Watch the Full Replay of Earth, Wind & Fire vs. The Isley Brothers ‘VERZUZ’ Battle

 

The much awaited Earth, Wind & Fire vs. the Isley Brothers VERZUZ took place on Sunday for a special Easter edition that had the audience hooked.

Both iconic groups played classic songs from their historic catalogs — Earth, Wind & Fire’s going back to the 70s while The Isley Brothers’ dating back to even further, the 50s. Hosted by Steve Harvey, the legendary musicians also revealed some untold stories throughout the session where more than half a million viewers tuned in.

The Isley Brothers started the battle with ‘Love the One You’re With’ while Earth, Wind & Fire played ‘That’s the Way of the World’. After almost 2 hours of playing classics, the audience felt that the Isley Brothers won the celebration. That’s no surprise as they’ve literally had hits on the Billboard Hot 100 over 5 decades.
