The Isley Brothers - Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2 (Official Audio)

[@JollyJunkie]

The holy grail of hiphop sampling

[@ampnicole]

Rightt , so many rap songs have sampled the Isley Brothers . .

[@ampnicole]

haden esmond Absolutely , with "Today Was a Good Day" being my favorite . Biggie's "Big Poppa" was pretty popular as well.

[@ari-jv]

Jamik Wapala Haha , I thought of that too . The remix right ? But that was "Between the Sheets" by The Isley Brothers that they sampled.

I know exactly how you feel, man! Growing up as a ‘90s hip-hip kid, I absolutely loved Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day.” I actually just saw him live in concert a few weeks ago. This song was suggested in my feed, I checked it out, and now I can’t stop listening to it.

[@erniemckracken1593]

Vanilla Ice got persecuted for a tiny slice. 🤣

[@Yourbankaccount]

check out stuff like P-Funk, Stevie Wonder, Kool & the gang, Earth, Wind & Fire, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Isaac Hayes, etc. ... . It's a shame some younger people probably never will bother to discover the real artists behind hip hop hits.

It's beautiful to see the hip-hop's artists taking these samples to make their beats and music, but there's nothing like the original recordings wit'a lotta of feeling and originality. We need to respect the forefathers and legends of music, and I think it's a shame when somebody make a dumb ass tune sampling a classic. Much props to Ice Cube who made a lotta of youngstas pay attention and recognize the value of artists like The Isley Brothers.

The Isley Brothers… ☮🔥

[@ronalde.mcknightcpc5542]

The lyrics to this, priceless. These were meaningful love songs. You felt it!

[@shan5445]

Not really a love song if you are hearing footsteps in the dark and asking if our love can still endure. Footsteps a constant reminder in the corridors of your mind that she has had another man creeping in and out her room

[@taralynne8602]

This song touches my heart and soul. Year 2020 and still listening

[@elleo1864]

I'm 52 and this, right here right now, is my first time listening to this original version. And I happen to be a huge fan of R&B and hip hop. How this escaped me is beyond me lol. I was in my early 20's listening of course to Ice Cube's rendition back in the day, and more recently the cover by Cannons. All three versions are amazing imo, but much appreciation for the Isley Brothers for creating this incredible song! That bass, percussion, lyrics and vocals, need I say more.

I look up what it meant when he was sayin “I keep hearing footsteps in the dark” It said cuz Ronald Isley mourns for his broken relationship and he also mourning for his life feeling both loneliness and fear..i felt bad bc hes my favorite Isley:’)..

Ice Cube knew not to mess with the backing track of this song as it's pure perfection. This was the Isleys at the top of their game. Ronnie at his imperious best and those harmonies on the chorus are just heaven sent!

This is the realest this groove ever gotten and it put love back into the homes! No other rendition nor sample has validity! Because the Isley brothers are 100% real! No acting required! No gimmics

[@dawnpaige3648]

Who remember this song Footsteps in the dark? Part 1 & 2? This my jam back in the day. I loved this song I had the CD and my older sister Beverlee before she passed away she had the album as well. WBLS use to play this song on the slow jams especially during the night fall.

The Isley Brothers at the absolute height of their powers is on this song.! Everything comes together all at once. What an incredible production!

[@christianlandaetatorres15560]

R.I.P. Rudolph Isley. The Isley Brothers will keep spinning on my turntable same as when I first discovered the band while I was a teenager in the mid 70's.

[@nicolebozeman9257]

Oh the memories of cruising along Lake Shore Drive late nights and early mornings. Just me, him, and the Isleys

[@deshundontae23]

im 18 and its still a wonderful tging to do especially when the sears tower lit up real pretty and the moon hits the lake

[@IGentry]

Footsteps in the Dark: This legendary cut is the "Heart Pulling" song of the album as Ronald Isley blend his smooth lead lyrics the heartbeat bass line...while telling his story...makes you cry like the heartbreak experienced years ago just happened again. The Legendary Isley Brothers in their prime...need I dare say more? I absolutely love this entire album. It's truly one of their many long string of masterpieces produced between 1975 thru 1980. Everything Ronald Isley sings is gold. It brings back great memories for me of the summer of 1977. This "Go For Your Guns" album was #1 on the R&B charts that whole summer...for several weeks. Thanks so much for sharing!
