I had 2 babies and no job in the recession of the early 90s. In Philly. Somehow I hooked on to a teamster job unloading trucks at night. This song came on my radio and a flood of relief and happiness came over me. I’ve never forgotten the song and how I felt that night
@@gailgreen5621I'm a 1963 baby and days like this a music like this I long for but every so often when you get to listen you can go back for that brief moment in time and it's lovely❤
My condolences for you Nakia… I can tell they were wonderful Grandparents by the way you talk about them 😊… my Mom passed in ‘76 at a young 40 yrs. back in the Bronx, and I kept her memory alive by always calling my grandma and talking about my Mom. My prayers for you that you have peace in your heart, and take comfort in what the Bible tells us about our Grand Creator Jehovah God, when his son Jesus Christ said at Luke 20:38 “...He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him…” … yes, your beloved grandparents are in God's memory 😊
In the morning before work before they dropped me off for school...my grandfather would sing this song to my grandma... he's been gone and she just passed August 5th....oh how l miss them both...rest in peace pa-pa & nana... love you alway's ❤

@@juliovegaBronxthank you so much❤ l miss them so terribly especially my nana she passed August 5, 2024...she had early onset dementia...she was my heart and now that she's gone l feel like apart of me is broken...but l get through it by playing a country music play list of songs l heard while riding in the truck with them in the mornings...it was her favorite....
See from earlier comments that this came out in 1972 -what a great tune, I was born in 1968 and grew up listening to Motown ,Philly and all the wonderful music from that era. What memories - the world seemed so less complicated back then compared to now.
A great joy to hear this song again after many years on Radio BBC6 last weekend ! Used to love dancing to this , and all their other incredible songs! Superb band of musicians and singers.
@@culcharmediaproductions3201 Years this song was released: Isley Brothers (1972) The Main Ingredient(1973) Average White Band (1974) Vanessa Williams (1991) Fattburguer(2004)
I hear you this is the theme song for people between jobs Jobs they need to support their family Jobs they love and need energy and a little extra push 💪🏾👏🏾🙏🏿💐🏃🏿♀️
Geez. I never thought she was that bad. Just that maybe she wasn't getting it yet. Maybe never had that in her life. Like this was the first time she'd ever seen this. What you've never experienced, you don't know about, YET.....
Man....been putting out hits since 1956. It's your thing ....twist and shout.... They were my fams group....back in the 70s....he loved The Isley Brother's....on life!
I heard this song back in the 70’s and I heard again on a plane traveling to Hawaii it was the lead song to a movie. I was grooving on my seat with my headsets on.
No, no problem, I remember when her version came out, it too was a monster hit, so easy to think it was originally hers, that's the thing, so many songs have been covered so many times, people don't even know who originally did the song, see how Robin Thicke was sued by Marvin Gaye's family, there are people still around, who remember,..Godspeed, Peace ✌

Right On!
Absolutely today's world is so depressing at times but when you hear this kind of music it takes you back even if it's just for the brief moments❤

Vanessa Williams brought me here with her great cover of this classic ❤
RIP Rudolf Isley! love and affection for all th music!!!
Yassss hunnies!! Sang Ron.
Cool to hear the original
Happy Labor Day to all of the American workers. Playing WORK TO DO by the Isleys
Musically incredible
Love this song!
Jesus if you’re listening bring this sound back!
As you wish.
Whose still listening in 2024?
Yes sir
A challenge brought me here, I said Isley Bros, my clown co-worker said Ohio Players
Grown Folks' Music! Never gets old!
Year in year out this never gets old. Unlike me.
Here from move Roleplay😅
My Momma & Father played this while we cleaned the House on Saturdays! The Good Ol Days!!!!!!!
I love that
Love them and average white band.There both great groups! Classic music is the greatest!😎
yupyupyup get sweaty moving
Grew up on the Isley Brothers, but I have to say I like the AWB version much more!
@@williamwatkins1663 i didnt know they had a version. i was probably 2 when this song came out so i missed out lol. wil look up soon
Good music stops you in your tracks. Such a cool song & motivator :)
I love me some Isleys!!!❤❤❤
Classic mayne!!!!! Classic!!!!!!
2024🤲🏿
You just don't hear good music like this in this era. Nothing like the good old days.🙌🙌
The chorus of this song often bounces around in my head.
Great song!
Damn That's a great jam. Cincinnati boys
New Jersey. Their record label was named T-Neck for a reason: Teaneck, NJ.
They're originally from Cincinnati Ohio
These guys started in the early sixties!! Look up some of the old black and white videos..Jimi played with them, where he learned his sense of groove
Dont mean to shade your response, but the Isleys began in the 50's, not the 60's. Their first BIG hit came in 1959 with SHOUT.
@@fostermac7170yes!!! I Got Work…
Love this so much . Thank you
MY FAVE SONG WHEN AM AT COLLEGE
That's the way to do it ❤
This album cover looks like it should be somewhere in Dead Presidents.. if you know you know.. 😂 #85born
Did the Hughes brothers use the album cover art as inspiration hmmm
Their best ever... let me know!
One of many!!
TIMELESS ❤️🔥💯
Masterpiece ❤️
The Best Music ever ♥
Great song❤️
Hey Michael, listen to their entire catalog - these guys nail it,. especially their Motown era .. . . .

Staple of early FM Free-form radio in the 70s, sounds as good now as it did when was a teen
Tremendous song!
I like this song
One of my favorites by the Isley Brothers
JBP bought me here,so i rolled up and listen to my uncles. We got work too do!!
Soulful.
Nothing eve again like the Isleys
You can hear the frustration in Ron's voice. Working day and night and the wifey still ain't satisfied!
Geez. I never thought she was that bad. Just that maybe she wasn't getting it yet. Maybe never had that in her life. Like this was the first time she'd ever seen this. What you've never experienced, you don't know about, YET.....
Might wanna rethink the wife 😂😂😂
Timeless🎉🔥
This played in a Home Depot. Fitting.
Lol I heard this at the store too.
It's so cooool !!!!
Currently unemployed but when I get a job the isleys will be collecting a royalty check for sure.
Born in 53 & I love this music
I didn't no this was the Isleys whatttttttt!!!!!😅
The earliest tracks 👣
Man....been putting out hits since 1956.
It's your thing ....twist and shout....
They were my fams group....back in the 70s....he loved The Isley Brother's....on life!

✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Yo yo the funk will do it
If you're a real man You betta tell her. We can chill later honey. I got shit to do.
The mood today.
I heard this song back in the 70’s and I heard again on a plane traveling to Hawaii it was the lead song to a movie. I was grooving on my seat with my headsets on.
I got some work to do ?The hard you work I got you .That make the work easy .To come home to you.
This is the song that makes you want to go to work hard for the big paycheck.
This songs brings back a lot of memories
Why did my young ass think this was Vanessa Williams' song? This version packs a harder punch. You can't beat the original.
It beat out the Average White Band's remake as well.
What were they thinking?
Lol
No, no problem, I remember when her version came out, it too was a monster hit, so easy to think it was originally hers, that's the thing, so many songs have been covered so many times, people don't even know who originally did the song, see how Robin Thicke was sued by Marvin Gaye's family, there are people still around, who remember,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
@@TheAudivisioner No no no The A.W.B did i great version, (if you're white and british). But yes The Isleys are the benchmark for sure.
AWB's Version was on Point !!!
what a fucking song lol god damn
I LOVE this song 🔥❤
2023🔥
#TUNE!!!!
Drummer is funky too
Maaaan, WHAT a song!
I was born in 1969. I like this song.
So underated!
Better than the trash on the radio today.
Thumbs up if Verzuz brought you here 👍🏽
Sick record !!! 🤦🏾♂️🔥
Such a successful band through many genres. So satisfying to me. I began with the Beatles.
