First listen to the Isley Brothers - Who's that Lady (REACTION)

[@masudashizue777]

Nobody does funky like the Isley Brothers. They don't get talked about enough.

[@garymcghee2249]

Ernie Isley's guitar playing is one of the great wonders of the world. x

[@veteranscanineintelligence3761]

L.A. native here. Grew up with Groovy music like this. So slide me some skin my brother...

[@KathySandru]

Ernie Isley is sorely underrated as a guitarist. You should react to their version of “Summer Breeze” or “Voyage to Atlantis”. Sublime

[@ronhunt9396]

One of the all time greatest. I'm 74 and remember it well. Puts rap to shame

[@dagmar.6954]

The Isley Brothers have one of the longest running careers spanning over eight decades starting in the 50's. They covered many genres of music soul, R&B, funk & rock. They had a lot of great songs such as "Shout", "It's Your Thing", "Twist & Shout", "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak For You)", "Love The One You're With", "Pop That Thang", "That Lady", "Summer Breeze", "Fight The Power", "For The Love Of You" etc.

[@maryannschumacher1370]

Still love this song! I graduated high school the year before this song came out, and I recall cranking the volume on my way to work! 😂

[@Hippychic723]

GET DOWN!!! I knew you would love it 🤩🎸🤩🎸🤩🎸🤩🎸

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

A very groovy song with a super guitar throughout. Who’s that lady? The world may never know. Great reaction

[@Madminute1968]

The lead guitarist is the outstanding Ernie Isley.

[@gabrieleflannery6504]

Wow! A trip in the wayback machine 🎶 Love to see these songs appreciated years later and we get to hear them again. Great rythem and guitar, somehow it sounds fresh all over again. Thank you !

[@Yosef1952]

Haven't heard this in a while. (Usually the radio version is what I heard.) Still fun to listen to. And yes, it tends to cause chair dancing.

[@catman2629]

Jimi Hendrix played with the group for a while , hence his wonderful influence on guitar

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Psychedelic Soul.

[@jodan4]

I like their Footsteps in the Dark

[@cherylreichardt]

I definitely miss this kind of groovy music! Good times!

[@murrayspiffy2815]

Imagine it's 1:15 AM - and you're in a crowded disco with lights in the floor - everyone is basically wasted at this hour - and this song comes on. Everyone grabs a partner - and heads to the dance floor and everybody lets loose to the Isley Brothers laying it down. It's a memory for a lifetime.

[@rk41gator]

Classic. Truly timeless.

[@cindycloy507]

Great bass

[@jacksaintjack2844]

There was a local disco club....The Lighthouse. Transparent lit up dance floor, large mirrored spinning ball, strobe lights, black lights, etc. It was the bomb. They always kicked the night off with this song. It got everyone all wet and worked up from the get go. It was virtually impossible to go home alone, even if you wanted to.

[@musestudio7075]

Loved your reaction 👌🔥

[@3589546]

love this

[@darcysalas3042]

I Love that song. Thank you for putting a song on. Say Happy Mother Day to your mother from me. I lost my mother from a stroke. Yes he did Daniel.

[@go234ko96ts5]

Aways enjoyed this upbeat song with the extended version. Feel good classic music.

[@trespatines8698]

Earnie Isley on guitar!

[@flubblert]

Some lyrics aren't really meant to be broken down and analyzed. This is all about the rhythm that soul and that amazing guitar.

[@MissAstorDancer]

Great, groovy tune! Brings back super good memories! How about that bass?

[@ddgardner5671]

Part 1 was the A side of the single and part 2 was the B side. on the albums, they were continuous, but they were still listed as "Parts 1& 2".

[@hpb5495]

The live Soul Traaaaaain version rocks! Ernie tears it up! Watched it live all those years ago..

[@georgewodicka4839]

When you're so young, and these classics are only heard on AM radio in your house and car, the instrumental chops on songs like these are not appreciated. They are now.

[@foxandscout]

Isley Brothers-what a long storied career. I love this song. It was a big hit, as was many of their songs. Every time one of them came on the radio, you couldn’t help but move to the groove, maybe even get up and dance. Yes Daniel react to or at least listen to Kendrick Lamar. He’s only in his mid-thirties. “American rapper Kendrick Lamar has won 161 awards from 399 nominations, including 14 Grammy Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, and the ASCAP Vanguard Award for his work as a composer.” Oh yeah, and a Pulitzer Prize in music. I love his first album. I know his later works less, but I truly enjoy him and understand why he has gotten so many accolades.

[@christianman73]

if you haven't heard Kendrick's second major album (not counting the early indie releases, that is), "To Pimp A Butterfly," definitely check it out: The first album, "Good KId, M.A.A.D City," is widely considered to be a hip-hop classic, and for good reason, but to me, TPAB is his masterpiece, with a wider musical palette, more live instrumentation, and a deep lyrical concept and story told throughout the album.

[@paul8926]

I forgot that the long version has an abrupt ending…wow ! 😯

[@parisbrat]

Not on my copy!

[@johncollier9280]

Gotta check out the Isley's song Climbin' Up The Ladder...insanely excellente!

[@Gregory......]

This sounds right out of the 70's, it reminds me of the group ( Staple ) Except Staple has a Woman singing. But very similar.

[@johnandrews3151]

I've never heard this with such an abrupt ending. Every version I've heard before fades out at the end.

[@reggiebryant253]

Watching a Gen Z grooving to the Isley Brothers, now that's what we like about you Daniel! Stay open, stay curious!!

[@g.e.5723]

"Hear me callin' out to you, cause it's all that I can do, your eyes tell me to pursue, but you say look yea, but don't touch"!

[@ChristopherMmmm]

Funky af

[@winchesterbear]

I remember requesting this a year ago.

[@debrabrabenec3731]

Great song! It got lots of airplay and it reminds me of my 1st job. One of my favorite Isley Brothers songs is "Harvest For The World."

[@Lightmane]

Haven't heard this in like forever.

[@karensheline5183]

Good choice, Daniel. The 70’s were FAB.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Dopamine memory buzz/rush. AWESOME band. Perfection. Jimi Hendrix played with them in 60s. IKR? Great times with this band, 100% of the time.

[@beasam75]

High school memories! Love it

[@geneharvey7]

BTW, the new camera has better color. I approve. And re: the track, when this song came out it pushed the boundaries of R&B. It wasn't your father's Oldsmobile (sorry, that's a reference to a TV ad before your time).

[@dizastro5437]

My first exposure to Isley Brothers was from the Beastie Boys, who were known to sample them. This tune in particular made wanna know more. Never went far down that rabbit hole, but I did stick an ear in.

[@csn10]

Isley Brothers "Shout- live" might be the most fun video on YT! Worth a look.

[@e.nowbodhi144]

your funk face at 2:37 says it all :D

[@flubblert]

It has an abrupt ending, but not quite that abrupt. Missing the final note! Ahhh!! 😦

[@er5406]

At one point in the 60s, Jimi Hendrix was their guitarist. Not for this song I don’t believe.

[@christianman73]

Jimi was their guitarist for a short time in the early to mid-60s, before he left to begin his own career. He did record some songs with the Isleys, while he was in the band, but they weren't widely released until after his death in '70. This song, from '73, features Ernie Isley on guitar. Ernie was influenced by Jimi, and Ernie's great guitar work played a huge role in the band throughout the '70s.

[@fenderchamp8241]

Fine start. Next, Live it Up P1&2. And a fine cover of Summer Breeze.

[@MisterWondrous]

Never heard this extended version before. It's longer! What is that instrument making the prominent sound though? Guitar? Synth? Was that a fuzzbox? Never able to achieve that sound.

[@-davidolivares]

That my friend is the quest of several guitarists out there. Ernie Isley found a unique twist on Hendrix’s tone. Anybody knows exactly what he used, tell it!

[@MisterWondrous]

@@-davidolivares It is still going though my head like a bee.

[@taylortyler1867]

The first lyrics you read were not part of the song. That must've been lyrics to another song. This has been one of my all-time favorite songs _AND_ all-time favorite guitar solos.

[@Richard_Jones]

Yeah, looks like someone got two songs mixed up.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

Jimi Hendrix was in the band backing the Isley Brothers.

[@lesnyk255]

For another trip to the past, I'd be curious to see your reaction to Mahavishnu Orchestra, the LP versions of "Noonward Race" & "Lila's Dance" in particular. Another great band to check out might be the more contemporary Snarky Puppy - there's hundreds of thousands of reactions to their tune "Lingus", but do check out "Quarter Master", "Jambone", & maybe "Grown Folks" as well. Bon chance!

[@christinerobinson9372]

I think it was cut off, it's not supposed to end that way. I glanced down at the replies to see if someone else mentioned it, and I'm not seeing anything, so maybe I'm wrong and it really does end like that but... "I would love to take her home": I don't think he means he wants to walk her home to her home. He wants to take her to his home. And she might go with him, but she will then "do him wrong" by stopping short of his desired goal.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

What happened to the IB????

[@Hogtownboy1]

oh my youth is back. i use lip synch this too my late wife

[@MilesCushion-e5t]

Out on youe own finally

[@parisbrat]

No. It wasn't supposed to end like that.

[@ecce_neru]

Funk-a-liscious!!! Listen to LMLYP by Ween... prolly not "reaction" friendly lyric wise. But funks with the best!!!

[@lowdown1222]

Apparently I didn't hear him correctly. He couldn't have said he grew up in the seventies and he's 62 years old?

[@lynnylanny8906]

I'm 54 and you're so damn cute. In a motherly way I'm saying🤗

[@Devinnnwya]

Can you listen to spend the night by the Isley brothers

[@richiegray6847]

Sad news Nick Cave’s son 30 yrs DEAD 💀, because it’s not released they don’t know why.

[@Kickinthescience]

To the ppl that’s reading this just know Isley Brothers and Funkadelic more talented than most of your favorite bands

[@jameswarner5809]

Another track that has been edited badly, what's going on? Who's putting these things online? On a more positive note, I'd add Harvest For The World to the list below, a beautiful song of hope in dark times.
