing up.

Why does it take death to remind us of greatness..........RIP Rudolph Isley.

These boys had no problem doing their own thing baby!!!

Rest in power, Rudolph Isley

I love the fire in his voice compared to the other versions

Rudolph please REST IN PEACE. This was my favorite song at parties as a kid back in the 50's and 60's :)

I saw the Isley Brothers in concert in 1977....they were headlining with Heatwave and A Taste of Honey as opening acts. What a great show that was!

You can clearly see the influence the Beatles drew from these guys everything down to the dance moves.

I remember the Isley Brothers watching them on American bandstanding on TV and those days back in the late fifties we just had black and white TV it was a 21 inch Dumont these guys were just fantastic just amazing how slim they were jumping and singing all over the stage I get this video five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯👍🇺🇸

FIRE! Jackie Wilson Sang The Song but Isley Brother s" Great!! Much ❤️

Lets go Wild! 🟢🟡

These guys is pioneers, and true legends

Around 1998 in México I worked as a waiter in a Rock Bar. Every saturday in the middle of the midnight Dj turned off the music and suddenly started to play Shout. Wherever we were we must started to dance and it was crazy and funny.

YAAAAAAAASSSSS BABYYYY‼️🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💃😁😎 2:10 🎤NOW WAAAAAAIT A MINUTE 🤣🥰 #SOOOOOO THANKFUL 🙌🏾😁🥰

Amazing song. Epic.

It's wedding season!

This song will never be old!

Rock and Roll at it's finest.

Man. The world and music were built different back then.

I’m 20 and I enjoy this so much 😂❤️
