  • We need that Harvest for the World today now more than ever. Repeating history's mistakes over and over again is senseless. Nation after nation hear the voices.......we're speaking for the children!

  • A tremendous and outstanding Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love the Isley's this is music

  • I have not lived in 70 years, but I like a lot and have much respect for singers and groups of black music that came out of this wonderful time of musical culture worldwide. Listening to this song reminds me of when I was a child and saw all parents dancing and singing these songs happily. Now that's real black music.

    Greetings from Brazil

  • I sure do miss soul music. music today doesn't have soul. Some rap comes a little close. The Isley brothers are soul. Thank you! 

  • It's nice to know The. Blackeye Peas carry on the tradition with a unity song on every album

  • @caliken10 You can't even put Blackeye Peas and the Isley Brothers in the same sentence, are you smoking crack?? geeeez....

  • Quanto è bello quel passaggio armonico D11 Gmaj7 C11? Oppure, in altri termini: C/D Gmaj7 Bb/C...

    Ci tengo qui a ricordare che i gruppi soul-funk-disco anni 70 erano costituiti da musicisti molto preparati (di solito, jazzisti...) e quindi io considero questa musica molto più valida del solito "rock da quattro soldi"... pardon: "da quattro accordi"...

  • I have records of the Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind and Fire from the 1970's.

  • Provate ad ascoltarla sulla spiaggia a patong beach

  • Isley Brothers..nice...that guy in the middle, what is his name; he is a GIANT DUDE..dang...

  • @Vvrroommm Rudolf Isley.

  • @luvureally Thanks Rudlof Isley..i will remember that...geez that guy doesn't look any bigger than the others until you take a closer look..Thanks and good day. namaste'

  • @Vvrroommm Yeah, he's HUGE, lol...I wouldn't mess wit him man...!!!

  • I think this is a good Thanksgiving song to post on your site

  • I was trying to find something creative to say about the 22 who dislike this gem, but I will let bad taste speak for itself.

  • Thought about this song on Veteran's Day "Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace, those of us who pay the price, come home with the least..."

  • This is such a gorgeous song, the lyrics are outstanding!

  • thumbs up if you're listening to this in 9 000 000 000 bc, the year this song was not beautiful

  • Gadhafi's dead.No love lost.....Weston's trail of terror...When will there be?

  • @12rdbk When Jesus returns...this world is in desperate need of a savior..some will be saved and some will not just the truth..wish ppl could see we need to prune, get rid of all those cobwebs and weeds that obscure the view so the truth can truly be seen..God I pray that he send our deliverance this world truly holds nothing anymore..killing all around us, death, it will never end till Jesus comes back

  • There are times I believe I was born in the wrong decade

  • Love to hear this song in the 70's!

  • The words of this song that came out in 1976 are as true today as they were back then! Love the Isley Brothers!

  • SO GOOD TO HEAR THE OLDE SCHOOL TUNES......

  • littleduprey1996 You're right, it's not right to put all young people "in a box together."

  • just because everybody after 79 likes different music doesn't mean anything

    we know that if not for this we wouldn't have our music just as if your parents music wasn't created there wouldn't be your music and your parents said the samething your saying about our music think about it you know im right im 15 now what music is this is music so is ours it just a new generation you can't throw stones at glass house

  • Comment removed

  • all you rapper kids out there need too listen too good music like this

  • @bmaloy9 we do trust me we do im 15 i love motown yrs i love old r&b and old school hiphop not all the stuff today is baby but some kids don't listen to this because of what they were raised on i lived with my grandmother for 13 yrs and grew up on these songs i have more of this then what is on the radio

  • @AWisantigov i just learned that today in science class 2day, im in 9th

  • What 22 nimrods dislike this masterpiece?

  • Now this is music!

  • Now this is music

  • Now this is music

  • "Dress me up for battle when all I want is peace, those of us who pay the price come home with the least"- this is a shame that over 34 years later, we are still talking about solving the problem of homeless veterans, it makes no sense whatsoever!!!!

  • @tendure00 Amen!

    

  • I so never tire of music like this!

  • @gotham531 Your right on the dime. He describes our living conditions today. We continue to wait for Christ's return. In the mean time, we are commisioned to continue His work and sow the seed for the great harvest, the rapture. So....suit up with your armor, the armor of God, the bible says, and if words are not listened to, this song will be. What a great way to reach the hearts.

  • As I listen to the words, I wonder if the message I got from them will translate today. Will this new generation take the challenge put forth during the 70's? Will they take the mantle? Do they understand what was meant when Ronald asked the question "When will there be a harvest?" Maybe the 70's was TOO deep. So many visions of a new world with the same objective. Very few get the message James Brown was trying to convey. How do we expect the new generation to grasp Lonnie Liston Smith?

  • @doc2skate the 70's? Are you nuts? The 50's was when this idea took off.

    For the world.

  • my generation seems to be pretty hated here

  • @Porterinooo lol, adults usually have bad comments our generation, if ur a late 90's kid that is

  • "A nation tragic, so concerned with gain,,,,,,!

  • @tendure00 --LOVE the IB! I remember Lincoln Heights (where the IB are from) My grandma lived on Schumard Ave--anyone from the hood remember? LOL The Harvest is coming--I'm glad people are now recognizing the genius of the Isley Bros--too bad only Ronnie.

    Chris and Reggie are left to get any of the new royalties....

  • Always love me some Isley brothers--since 1964--baby--no disrespect to you newbies--but what you just discovered defined the lives of some of us--Isley brothers is black people's music l(the kind that rarely crossed over until recently)

  • this is old school music young people do not understand this kind of music

  • this is the real music

  • Dress me up for battle when all I want is PEACE :)

  • one of the best songs ever, great words, and so appropriate for england right now

  • What you know about this right chea?

  • @keesimo .."feels like the world is closing in on me..." I try to play my music, they say my music's too loud, I try talking about it..." "I've been climbing up the ladder, I keep pushin and I'm bound to know.." Coolin me out----Whatchoo know bout dat? LOL

  • this was the first single i bought when i got my first pay at my first job just loved it true meaning i was sixteen still love it dress me up in battle when all i want is peace maybe oneday lets hope so love junysawrusx

  • we the people of this country, the usa have been for many, many years made it very possible to take a stand and provide enough for everyone but ourselves, we are the most strongest nation on the planet and we still seem to have a homeless and hunger problem here in our very own backyard and that our government seem to still not be able to fix it, so why not a harvest not only for the world but the usa as well...

  • @arthurpaddlesme ??? We don't necessarily have homeless and hungry people here in the U.S. because of the "government" unable to remedy the issue. I'm not talking about all homeless people, but you also need to address the issue of substance abuse, people having kids out of wedlock and that they can't afford, and some who fail to take charge of their destiny. We have a myriad of charity and social programs for the poor here in the U.S.....poor people don't have to go hungry. Peace!

  • This song is 13 years my senior but i can still appreciate this.

    Real music.

  • @ least 20 ppl dont want a harvest 4 da world. sad.

  • GATHER EVERY WOMAN GATHER EVERY MAN!

  • Love tis song. Thanks for shearing .:))))

  • I love this Song. Even though I was born in the 80's, My father used to play thing all the time.

  • warm fuzzies...my beloved introduced me to this song. I love this song so much. It makes me feel so warm inside. I feel like dancing.

  • This is such a gorgeous song from an incredible album. This band is one of the greatest of all time and should get WAY more respect than what they do. When you realize that they've been going since the 1950's and had a hit in all of those decades, it's truly amazing and the 1970's was truly their peak of creativity. Great Post

  • what year is this beautiful song from?

  • @MVR326 = the year was 1976 and it was an awesome year for music my friend! :-)

  • @Soulman785 ....1976, it was. I was only 13 ..3 that come to mind ''Right Back Where we Started From'' ''Wake up Everybody'' and ''50 way to leave your lover'' Just to name a few !!

  • best single ever.....I. was 16 and working in a record shop in glasgow, scotland at the time, was the best seller at the time........... legend...

  • this song is so uplifting it brings tears to my eyes

  • excellent sound frm the brothers!!! can someone hurry up and harvest a peng CHEESE crop! feed up of smoking bog standard weed!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of the greatest songs ever produced... both in music and message.

  • Brill Brill song What ever god we believe in- there is a god and we should take this serious!!! I believe in god and I try every day to 2 good n help otthers

  • @claire30061 Respect, from Michigan, sister. Power to the Peaceful.

  • This song hits me in my hart

  • It's an age old Question, when will there be a harvest for the world? No time soon I think but the Isley Brothers did a beautiful job in asking this question. A heart felt song with not just a social conscious issue but no matter what background you come from you're wondering and asking the same question I know. This song has a very simple down to earth feel about with the instrumentation, just a simple piano, drums, bass and a 12 string guitar. A down to earth arrangement for classic song.

  • REAL ARTIST WITH A TRUE GIFT OF EXPRESSION AND GAB!! HOW I LOVE RAW TALENT!!

  • Gather every man, Gather every woman, Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children! Gather everyone, gather all together, overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world!

  • This is a very good social question.

  • dislikes because of commercials i am sure... what a great song.... these guys had much much soul and verse to share..... love it...

  • We can make it so if we want to.

  • Just found this playing on a medium-wave radio station. Great song :)

  • @AlexanderBrooke Serendipity!

  • Nice song. When will there ever be a harvest for the world? NEVER. Sadly, the world is just too messed up. Too bad too. This song really does bring out the peace and love that so many people desire. TT-TT Let's all just hope that we aren't alive when the real serious troubles begin.

  • Who here remembers 1976 and this Isley Brothers song? Does this song have a good message and can you understand what lead singer Ronald Isley meant when he said "When Will There Be A Harvest For The World'?

  • @kjchicago1 I LOVED this song in 1976...and Harold Melvin & Bluenotes "Wake Up" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On"...not that they were all 1976, but that genre of music...social statements. I still play those tunes to this day!

  • Smooth... I really enjoy listening to their music.

  • coooooooooollll

  • Comment removed

  • @MOLLIEfranksjones It was the time that makes this song so good. Now is it the best Isley Bros jam? Probably not. But for some of us growing up (black) all we had was this music to get us thru each day. Those times were hard and these cats, along with Teddy P., and Marvin G. saved us from ourselves, not to mention EVERYONE ELSE!!!

  • @sexybisquit Real jams like this kept me in line with reality, I was a child when this was played on the radio back in the day.

  • @Heterogenius1I heard that!

  • dress me up for battle when all i want is peace

  • LOVE THE SONG. . .

    pops

  • I love this song i havnet heard this in years fav group

  • great disco song, thanks

  • It's a warm summer night-- the whole world is out groovin-- me and my buddies drive our street machines, or old beat ups to the appointed place, break out the cans of soda and the snacks, sit shoulder to shoulder and drink in the warm summer air filled with so many unspoken poems and sighs on it - and shoulder to shoulder we sway side... to side, to this wonderful song. Every night should be like this.

    Peace

  • why oh why does'nt this kind of music exist any longer. Songs with meaning, inspirations, concern about the world, people just stopped caring about it, now its all meaningless, repetitive one liners, sex, violence, more sex, cussing etc. etc. Thank God for Utube, here you can still find peace of mind. EPIC ISLEY BROTHERS

  • "half of us in need/half of us satisfied" another timeless soul song. with the love x

  • I love this song! Anyone who doesn't is brainwashed by the crap heard on the air now! This is true music..

  • There is so much happening in this song. "Half of us IN NEED.........As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain....and far too many, feeling the strain...Ohhhhh, WHEN will there be a harvest, FOR THE WORLD?" Gather every man. Gather every woman. CELEBRATE your life..........Gather everyone. Gather ALL TOGETHER.........Open up your LOVE. HOPING life is better - FOR THE WORLD.

  • SOON...

  • to the 16 dislikes...y did u listen to it if u don't like it?  pls don't say that was first time hearing that old song. u know u like it. u just wanted to be different.

  • i love this song wish they would bring back all the old time jams cause the music they got today is baa-suda means sugar honey ice tea-

  • When i listened to this song in a presentation in assembly at school once, i fell in love with this song, and the words are so true, when WILL there be a harvest for the world?

  • stevie wonder tapped the dislike button 16 times?

  • @ALIDH88 shame on you for your insincerety to a fellow brilliant musician and human being

  • @MOSSGREEN141

    Dear sir, it's only a joke and no more. Please learn to live with the fact that there will be people who sometimes like to joke around ESPECIALLY on the net. I'm not assaulting the Great Steve!

  • 16 dislikes? Hmmmmm. They all must have hit the wrong button by mistake! This is some of the finest music you will ever hear. Gotta love the Isley Brothers! Thanks for posting Crustybrown.

  • @cwash2005 I think that the dislikes were due to that dumb carton or commercial when you first click this song. People are growing angry at posters who ad their own advertisment and jokes before the clip we want to see or hear. Some of these links say thing like "The video the Government or youtube doesn't want you to see" then when you click on it, it's some clown with a con game or some stupid video thats disrespectable to President Obama or something. Malik Jubal

  • @cwash2005 I agree with every word you said

  • @cwash2005 They might be REDNECKS... lol..lol...

  • ='D

  • This is a song with a message, but you know people don't get it, they didn't get it then and don't get it today, and for all the greedy political folks who sponges off poor and helpless people and never STOPS, how can the harvest ever be enough for the world?

  • THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECORDS. When will be a Harvest for the World!!!!! MIN R.E.Cummings JR. WAI inc circa, 2011. Longevity thats The Isleys.

  • Just love this song. Always give me a buzz and makes me feel really happy and alive. Cheers Wayne from Wickford.

  • 16 people were harvested. Love this song by the way. RIP to good wholesome music ( pours a 40 ounce onto the curb )

  • This makes me happy and brings back some awesome memories! Thank you for posting!

  • WHEN THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD BEGINS TO BECOME TO MUCH TO BEAR, LOOK TO JESUS AND HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE, AND COMFORT AND UNDERSTAND UNTIL HE RETURNS............
