Forgotten Jam from The Isley Brothers......"The Real Deal"

This jam seems to have been totally forgotten over the years and it was funky as hell.

Anybody into this one?

A derivative song, IMO. By 1982, The Isley Brothers had gotten predictable because they had been mining the same sound for a decade. If "The Real Deal" was released in, say, 1977 when they were red hot it may have been a bigger hit single (as it is, it sounds way too similar to "The Pride" for my tastes).
