The Isley Brothers re-recorded ‘Twist and Shout’ in 1962 for Wand Records and turned a flop into a hit, reaching No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 — their first Top 20 single. Their arrangement invented the parts everyone now sings: the ascending build in the bridge and the whooping call-and-response. The Beatles’ famous cover follows their blueprint, not the Top Notes’ original, which makes them the hinge of the whole story — and the version the Beatles’ fame quietly buried.
