The Isley Brothers - Say You Will (Live at Bearsville Sound Studio 1980) (Audio)

[@milton.bhibbler5099]

This is why The Isleys are the absolute best ever Soul Funk fusion rock and roll

[@EggkFarm]

Ernie Isley...without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I love how he always changed it up live to match the energy of the performance, rather than sticking to what he did on the record. Everytime he plays you feel the emotion, the ending solo of this song is one of his greatest and he sounds fantastic here, adding in tons of flair. I love the studio version but this up-tempo version is irresistible. One of Marvin Isley's best basslines, it fits the song perfectly. This song has all the hallmarks of Chris Jasper's writing, beautiful melody and keyboard tones to set the atmosphere. What a magic line-up!

[@shawnshorter3065]

I agree

[@kennyblackbird5674]

It's criminal how the Isleys fell out with Jasper. Maybe when Kelly divorced his sister it pushed left.

ISLEY BROTHERS FAN 4 LIFE. MY NIGGAS 4 EVER PLAY ON PLAYAS 4 REAL. These players are the AMBASSADORS OF LOVE MUSIC AND FUNK. This song reminds me of a particular Day in 1980 when this joint came out. I’ll never forget this moment I was having. Picture this Mother’s Day May 11th, 1980. The NBA FINALS were on. THE PHILADELPHIA 76ers VS. THE LA LAKERS. MY Main Man 👨 Julius “DR. J” ERVING From the right wing, cuffed the basketball, went baseline in midair to the left flipped the ball into the rim on a reverse layup. Doc took the whole Damn team to the hole. Man 👨 that Move was EPIC. That SONG And THAT MOVIE sends me reeling❤️❤️❤️❤️👀🙏. You had to be there DAMN such Memories 💰💰💰 in the bag

[@TonyWud]

Ernest absolutely burning it down. Incredible. What a band!

[@rj7237]

This is the best. I saw them live at the Dallas County Convention Center with SOS and the Gap Band. One of the best shows ever the Go All The Way Tour. Loved all the beautiful ladies that danced to Belly Dancer. YEEEEAAAAH!!!

[@lannettepaynes9806]

No one can sleep on Ernie! The best!

[@mimitwo9930]

[@MrTodd-uq1dk]

They're insane!!!. And very rare does a band play live MORE UPTEMPO🕺🏿💃🏿🧞‍♂️🧞‍♀️

[@remedya.paulin2327]

My Personal FAVORITE

[@andremooreland5945]

The live version makes a soul funky ballroom slow jam olde but goodie come completely to life. The lead electric guitar by Ernest Isley; the background vocals given by O'Kelly, Rudolph, and Vernon Isley giving the lead singer the support of linebackers on the football field to their quarterback [Midnight Sky]; the bomb dropping subwoofing bass drilled by Marvin Isley; the keys aligned in perfect harmony by Chris topher Jasper; George Moreland and Everett Collins knocking the rhythm of the notes to the drumline together; Carl Porter on the congas calling for the rains to pour out of heaven; Truman Thomas telling the truth on the organ... Ronnie Isley giving sweet enchanted soul saving lines with the lyrics setting the mood of the romance and rekindling the fire of the song with his energy making the experience of the brautiful ballad last forever. Blessed assurance knowing that these seven soulful song singers will "Always... come back to you." This love... that love, is ETERNAL!

[@andremooreland5945]

Beautiful.

[@farrahc7055]

I think their younger brother Vernon died young.

[@sandakhan7able]

tureal jones yes I was just about to say that, but nevertheless, great analogy!

[@JLJ504HD]

Vernon died at age 11

Slapping that ass live with no autotune🎤

[@farrahc7055]

I loved this live version even when I heard it for the first time today (19.12.17) even if it's a bit faster than the studio version. Ernie and Marvin are brilliant.

[@chetmoore9479]

With the type R & B sound the Isleys had Ernie is the baddest guitarist in The World only because he learned From the very Best JIMI HENDRIX. This track is the ultimate and Im glad to have seen it live. All Praises Be to Allah..

[@rhard007]

Nope, I asked Ernie personally and he said Hendrix never taught him anything on guitar. When Hendrix was in the band, he was playing baseball as a kid, not the guitar.

[@travislumpkin9857]

NOT TRUE HE WAS PAIDING,ATTENTION !, !IST TO HIM !,..

[@Norton57]

Jimi lived with the Isleys for a couple years when Ernie was a kid - he was definitely soaking in that magic. Praise be indeed!!!

[@sandakhan7able]

WOW!!!!!! Straight ⛽️ 🔥🔥🔥🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@jenniferingram884]

a very under-rated isley bro. song!

[@lovethestage]

Agree, for years I thought I imagined this damn song before KZbin was invented. It was not for sale anywhere I could not get the tune out of my head. Then when KZbin was invented some very kind soul put it on and save my life hahaha

[@melindamcgregor2084]

my old school love the ISLEY BROTHERS..AND SO DO I!!

[@jenniferingram884]

[@eugenestephens3282]

this live version is the sish lol bassline funky, tempo is slightly faster but on point

[@ernestbutler4141]

On the record version the percussionist get to show off his skills while Ernie play it straight.Very Funky percussions.However Live in Concert Ernie just go straight ERNIE ISLELY on him leaving him believing he forgot how to play.Its like two versions of the same song.Ernie have Fans who pay to see and hear him do just that.😎

[@MAHONEYDRO]

the engineer faded the percussions down on this version

[@rochellemalone2530]

The live version of Say You Will by The Isley's is better than the original version

[@remedya.paulin2327]

[@wendellthomas7739]

Vernon Isley is not on this live version. He was hit by a car and died at 11 years old. Do your Isley Brothers homework

[@davidheredia4008]

Watch it now!!!

[@jamesgraham3116]

Warm ups

[@saj8]

When I got the boxset, my uncle (RIP) was very pissed off about it. He wanted to be the first one to get it.

[@mori311]

Why isn't he chosen as the best guitarist?

[@gregorytodd4649]

Yuppers sho enuf ya'll can the Hendrix influence in Ernies playing....

[@196620410]

j'm ce titre .

[@davidlynn3631]

People keep saying ernie learned for Hendrix fact is he said Carlos Santana is the one he copy his style after.

[@oleskool248]

[@WinstonTexas829]

Wow. So Bearsville could sound this good? I've loved Todd Rundgren's music my whole life but boy his engineering & mixing really sucked. Great job whoever got this sound out of the place.

[@tompipps3383]

TOM PIPPS . FOAM - BR LA USA . HI HELLO &

[@jamesgraham3116]

The original version is better in my opinion.

[@darrylpowell8247]

This is a rehearsal track. At the Bearsville N.J. studio. There are others. Check it out on KZbin.

[@sandakhan7able]

It’s not being better bro it’s about the diversity of how they can sing and play one song! Damn you people are so weird on the internet with your opinions damn!
