Is it just me or is "Between the Sheets" by the Isley Brothers, the best song to get you and your significant other in the mood?

lol I saw that and I was like "THAT'S A FIGHT!"


I'm glad I didn't have to smack anyone down.

ChristopherTracy319, have you heard the rest of the album that "Between The Sheets" is from? I had gone a long time getting by on just that one track, but actually I love the album too.

It's off of Smooth Love. It has for "The Love of You" and "Footsteps in the Dark" on it. Straight up classics that will set the mood guaranteed!

ChristopherTracy319 said:

Yes it is. However i prefer other isley ballads such as sensuality, voyage
to atlantis, don't say goodnight, brown eyed girl, make me say it again
girl, and groove with you and midtempo cuts like say you will and midnight
sky.

Yeah Don't Say Goodnight is one of my all time favorites. The Isley Brother's are definitely underated when it comes to some of the all time greats!

I could never tire of BTS, it's heaven sent. All composure is lost when the break kicks in.

I love love love this song.

'Smooth Love' is a compilation.
The cut originally appeared on the album 'Between The Sheets' (1983)

It's the last 3+3 album.

Thanks for making the correction for me. And as a whole I like the Between the Sheets album.

I like the song but I've heard it till I could scream. It's one of the most overplayed songs in history. As for playing it and getting in the mood, it's not one that I play during that time at all because I consider it more midtempo than slow. "Sensuality" is a much better choice for the bedroom.

Of the tracks on that album ("Between the Sheets"):

"Choosey Lover" and "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier" are among the best.

My favorite on the album is "Gettin' Over".

Incredible song. I love it and it's great for the bedroon.

That is so true. "Sensuality" has to be one of the best songs that doesn't say the title of the song in the lyrics.

lol

vainandy said:

I agree!! I used to love "Between The Sheets" but they have totally played it out.Our classic soul/R&B station plays this song sooooo much,I feel like I hear it more these days than I ever did in 1983 I feel the same way about Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing".

bts is a legend but i'm partial 2 the more guitar led stuff like Hello, It's Me, Summer Breeze,Choosey Lover, Sensitive Lover or Spend the Night

Me, too--on *both* of those songs.
