Although the second part/side was pretty much a continuation of the frenetic chant/sung section, it wasn't redundant. The surprise ending is when the instruments and harmony vocals come to a halt, and the lead singer announces in lingering phrasing, "now wait a minute." That was the end of "part one" of the track, which was long enough (four-and-a-half minutes) that it was split into two parts, each presented on a different side of the same 45.
Then suddenly it revs right back up into the hyper-fast revival-like section that opened the tune.
Then the song slows pace fairly drastically into a dynamic midtempo soul-blues groove - the "I want you to know" section, it could be called. The verses start off pretty much as chants, but go into a somewhat more straightforward section in which, for some unclear reason, the singer starts reminiscing about when his girl was nine years old, and how even then he was a fool for her. The structure of the song is very much in gospel, but the lyrics are indeed secular: it's a woman who makes the Isleys want to shout, not god. Then the whole group comes in, with the ebullient soulful lead vocal playing off the stirring backup harmonies in a furious clapalong rhythm. The song starts off with a super-elongated "welllllllll," as if in preparation for some serious testifying. Though "Shout" was recorded for the pop market, it is at its core a gospel revival chant, beefed up with some rock'n'roll instrumentation and energy. There's probably no better example of how gospel fed into early rock'n'roll and the birth of soul than the Isley Brothers' "Shout." It only made #47 in the charts in 1959, but it's had an influence, and has stuck around as a standard, to a far larger degree than that modest placing might indicate. The only thing that changed over the years is that in the later years, I would run with her!Ĭonfession: God has brought me up out of a horrible pit, and out of the miry clay.The relationship between gospel and rock'n'roll's birth has been given short shrift by critics, who have much more frequently outlined the influence of R&B, blues, and country and western music on rock's birth. Hallelujah!” She continued to shout, “ W oooooo!” and ran around the church. More educated and prosperous people joined the congregation, but she would still say, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! It is much larger now than it was when I was a child. Mom ran around the church in West Columbia, Texas, for many years.
He also said, “You need to see how wonderful you are in God and how helpless you are without Him.”
Smith Wigglesworth said, “Some people would be giants in faith if they just had a shout.” Faith shouts while the walls are still standing. Make sure you know what you are shouting about and let it rip! The company that makes Shout detergent uses the slogan: “For those tough stains, you have to ‘Shout’ them out!” I couldn’t agree more. (Romans 1:16)Įverything changes when you begin to understand who you are in Christ and begin to act like the Bible is true. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.
