Shout

Digitally remastered reissue of this 1959 debut album from the Soul/R&B legends. As 'Lonely Teardrops' by Jackie Wilson was rising up the charts, family group The Isley Brothers incorporated the song into their stage act. They also came up with something of an answer record, the call and response number 'Shout'. Put into the studio by RCA under the watchful eyes of Hugo (Peretti) and Luigi (Creatore), 'Shout' would become a perennial seller, earning the group their first gold disc for sales of over a million copies. Yet the single was never a major hit on the charts, peaking at #47; it's success has been based on the number of other acts who either recorded it or used in their stage shows, including the Beatles, the Temptations and Lulu.
