Title?

is the name of the song "Shout" or "Shout!"? as far as I knew, it's name was in fact "Shout!", but the title of the page now reads without the exclamation mark. It may not matter either way, or even be consistent within their own naming on their albums, but the entire article should be consistent nonetheless: either with or without the question mark, not both.

It seems to me that the album is entitled "Shout!" (see Shout!_(album)) but the song itself "Shout" (Part 1 or 2) without the exclamation mark. Afghani84 ( talk) 14:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC) reply

O'Keefe version - notations?

"The original Isley Brothers version was a #2 hit in Australia in 1959, sharing the spot with a version by Johnny O'Keefe with the Dee Jays and the Delltones." (version 03 Feb 2011)

Anybody sources for that? The main question for me would be if both Isley Brothers and O'Keefe recorded the song in the same year. If so, who copied who? What about copyright questions? Furthermore there is no evidence for a #2 hit in Australia in the Isley Brothers discography. I guess that the Isley Brothers originally wrote the song and had great success in the US. Johnny O'Keefe heard the song and covered it for the australian market. But that needs to be proven... Afghani84 ( talk) 14:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Later version only avalible (O'Keefe)

I've removed the line stating that the later 1964 version with the Rahjah's is the only commercially avalible version still availible. The recent and newest release of O'Keefe "Wild One: Collectors Edition" contains, like almost every other single O'Keefe disc, the original 1959 recording with the Dee-Jays and Delltones. The first half of the later 1964 version appeared on the long out of print Rajah's Festival Files disc in the 90's, and the full complete 1964 version is not available on cd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Test60spro ( talkcontribs) 10:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC) reply

Instrumentation

The information about the instrumental track is missing from most versions, so I edited that accordingly by adding an "expand section" tag. The Isley Brothers' version, for instance, features a very prominent Hammond organ part, and I'd be interested in knowing who provided the instrumental accompaniment on this version. For now, I'll just assume that the instrumentation is by the production team ( Hugo & Luigi) until I can find a source that mentions who provided the accompaniment. Maybe some other editors can also help find sources.-- 2601:153:800:8308:3813:9EF8:FA5A:C703 ( talk) 07:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC) reply

According to this source, and the Marc Myers book now referenced in the article, the organ was played by Herman Stephens, who was the Isley Brothers' church organist. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 19:22, 5 June 2020 (UTC) reply
