People tend to only remember The Isley Brothers for their slow jams except for us here on the org. The Isley Brothers had plenty of straight up hardcore funk and some of my favorites are:
Livin' In The Life/Go For Your Guns Live It Up Don't Let Up Go All The Way The Real Deal Winner Takes All People Of Today Hope You Feel Better Love Climbin' Up The Ladder Showdown The Pride I Wanna Be With You Hurry Up And Wait Pass It On Who Said Love Fever Mind Over Matter Rockin' With Fire Fight The Power The Belly Dancer Party Nights It's A Disco Night (Rock Don't Stop) Tell Me When You Need It Again Inside You Who's That Lady It's Your Thing Andy is a four letter word. | |

Between the years of 1971 and 1978, The Brothers Isley didn't put out a bad album. It's not like they had two albums during that period either; they put out eight LPs (not including the live album)!
Givin' It Back Brother. Brother. Brother. 3+3 Live It Up The Heat Is On Harvest for the World Go for Your Guns Showdown Live It Up and Harvest for the World are my favorites - not a single bad track on either one. | |

What about "Shout" (1959)? It was one of the first tracks and is one of the best. That's my opinion. It's also one of the most covered songs of all time. | |

They had some good songs back then too, but I'm partial to the 3+3 lineup. | |

One of my favorite bands EVER and Ernie Isley has been a huge influence on me as a guitarist. One major reason I adore The Isleys is that their love that they show for Hendrix through their music is crystal clear. A few faves;
Voyage To Atlantis Ain't I Been Good To You Fight The Power Take Me To The Next Phase Livin In The Life That Lady Summer Breeze Who Loves You Better The Pride Live It Up Hello, It's Me For The Love Of You Footsteps In The Dark Hope You Feel Better Love Midnight Sky Here We Go Again Say You Will Don't Say Goodnight Harvest For The World Go All The Way Climbin Up The Ladder Groove With You SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

The holy trinity of 70's Isleys to me is: 3+3 The Heat is On Go for Your Guns By no means though is this exclusive. This is just the ones I gravitate to the most. They also have some great live stuff where Ernie is on FIRE (Machine Gun anyone) Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |

[Edited 12/21/05 0:03am] can't say enough good things about the Isleys during this era...Not a bad song, IMO. Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |
