YES!!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Isley Brothers - Voyage to Atlantis REACTION

[@mumm-ratheeverliving2288]

Ernie Isley on guitar is very under appreciated guitarist and song writer. Ron Isley is of course a incredible vocalist but I always feel Ernie should get mentioned way more than does.

[@kaylad4486]

Any Black guitarist that isn't Jimi Hendrix is not appreciated like they should be.

[@mumm-ratheeverliving2288]

@@kaylad4486 that is very true!

[@ddgardner5671]

I think Marvin Isley was underrated as a bassist, too.

[@RabbiSteve]

Yeah, and because these guys’ voices and vocal arrangements are so off-the-scale great, it kind of makes people forget how great the arrangements and virtuosity of their playing was. There aren’t a lot of groups comparable to how good the Isleys both played and sang.

[@andymageen5308]

Thanks for pointing that out, I always thought this was a session guy, but much added respect knowing it was one of the brothers, this was a deep groove. ✌️

[@RCHeath]

Ernie Isley is the reason that I have played guitar for that last 46 years

[@keith535]

One of the greatest albums ever made.

[@midnittkr]

don't know about that but you know what they say about opinions

[@philipmccarthy6175]

This album ( Go for your guns) , 3+3 & The heat is on are all phenomenal.

[@dinacole3410]

Their version of Summer breeze is breathtaking

[@rostand5264]

Listen to the original by Seals and Croft (and Hummingbird) and then Isley Brother's version of Summer Breeze. All good!

[@hughfuller8416]

You’re not lying.

[@isaacvanwart-i2v]

1976. College dorm. I’m a freshman. Most days I’m rockin’ out to Clapton, Van Morrison, Traffic, Springsteen, the Floyd, and a hundred other performers. Down the hall one night at about 2:00 a.m., THIS music is emanating from a Senior’s room. I was drawn to it. Strolled down the hall. I stood outside and listened. I’ve never forgotten this song. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard. One of the great sounds of my lifetime.

[@Knick_Fury]

3 quick Isley notes... 1. They didn't just have those sensual ballads you guys love...they also made some of the funkiest jams of their era. (FIGHT THE POWER, IT'S YOUR THING, LIVE IT UP, etc.) 2. They have made some of the greatest cover versions ever. (SUMMER BREEZE, HELLO IT'S ME, FIRE AND RAIN, etc.) 3. They have been making tunes since THE MID 50's!!!!!!!!....their first hit was SHOUT in 1959. The next major hit was TWIST AND SHOUT (another classic cover song) in 1962. They have one of the longest active runs in music. Salute the legends.....🫡

[@MrCtaylor000]

Ernie Isley is one of the all time greatest guitarist.

[@2300MapogoBrothers]

Erin’s Isley is the goat.. Jimi Hendrix taught him a lot when he was a kid and Jimi worked for the Isleys

[@josephdavis3686]

Born in 1961 and grew up listening to the best Black music era during 60 with Motown, the 70's, 80's, 90' and early 2000. But some of the new singers are gradually bring back that great Black music.

[@grendelz]

One of the very best Isleys songs.

[@seanluv1]

Isley Bros- Make me say it again girl. You’ll be on kid number 4 by the end of the song

[@primeminister66]

Indeed

[@Kickinthescience]

Arguably the best American band of all time

[@darhyllacylacy]

Absolutely

[@jamesgreenhow108]

Guitarist and youngest of the brothers, Ernie Isley, is the last living member of the triple threat of best friends and legendary ground breaking music legends and HALL OF FAMERS. "Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Hazel, Ernie Isley." Hendrix started his music career with the Isley Brothers and lived with the family a few years. The 3 learned from each other but had very different styles. Forever Rest in Peace EDDIE and JIMI !!!! FUNK ON BROTHER ERNIE !!!!

[@JohnWick-gl6mw]

Absolutely correct ! They learned and polished their greatness together ...

[@bjware511]

Yes, I agree, Ernie in my eyes is one of the top ten guitarist in history, in the group with Page, May, Paul, Santana, Berry, Clapton, King, Townsend, Richards and Hendrix. He’s never mentioned with those greats, but clearly belongs.

[@trjbrew]

A classic among classics!!! A generation of babies were made to this one Their version of "Summer Breeze" is a flat out rocker!

[@shirleyjones9460]

"Harvest For the World" is a song very relevant and relatable for today. "Work to do" another excellent song. "Who's That Lady", I could go on and on. 😊

[@NeptuneLady1957]

STILL gives me goosebumps! EVERYTHING the Isley Brothers did was 🔥🔥and has been since 1959!!

[@vry2116]

Listen to “Make Me Say It Again Girl” by the Isley Brothers. Ron Isley’s voice is incredibly smooth and sensual. They had another slow cooker called “Sensuality” 🔥

[@calvincameron354]

Absolutely classic I love that song...Bone thugs n harmony sampled it for crossroads.

[@lepoetress]

Make Me Say It Again is me and my husband's song ❤ Beautiful song!!

[@SharonDoucette]

Yes, those are two great suggestions and two of my many faves. ‘Make Me Say It Again Girl’ has the most beautiful lyrics of any song I can think of. Oh, I believe you are a rainbow All the heaven I need to see You’re the promise everlasting Where you are I hope to be… The have the best ballads: Don’t Hold Back Your Love(tied w/Sensuality for my fave) Let’s Fall In Love Hello It’s Me It’s Too Late Here We Go Again

[@jazshas]

Ooooh 😮😊😂

[@mrantdagreat]

Awww yeah! This is just the tip of the iceberg with the Isley Brothers incredible catalog. It just keeps getting better and better the more y’all continue down the rabbit hole.

[@Anarchist_Noir]

Simply a Classic...my father and uncles playing the Isleys and Maze

[@jamesway]

The Beatles covered one of their songs, that's how legendary this group is.

[@vizzini589]

As good as their ballads are, they're also one of the funkiest bands ever. Fight The Power, Livin' in the Life, and The Pride. All great tracks.

[@miked2445]

I cant believe I missed this upload😞 Glad i saw it now. This is my favorite song of theirs!!!

[@mellohope57]

Come on guys The Isley Brothers have been around since the 50s. Long before rap, EWF, Stevie Wonders and others. The Beatle's first hit record was an Isley Brothers song called "Twist and Shout". And that was in 1962. This group's legacy is untouchable.

[@jazshas]

Thanks for the history lesson. People always ascribe all of this greatness to the Beatles, who wrote some great music, but they drew their inspiration from Black artists because people back in those days were still listening to singers like Perry Cuomo.

[@pluckinmageetar]

Get a room, y'all!😅😅😅 Loved it! The Isley's ARE #1 baby makers in my book!

[@trinasp]

I saw them in concert on my 20th birthday. They were amazing. The whole show was amazing. It featured Frankie Beverly and Maze, Zapp with Roger, and a very young New Edition. I want to say it was their Between the Sheets Tour. We were on the 3rd row because the row we were supposed to sit in was taken up by the sound equipment. A very happy birthday for me! Man! that was 40 years ago! I'm old!

[@reddragon2838]

The expressions on their faces while they’re listening says it all. Good music is timeless. I’m fifty eight and this is the music from my youth.

[@doctormusic7244]

Two of my favorite people on KZbin, reacting to the soundtrack of my life. I couldn't ask for more :-).

[@amontaineaurore4700]

Brown Eyed Girl and Hello are two of my favorite Isley Bros jams. Have fun down the rabbit hole!

[@flodee8561]

Oh my!! This is my favorite song by The Isley Brothers. I love all their music, but this is my favorite!

[@hak4890]

This was one of the all-time favorite “slow dance” songs in High School. Beautiful song.❤

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

They are loaded with hits. I like "Here We Go Again", "Groove With You", "Choosey Lover" and "Between the Sheets".

[@mikegrasty5521]

MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!! Regardless of Artist or Group. ❤❤❤

[@robertdixon8906]

The Isley brothers - groove with you . Is a must listen to

[@davidyerkey7425]

Check out "Summer Breeze" ... Ernie Isley kills it on the guitar solo 🎸

[@Phantomflyer56]

Now we are talking absolute sheer class , oh well this will make your heart bleed ,just those lyrics xxx

[@atirro]

I've been waiting for this one!!! I remember hearing it while driving long distance at night. I felt like I had an out-of-body experience. CARAVAN OF LOVE (by Isley Jasper Isley) is one you guys should react to. It is right up your alley. The message is so beautiful! ❤

[@bobblundell2281]

Climbing up the ladder is another great tune from this LP

[@butterflymama0838]

I love Ron Isley's voice ao much. He is just soooo smoooth! Great reaction you guys! Peace & love to the both of you ❣️✌️😁

[@xerxesalmighty9444]

This is literally one of my 5 favorite songs ever. Timeless. Enjoyed watching you both melt. I’m guessing that was your last song reaction of the night! Heh heh.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

A splinter band that came from the Isley brothers was, 'Isley Jasper Isley' started in 1984 by brother-in-law Chris Jasper (keyboards), Ernie Isley (lead guitar), and Marvin Isley (bass). The have a really, really great "baby makin'" song entitled "Insatiable Woman" (1985). They are also the band that made the classic hit, "Caravan of Love" (1985). Link to official video for Insatiable Women: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4W3ipSijqyLrLs

[@carleton4199]

LOVE this song and I've loved since I first heard it when I was kid (my dad is a big Isley Brothers fan and played them all the time). You mentioned the Isley Brothers rabbit hole, it's deep, you've just scratched the surface (you've definitely reacted to some classics so far though), they have a killer catalog of music. Amazing vocals, great lyrics, great musicianship, they just didn't have any weaknesses.

[@DrSlowjam]

I Love you guys. You two are hilarious. Ya'll are be-bop-in to the song the whole time J looking like I am tearing up some cookie after we get off and Ambers looking like you know you are tearing up some cookie after this KZbin Video. Bring the computer and those Isley Brothers tunes with you. Still waiting for you two too step up your game and get some Con Funk Shun, Phyllis Hymen and Angela Bowfill in the rotation. I figure you will have arrived after that. Maybe some Stacy Lattisaw and a little more Peabo Bryson

[@Alex-HHP]

Isley Brothers are 🔥 This song..... I'm sitting here someplace else altogether 😁

[@ISVVVc628]

When this jam was out you heard it all day every day that summer. Memories.❤️❤️❤️

[@aflowe8395]

Have you seen Ernie "play the strings"... WITH HIS TONGUE!!! JEEEEZZZ-UUUUUSSS!!!

[@adublbeatz8656]

Thank you for reacting to this song. Another CLASSIC by The Isley Brothers. You all will get plenty of recommendations for the Isley Brothers, their catalog is EPIC!!

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

2004 is when I first Listened to this Amazing song but the DJ didn't mention the Group but I knew the group from other songs and years later I listened to their greatest hits and there this song was finally known to me.And ever since it's been one of my favorites of all time

[@mizzcarla7191]

How Lucky I Am and Sensuality ..by the Isley brothers are definitely baby making pieces...❤

[@bobblundell2281]

Bought this album when it first came out , great album,

[@sissybushnell7959]

Isley Brothers one of my all time favorites . Still play their music to this day

[@cinemeleon2808]

This is more of a vibe-out song than it is 'baby-making' music. Chilling at a family cookout or reunion. It's a classic.

[@edwardburks2868]

The Isley's was a soul band with a rock attitude as well 🎸

[@PheLaReux]

This song is like floating in outer space....❤❤❤

[@darrellmatz1111]

This is the OG Soul Music 😎

[@darhyllacylacy]

And still making hits in 2023!

[@barrysylvester6411]

Funny that you should say that. One of their songs is titled,"Sensuality.," one of the most beautiful love songs ever written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marygoodson4920]

Gotta hit "Fight the Power" and "It's Your Thing!"

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hahahaha, Amber says hold up on that baby makin' music, rollin'. Beautiful ballad from the late 70s. Def some cuddle music. They were orininally from Cincinnati. 😉Thanx so much, keep smilin', Peace

[@kerrycronin3581]

I wish I could hit the like button twice! I never really listened to these guys . I knew who there were. Just never did listen to them. I am going to get some dvd's (I'm old . I don't do digital music. Not well anyway) Thanks. I have a smile on my face, too.

[@seanluv1]

Get the Isley Brothers “Beautiful Ballads” CD

[@nettricegaskins1871]

This music is what I always heard along with Earth Wind & Fire during the rare times my late uncle let me ride in his long silver-colored Cadillac with the pristine gray buttery interior and cool air conditioning. It was like I was in another world. Plus, Rob actually looks a little like my uncle. :)

[@ricksaunders8074]

The Isley Brothers go from decade to decade longer then I am old Timeless

[@jcasale3754]

Look at “Climbing up the Ladder” on that same album. Ernie Isley shreds the lead guitar on that bumpin track. Don’t miss it

[@stevensheegog3942]

Six decades of great music! That is a very deep rabbit hole!

[@chrisharris6206]

Oh boy, that Intro with the guitar man, the brothers, and the Voyage to Atlantis of course beyond amazing 😍🤩.

[@juanita5723]

This is one of my favorites by them. Gives me chills. ❤

[@TWes5]

Jimi Hendricks played with the Isley Brothers briefly when Ernie was young and not a part of the group. A lot of his guitar licks he got from listening to Jimi.

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

Who?

[@carolinaandreapadillagonzalez]

Me encanta, Mi grupo favorito!!!!

[@frankticasdroppinknowledge2363]

Not many youtubers have reacted to this gem of a song. This song was one that got me through a rumble tumble adolesence. Whenever I wanted to find a moment of peace among the drama, this would be my go to song, along with "Footsteps In The Dark", and "Zoom" by The Commodores. Keep up the great work guys!

[@dwainwilder7337]

Jay, you guys are right about that rabbit hole. You have a long way to go to hear more of their best. They have been active since 1954. You have heard “Who’s that Lady” from 1974, now listen to the original that was recorded by the Isley Brothers in 1964. Yeah, they remade their own song. “Shout” is another great song they recorded in 1959. Hot dance tune! FYI: by now, you have to know that Ernie Isley has that Jimi Hendrix sound on his guitar because in the early years Jimi played for the Isley Brothers.

[@janicedoke1317]

Yes the Isley Brothers music takes me back to my younger days my older brother would play their music back on the block in Cali. Miss them days.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Got another awesome group The Manhattans-Kiss and Say Goodbye,Shining Star

[@darhyllacylacy]

They made several excellent albums!

[@ksmoove3744]

One of the best slow jams ever 🎉

[@EQSATUB]

This entire album is fucking amazing. Really need reactions to Footsteps in the Dark and the very underrated Climbin’ Up the Ladder.

[@disconnexionsdotcom]

I think they already did Footsteps last year.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

One of the all-time great intros and great tracks. Blistering guitar & sublime vocals.

[@michaelschmidt4352]

This is my favorite song of all time by my favorite group.

[@Cdrop63]

This song is pure love.

[@harpergras]

An iconic group...Does not get any better than The Isley Brothers...A deep rabbit hole.

[@shavingdave1]

Masterpiece! On all ends. You guys and the Isley Brothers! Later.

[@annatafoya4315]

The Isley Brothers, Barry White, and Teddy Pendergrass were but a few of my favorites of what I refer to as sensual music! But the Isley Brothers had a special flare with the music 🎶 i still have many of their albums and now 💿 my my my❤ thank you both so much for sharing this ❤ ❤❤ I continue to enjoy your reactions. God bless you both and your beautiful family!!!!

[@anenglishlife7210]

Most definitely "baby making music 🎵" 😂 Really beautiful.❤

[@OrysB-po1fy]

My Atlantis has been my Atlantis since Atlantis sank. She’s my Atlantis now. She’ll be my Atlantis in the next life. And I’ll always come back to her and find her again. My soul can’t sail the cosmic seas without its partner.

[@NEILL0608]

This has always been my favorite Isley Brothers song.

[@rsable4583]

When I first heard this song i was just blown away Ron Isley and brother Ernie Isley they made some really off the chain hits I'll always love them every time I hear them it takes me back to my 20s

[@SRG4782]

Yes! My favorite Isley Brothers song. I love that guitar in the beginning so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@robertdixon8906]

The Isley brothers harvest for the world. You will love

[@dgodfrey8953]

Love, love, love this tune...

[@ronnix23]

The music in this song sounds similar to another song by them called Choosey Lover. I highly recommend that one.

[@TriplebeamTV]

Please review Dont Say Good Night by the Isley Brothers. One of their classics.

[@poppingjaz]

Got this on vinyl. The entire album is great. A really strong force of a song that rarely gets reacted to is ‘Climbing Up The Ladder’ Ronald and Ernie eat that song up

[@arizonafarang4034]

Yes the instrumentals are great even without horns. There are many of their songs to play here yet

[@NeenMove]

The Isley Brothers who have been in this business for over 60 years.

[@otisroseboro5613]
