Isley Brothers -- Soul Shout!
For starters Soul Shout isn't an official Isley Brothers release. This album is a compilation from bargain basement label Pickwick. They basically reissued a bunch of old tracks at a low price while the groups are still in the charts. Soul Shout ain't bad, as an album! It features the super mega hit Twist and Shout, which is fine and good to hear, but the numbers to write home about are The Snake and especially Right Now. The Snake is a danceable swingin' doo wop number, while Right Now is a jazzy, soulful full blown emotional vocal demonstration, almost like letting their fans know that they aren't just a one hit wonder, but a Soul Shoutin' force to be reckoned with -- meaning get yourself some Isley's RIGHT NOW!
