"Testify" is a song off the 1983 Stevie Ray Vaughan album Texas Flood. It starts out with a guitar riff and on the 7th bar the drums and bass enter with the beat that carries throughout the whole song. It ends with Stevie Ray Vaughan's signature string snap. Vaughan played Testify live often.

Some album editions and guitar tablature books wrongly credit "Testify" to George Clinton and D. Taylor, although they wrote the unrelated Parliament song of the same name (sometimes called "I Wanna Testify"). This version is an Isley Brothers cover. The original recording was released in 1964 and features Jimi Hendrix on guitar.
