No beats. Actual musicians in the group.

Real musicians writing., singing, and playing their own originals.

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.

Isley Brothers made no bad music. All there music was gold and still is

No group will ever beat them

This group in its different iterations, have spanned 8 decades and are unmatched! Simply a great collection of singers and musicians!!!

They are the longest performing r&b group in the world. Thats a fact.

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.

Musicians. Ernie Isley on guitar is iconic. Their whole sound -🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Baby makin R&B 101 // wins everytime !!!

The WHISPERS SAY. YES PLAY THIS

😂when he hit that giving, giving, and she said excuse me ?... She seems to have a great ear, and genuine appreciation for good music

Your face with this one is priceless. The love songs from back in the day will do that to you.

What a summer when this first came out, it was played every second, and love was definitely in the air!!!❤

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.

Puerto rican here born and raised in Chicago . This is stepping music❤.

A lot of babies conceived while listening to one my very songs ever. The Isley Bros are so smooth.

The appreciation that you show for good music of my life. It something else to see younger people react to what was.

these boys got down hard, and their catalog starts 60's deep.

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

My FAVORITE Isley Bros song

The Isley brothers deserve their own playlist.

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

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!!!!!!

You are not lying. Yesssssss brag. The best music in that era.

My favorite group in all genres! And it’s not even close!!!

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!

Yup they did the song "Shout" back either late 50s or early 60s

@GoldenLady1007

The "brother-in-law" wrote the bulk of their hits, including this one. 💛

No beats, they played instruments to get those sounds

This girl love her some soul

I love this song... brought back memories of my high school years in the mid 70s.

The music did all the work

THE STYLISTICS - STOP - LOOK - Listen

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....

That was the sound trackS of our lives.Grand DAD

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 .

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.

Pure gold (baby making music)

Isley's Lit! 🔥

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.

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

This song played a great part in my life when I was dating my boyfriend who later became my husband in the late 70s.

The Isley's are five Brothers and one Brother in Law Chris Jasper.

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.

See that smile!!!!!! Slow dancing and romance 😉

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🥰

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

Im an old head..lol..I randomly sing this song all of the time...walking in the store, at home, whatever...lol...

Steppers paradise, period

Pure soul! -period

Ronny's voice is so soulful, smooth & sexy.

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

Luv your natural look 😊

really like their song Footsteps in the Dark

Ya sho right !!!! Our music, a good joint , your baby by yous side, cruising down the hyway and its heaven baby !!!!!! ❤❤😊

The late, great Whitney Houston does a cover of this song that is absolutely spellbinding. That's the one to react to.

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 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!

Harvest for the world is one of their best try it!❤

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"?

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

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.

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!!!

you got that right young lady nothing downturn in the lights in the living room glass of wine and slow dancing with your woman

It is funny you say Beats who played their own instruments and created their music

The song titled "What's Come Over Me" by the group called "Blue Magic" is a good one too

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.

No dear. Not beats. This is what REAL bands did. Real musicianship and vibing

Oh, and the 2nd song on that B-side, Sensuality? Beware! Um, late night vibes only....

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 !!!

They have so many songs I love. I'll introduce you to " Groove with you "

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!

This is sitting on the balcony of your three story beach house on a Friday or Saturday night with the one you love song.

Oh yessssssss. Glad you keep riding this train. Now jump into their funk with Fight The Power.

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.

Not The Isley Brothers too! lol....Yeah, you're on a mission today! (somebody bring her a fan...)

Isley brothers choosey love please

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.

I love your reaction ❤

You really need to check out Sparkle from Cameo.

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

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

This same "album" had a song called "Make me say it again girl". It's epic 😊!!! I swear I love your reviews. Very entertaining!!! I'm gonna be "cash apping". Yeah, I know that isn't a word. Check out the song I mentioned earlier!

Write that down!

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.

Here's a fast one to add to Groove with you. " The Pride " You should easily be delighted by both.

And oh yeah The Isley Brothers don't have a horn section no horns in their music

In between the sheets will have you up out of that chair😂😂

Tha jam! More heat!

As good as it gets.

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.

Hi mis Ashley love All your music reactions videos. Keep it going.

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

This groups' another..Beast!!

women were walking around like zombies during our music era. and yes yo mamas aunties and grandmas had no chance.. they were hypnotized lol

" Click Click", enough said.

there was a time Jimi Hendrix played back up guitar for the Isley Brothers...just sayin':)

Have you heard between the sheets by the Isley Brothers

On some 90s r&b shit please react to “For you” or “never too busy” by Kenny lattimore please!!

So I'm new to the channel....Your reactions show you in a chokehold. I was born in 75. Ron may have birthed me. My point is do you see how they let r&b die .

It seems like big money record label control black culture...."the people" with the money get to dictate what music lives & dies (unfortunately).

If it sounds good listen

2pac sampled this for "Burry Me A G" and did a fantastic job. If you are into hiphop, you should check out the "Burry Me A G" solo version.
