Spanning decades, both The Isley Brothers and Earth, Wind & Fire have hits that stick like grits. There’s no denying that their singles and albums are held in high esteem.
There’s no feeling like being surrounded by your family on Easter Sunday. Verzuz capitalized on those intimate emotions during the funk-filled battle featuring Earth,Wind & Fire and The Isley Brothers on Sunday evening.

Spanning decades, both groups have hits that stick like grits. There’s no denying that their singles and albums are held in high esteem in households throughout the globe. Funk and soul are distinct genres that were undeniably shaped by the music both of these groups shelled out years ago which started with The Isley Brothers during the ‘50s. The ‘70s were dominated by Earth, Wind & Fire’s distinct sound.

Steve Harvey was the ideal host for the legendary battle. Almost after every track, Harvey offered up his thoughts on moments in time where he felt moved by the music. At the beginning of the match, he even delved into a few memories when he was first introduced to both group’s music.

Seeing the great @dnice play @isleybrothers @ClassicMotown This Old Heart Of Mine from 1966 was better than anything seen heard on radio the past 25 years. Sounds like it landed from outer space
