Close but not technically correct. George Moreland sat in the drummers chair in the 70s - all the way thru 1974. Ernie played on the title track of 1974's 'Live lt Up' but George played the rest of the album. From 1975's 'The Heat Is On' with one or two exceptions in the early 80s, it was Ernie all the way.
Isley Brothers stays on my listening Rotation...along with G n R, Rick James, Stevie Wonder, Van Halen, Prince. Sadly this Musicianship is forever gone from R & B music.
There will never be another band like the Isley Brothers Cannot get this song out of my head. What a great guitar performance by Ernie. They were fantastic performers and guitar players such a great sound. Then Ronald took over and "Mr. Biggs" stepped in. Ronald has some health issues now but Sunday in San Francisco he did a pretty good job despite his weakness etc.
Besides Singing - He is Guitar Virtuoso - That Unmistakable ISLEY BROTHER SOUND - I LOVE THEM ALL !!! Phenomenal Player Up there with All The Great Guitar Players Past And Present- he SURLY picked up some Tips From JIMI Hendrix👍🏻👍🏻🙃
DAMN!!!!!! Think Jimi rubbed off on a young Ernie during his time with the Isleys?I've had this song suck in my head for a day. Ernie is just a Bad Ass. This song, especially that tone, that fuzz and fazer tone is the reason I picked up a guitar in 1973. Thanks for posting this Gem. All I can say is D A M N!!!
Dude, who do you think taught him how to play guitar? In case you missed that part Jimi Hendrix was once the guitarist for the Isley Brothers. Ernie idolized Hendrix which is why you see so much of his playing artistry to be the same as Hendrix.
@@OGK_Show Hendrix did not TEACH Ernie to play guitar. He Inspired him. Ernie was a young child when Hendrix used to live with and play for the Isley Brothers. So said Ernie himself
@@OGK_Show : we partly...jimi did play with the isley's and lived at his ( the isley's ) home, earniey was about 11yrs old at the time. I have no doubt jimi showed his things, but earnie was more so influenced by his sound, style, etc, than actually being taught by him. The public sort of created that legend. You can read more about this from earnie 's words in a book called " the stratocaster chronicles"
"Ernie (Isley) was born in Cincinnati (March 7, 1952), where his older brothers formed The Isley Brothers, first as a gospel group, then as a secular singing group. In 1960, his family moved to Englewood/Teaneck, New Jersey. He attended Dwight Morrow High School.[3] During this period, Jimi Hendrix (known then as Jimmy Hendrix) joined the group and lived with the Isley family from Spring of 1963 through Thanksgiving of 1965.[4] Young Ernie was fascinated watching Hendrix practice and play. It was a great influence on his guitar playing. [5] - Wikipedia ruclips.net/video/OQrqa8eBWFE/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Amazing talent.Thats a rare white Fender Stratocaster. Ernie played Strat, banged drums, sang. He played like Jimi, making love to his white Strat. The neck used rare and best wood. A virtuoso's guitar. That's one reason for the strong sound.
always loved the lead guitar tone in this song, listened to it when i was very young and still playin' at almost 70 !
One of the greatest riffs/solos of all time.
Little broadcasted fact. Ernie Was, also, the studio drummer for this and all of the band's seventies hits.
Really?!

Ernie Was?? Is he the brother of Don Was??? (I'm pointing out your capitalisation fail.)
If I'm not mistaken, earnie played bass on " it's your thing", and the late great Charlie Pitts was on guitar.
Thanks a lot for enlightening me, sir.

SO UNDERRATED AS A GUITAR PLAYER, ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Criminally underrated! He’s better than anyone on the Classic Rock stations, if you catch my drift.
Absolutely!
You better believe it
@@TonyUnyunhe's not underrated in the Black community
Ernie Isley solos like ... a Hendrix with mature focus and staying power.
what tone! Ernie showing the great Jimi influence!! I’m sorry...but what losers are giving thumbs down to this?
I know right who would give this a thumbs down ? 👎 they was trippin
Who ever thumbs down this was tripping Ernie Isley is the real deal
Even a chimp can be trained to press a thumbs down icon !!!###
Man that melody could make a family of 5 cry.....ernie.....santana.....and David Gilmour are my favs!!!!!
Didnt know ernie could sing like that, Nice
He song on Isley Jasper Isley LPs
@@BeeBlessedRev oh ok, cool, thanks

If ernie was white he'd be considered a rock god.
You are so right Ernie is the best ever
I have never heard Ernie lead sing and I have be an Isley fan since the 60s...Wow. He sounds good.
did u listen to any of the Isley Jasper Isley albums? he sang lead on a bunch of their songs. Check out Blue Rose, Look the Other way ..
And also his 1990 solo album as well 😉👍.
Of all the Isleys, Ernie is the best. Just like Jimi, he makes love to his guitar!

Awesome Video!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!! Great Song!!!
I love me some Ernie Isley
Ernie Isley!!! Wow love this!!!🎸❤️
Virtuoso guitarist of Ernie Isley… Brilliant at his best performance!!!!!
Yes 1,of the greatest ever to play the guitar for real for real I think he's will give Jimmy Hendrix a run for his money. Sho-nuff.
Appreciate you supporting me
Someone said that Jimmi was Ernie’s mentor
The BEST days of music. Thank you for sharing! ✌🏼💜
Well done, Ernie. This is a keeper!
Ernie, killing it! He is the sound of the Isleys as well as Ronnie Isley of course
One of the greatest songs ever recorded!
Ernie is an amazing guitar player! I could listen to him all day plus he’s really good looking!
Man, can he play the guitar!
Incredible
Ernie is using a Yamaha pacific basic of 200 USD..
Oh my God, what a great sound of that beautiful and cheap guitar ❤️❤️
No that's a higher end Yamaha from their LA custom shop. Pacificas started out as custom guitars made for session guitarists.

Ernie Isely There Nobody can Play The Way You Do I Love This Best Unstoppable Go Enie Isely.

This track is all guitar from beginning to end!
Ernie is amazing. My favourite guitarist is Carlos Santana but Ernie is up there. Love him to bits.
Mine is Jimmi Hendrix. Someone said that Ernie was mentored by Jimmi
It's called showmanship in one's instrument - Peace ! ! ! 🔊 👏 👤 .
I'm fucking floored,couldn't take my eyes off for 1 second,classic!!
VERY GOOD I REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO IT .GREAT JOB ON THE GUITAR.
Ernie started off playing drums and bass. He, Chris, and Marvin - great musicians. Masters at composing music. Isleys!
Wish I could compliment Earnie with musical notes. Mr. guitar's language compliments are best. Thanks.
He learned pretty well Jimmy style! He’s so good at shredding!!
REAL Musician 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...😮 Awesome
He's such a badass.
Thank you! Circa 1976, I knew I saw greatness...
Best version.....ever.
Nice ....G.O.A.T. Guitar player
Ernie blows my socks off!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of my favorite songs
Amazing!! You should let people know this is "Who's That Lady" so people can find this great performance. You'll get a lot more views that way.
They can say what they like about Prince but Ernie Isley plays faster and finishes when he’s supposed to.
Killin it!
Cat is in my top 3 w Jimi and Eddie Hazel aka= the Holy Triumvirate of Funk Rock guitar💣🎸🤘🏾🫡
Erie Isley is incredible
This is Carlos Santana level in his best years! And beyond....
I promise to play Ernie Isley everyday in one form or another until I'm gone
Brilliant
This dude is unbelievable. Legend! Rock is a Black art form don’t forget that.
even though blacks don't listen play to even like rock music
When he played that thing behind his back I wasn’t no good ..
GOAT STATUS
This is so Amazing

Jimi Hendrix taught Ernie Islet well!!!
I told my wife if I could play half as good as him I will park my truck at play music full-time

Amazing talent.Thats a rare white Fender Stratocaster. Ernie played Strat, banged drums, sang. He played like Jimi, making love to his white Strat. The neck used rare and best wood. A virtuoso's guitar. That's one reason for the strong sound.
For all that don’t know... Earnie wrote deal of the Isley Brothers’ hits. Ijs,,
