Nice cut, My cuz refer to this as "That Isley Brother song with the drums".

"What time is it"..."It's griiiiind time"

Obviosly, Prince was influenced by this.

Prince and every other singer/songwriter in the last 30 years. I would love 2 hear Maxwell remake this.

It sometimes saddens me the Isleys don't get the credit they deserve.

Yeah. It is sad. I think after Ron is gone, then they may get the recognition they deserve.

Are they even in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? After all, they influenced everyone from Hendrix and The Beatles to Jodeci.

daPrettyman said:

Yes they are in the rock and roll hall of fame but probably based on their 60's work i.e twist and shout, this old heart of mine, it's your thing. Most of their 70's work was strictly r&b with the exception of who's that lady.

Sensuality by the way is my favorite isleys ballad.
It is definitely one of those isley ballads to get
your on.

They were inducted in 1992. IMO, they should've been inducted years beforehand. I do think that when all is said and done, we'll hear more about how the Isleys influenced a lot of artists be it rock, soul, hip-hop, jazz, whatever.

It's intersting how you can hear how others have been influenced by their sound. To me, their 70s work took on a "sensual" approach...especially in their ballads.

Their ballads like "Sensuality", "For The Love Of You," "Let's Fall In Love", "Voyage To Atlantis" and others show us all vocally how a man can make love to a woman by singing. It is amazing. Come on, listening to Sensuality takes you from foreplay to climax in just a few minutes.

It does!!! Ronald Isley had some of the most underrated vocals of all time. He can sound gritty and fiery on the uptempo records and can sound sweet and delicate and soothing on the smoother stuff.

One of their best slow jams.
