Earth, Wind & Fire, Steve Harvey, and the Isley Brothers on VERZUZ (still)

The Isley Brothers and Earth, Wind & Fire faced off against each other for VERZUZ tonight. Special guest host Steve Harvey hosted the Easter show while the two iconic groups performed their songs and told some stories. It closed with a huge match-up, “That Lady” versus “September,” before a video for the Isleys’ new Snoop Dogg-featuring song “Friends and Family” premiered. Find that video, listen to a playlist with all the songs from tonight’s event, and see how each round played out below.

In March, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz announced that they had sold the brand to Triller, with artists who had previously performed on VERZUZ receiving a financial stake in the new partnership. The next battle puts Method Man and Redman against each other for the “How High 4/20 Special” on April 20. Last month, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah went head to head for a Wu-Tang family showdown.
