The closer I get to the grave, the more I fear losing all this great music.

That's the music to dance to

This was a staple with the local groups in the Harrisburg PA area in the early/mid-60's....Thundering Sentries, El Dantes, Lightning Decades, Invictas, all of them...great, great song. Too bad the group has not (and never will) gotten credit for their immense influence. All that and they had Jimi Hendrix as a guitarist.

The funny thing about the Isley Brothers is that they acted as platforms for 100 white rock and roll groups and singers, not one of whom performed any of their cover versions as well as the originals. But they did prove one thing about '60s pop music - there was one important prerequisite for big time fame in the AM era: be white. Hey, it worked! Look at all the "fans" that think "Twist and Shout" was a "Beatles" song....

The Outsiders did a nice version of this song.

[@Pedroleum100]

Is it just me or does this song sound similar to the Isley Brother's song _Shout?_

[@caribman10]

It's just you.

[@Pedroleum100]

@@caribman10 - Sure, it's not like the rhythm and the singing melody are similar ...

[@pelofiromain3128]

You're right ! Same recording session, same band, same rhythm and mainly based on the same chord progression (I iV). This is what gospel musicians often call...a shout.

Finally a song for me, a virgin (who wants to stop be it lol)

[@bigsmoke7291]

Then come on over to me xD
