More about this title

About the Composer: Ronald Isley

Ronald Isley is the legendary lead voice of the Isley Brothers, one of the most influential R&B and soul groups in American music history. His songwriting and vocal delivery shaped popular music across multiple decades, from the 1960s through the present day, and his compositions remain staples of American culture.

Why we love this

Michael Brown's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while sitting comfortably in the Grade 2-3 range, making it accessible to developing ensembles without sacrificing the groove. The familiar vocal hook paired with built-in audience recognition means your band will feel genuinely fun to watch, not just technically competent. It's the kind of chart that reminds musicians why they marched in the first place.

What to expect

Loose, celebratory, and infectious. The arrangement sparkles with the original's playful vocal swagger while the horn lines and rhythm section create propulsive momentum that naturally builds energy with each section. Your audience will smile the moment they recognize it.

Who it's for

Bands seeking an accessible pop chart with instant recognition and proven audience appeal. This works equally well for competitive circuits that value entertainment value and younger ensembles still building fundamentals.

How to get the most out of it

  • Nail the dynamic contrast between the softer and louder sections. The arrangement hinges on this push-pull, so have your ensemble lock in those sudden changes without losing the pocket.
  • Keep the rhythm section relaxed and swinging rather than rigid. This is funk, not march time, so encourage your players to feel the pulse rather than mechanically count it.
  • Front ensemble or auxiliary percussion should lean into the rhythmic punctuation. These hits define the character, so mark them clearly in rehearsal and demand precision on the releases.

How to use it

Program this on a show that balances technical focus with pure enjoyment. It works beautifully in the second or third spot on a program where you need to shift mood and energy, or as an opener that immediately connects with spectators before pivoting to more demanding repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Dynamic control and contrast between forte and piano sections
  • Swing interpretation in a pop/funk idiom
  • Precision articulation on rhythmic hits and punctuation
  • Balance within horn sections carrying melodic material
  • Lock and pocket with the rhythm section
