Inspired by their own public's reaction while singing Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops, the Isleys exclaimed: "You know you make me wanna shout", triggering even more reactions. Building Up To Shout, the live opening track of their recommended box set It's Your Thing, further illustrates this song's genesis. Followed up with Twist And Shout, also covered by The Beatles (see there).
