According to Unterberger, the new arrangement infused the tune with more "[[Gospel music|gospel]]-fired soul passion":<ref name="AM"/> {{blockquote|[T]he real master trick of this rearrangement was a new bridge consisting solely of four ascending sung notes, the tempo becoming more emphatic and dramatic, ending in exultant sustained whooping before a "shake it up baby" led the Isleys back into the verse.<ref name="AM"/>}} "Twist and Shout" became the group's first single to reach the Top 20 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] singles chart. This version of the song was inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/awards/hall-of-fame-award#t|title=GRAMMY Hall Of Fame | Hall of Fame Artists | GRAMMY.com|website=grammy.com}}</ref> ===Personnel=== *Lead vocals by [[Ronald Isley]] *Background vocals by [[Rudolph Isley]] and [[O'Kelly Isley Jr.]] ===Charts=== {|class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" !Chart (1962β1963) !Peak<br />position |- !scope="row"|US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Hot 100|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KBcEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22isley%20brothers%22&pg=PA14 |via=Google Books|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=August 11, 1962}}</ref> | style="text-align:center;"|17 |- !scope="row"|US ''[[Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|title=Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles: 1942-2004|publisher=Record Research|year=2004|page=277|author-link=Joel Whitburn}}</ref>'' | style="text-align:center;"|2 |- !scope="row"|US [[Cashbox Top 100 number-one singles of 1965|''Cash Box'' Top 100]]<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Hoffmann|first1=Frank W.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=djbaAAAAMAAJ&q=%22twist+|title=The Cash Box Singles Charts, 1950–1981|last2=Hoffmann|first2=Lee Ann|date=1983|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-1595-7|pages=291|language=en}}</ref> | style="text-align:center;"|7 |- !scope="row"|US ''[[Cashbox Top 100 number-one singles of 1965|Cash Box]]'' Rhythm & Blues Singles<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cash Box R&B Singles 8/11/62|url=https://cashboxmagazine.com/archives-r/60s_files/19620811R.html|access-date=July 28, 2020|website=cashboxmagazine.com}}</ref> | style="text-align:center;"|3 |- !scope="row"|[[UK Singles]] ([[Official Charts Company|OCC]])<ref>{{Cite web|title=ISLEY BROTHERS {{!}} full Official Chart History {{!}} Official Charts Company|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/10762/isley-brothers/|access-date=July 28, 2020|website=www.officialcharts.com}}</ref> | style="text-align:center;"|42 |}
