the first time the Isley trio tried this song it failed miserably... add a guitar solo a few years later and you've got yourself a timeless hit. thank you Ernie!
@MrCachorrillo matter of fact I will top that. Although I had damn near nosebleeds when I saw the Isley Brothers back in 2001, I saw Ernie perform front row last year and shook his hand after the concert at the Jimi Hendrix Experience tour!! Seeing him is one thing but actually meeting someone who's influenced you the play the guitar and shaking the hand he rips the axe with is a life changing experience!
I sent this record to a friend of mine in Texas back when I first heard it. He was into heavy rock and called me and about cussed me out. I said just give it a few listens, he was hooked.
i remember in 1976 blasting this in my dormroom in college---the RA came knocking on the door i thought i was in a shit load of trouble---he just wanted to know who did the song----lol---true story
the opening of this still manages to make the hairs stand on end: chillin'.
Can't believe that this is so old - it must be, I was about 12 when it was released lol !!!Has to make my All-Time Top 20 Songs Ever!!
Just had to listen to this again as I'd heard it earlier, being blasted out by my son, getting ready for a night out with the lads. Good taste must be in the genes son x
I'm 53 this brings me back to about 16 years old back in the Lafayette Gardens Projects. Theirs sound was in the parks and at birthday parties. It's when I started smoking grass. It was funky, psicodelic, and keep on trucking times. Remember those bellbottoms, plattform shoes, hippies and fro's. YeahHHH mannn! cool times!
@flamebait07 many people don't know this, but a young Jimi Hendrix played with the Isley Brothers before achieving solo success, as did a young Elton John.
Jimi played on the original (1964) version of this song, back when he was just a studio cat. I've heard that Ernie's solo on this version was a deliberate tribute to Jimi... unless you wanna believe that he was briefly possessed by Jimi's ghost.
Can't say which version is "better", though. They're too different to compare, but they're both damn good.
I have always loved this jam. Ever since I danced with a black chick for the first time to it. Yep this white guy can get down with the best of them, or at least I could back in the day. The Funk has always brought out the boogie in me.
Ernie really could jam on guitar back in the day, right, gang? Who're these 6 who don't like it? Take 'em out and flog 'em! Hit #2 soul, and #6 pop in Billboard. God bless!
Used to listen to this and hum it to myself when it was popular.........thinking about my "lady".........since June 1, 1974 she's been my wife.......I repeated to her tonight, she was and is my "dream come true".........much investigation and analysis; created the "ideal" list in my mind, and was lucky-enough to find her..........in the office!!
I hate it when The Younger Generation calls Everything from the 70's Disco. This is Definitely Not Disco This Good Old Rythum and Blues. Not all Music that had a Beat was Disco.
journeytruth: lotta truth to that....Hendrix gave Ernie his first guitar....and he is using an Octavia pedal here....an effect Jimi used for Purple Haze!!!!
1974....Northern Minnesota...hooked a ride W/a friend of a friend down to Mpls.,St.,Paul....Isley Bros., concert....SO FREAKIN" COOL...felt SOOOOO Much love there...didn't even notice that I was one of the only white kids (I was 14) there...such sweet vibes & now memories.....
My oh my how time flies when this song came out I was going to St. Augustine's Prep School behind Ebbets Field in Brooklyn off Bedford avenue. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of private school, those were the days!!!
i wish i had to communicate through song lyrics...itd make every so much more fun...

Jimi Hendrix whs NOT a Isley Brother,sorry.
Ernie Isley is the "Magician" on the lead gutiar.
Do a search for him. One version he plays the solo behind his head and never misses a note.
He's a lead gutiar stud.
Peace.
