Shout (4:24)

“Shout” is a popular and influential popular song, originally recorded by The Isley Brothers. Released in 1959, it was written by the brothers themselves as a call-and-response answer to Jackie Wilson’s seminal “Lonely Teardrops” which they interpreted after performing that song during a club date.

While “Shout!” didn’t reach higher than #47 on the Billboard Hot 100, it became their first gold single on the basis of its longevity and became a much-covered tune for them, with many U.S. and international artists recording the song. The song was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It ranked #118 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
