On Sunday night, Earth, Wind & Fire and the Isley Brothers went head-to-head in a “Verzuz” special event hosted by Steve Harvey.

Im trying to process this in my mind: how do you have both “Shout” and “Voyage to Atlantis” in your catalog #Verzuz

This ain't a #Verzuz. It's a whole ass concert. We got lucky tonight.
