Biography

The six sons of Sally and O'Kelly Isley became one of the greatest soul and funk bands of the 60s and 70s, with many classic tracks to their name including "Shout!", "Twist and Shout!", "It's Your Thing", "That Lady" and "Summer Breeze".

Originally a foursome performing gospel, tragedy struck when young Vernon Isley was hit by a car and killed at the age of 13. The remaining trio resumed singing… Read more in Amazon's The Isley Brothers Store

5.0 out of 5 stars these tribute songs are awesome!, April 8, 2005
This review is from: Isleys Live (Audio CD)
I can't agree with any rating less than a 5 star!

The Isley Bros took 5 awesome tunes from other bands and made them all so much better! "Too Late" from Carly Simon is dreamily long, and you'll even want it to keep going (over 12 minutes long). Their rendition of "Love The One You're With" by CSN&Y is less country than the original. This one is lively and energetic. "Lay Lady Lay" from Bob Dylan is a beautiful improvement, better voice, better delivered, alive (and over 7 minutes long). "Ohio" by Neil Young is blended with the jagged "Machine Gun" by Jimi Hendrix, and is 12.5 minutes long! I listen to this blazing and passionate one over and over! They even decided to change the direct references to "Nixon" who was "running" for President again at about that time. (hmmm, surely not the first black Republicans???)

Hey, if you don't like longer-live rock, don't buy a live album. If you like live albums because the songs get extended and livened up, this one is awesome!

I'd have given it a 6 star if it had their Seals & Crofts blastin' remake of "Summer Breeze" and their own "That Lady" live and even longer than their long studio version!

5.0 out of 5 stars Isley Brothers are timeless!!!!!, August 9, 2009
This review is from: Isleys Live (Audio CD)
My father and I are huge Isley Brothers fans, and we have recordings from them going back to the days of wax and needle. However, the live compilations always eluded us; until now. Thanks for providng such a wonderful live album, and may The Isleys rock on for yet another decade!

Super cd of the Isley's in their "rock" era. Ernie Isley's guitar playing is super.
