Somebody said.....I was livin' in the life......

Somebody told me....I had made it in my life.....

So when you think it's easy, it ain't easy
Cause you ain't me
And I ain't you

It's a hell of a difference
Between the two


Give it up for this jam by the damn Isley Brothers back when they were kickin' ass and throwin' down hard!

Also, Ernie is playing drums on that and I think all of the Isleys cuts."

Back then there were no loops or Pro Tools so a drummer had to play for the whole track and keep the groove while playing the same thing which I admire.

I listened to it this morning and Ernie is playing some nice stuff in the solo. I've haven't heard for a few years and he is rolling!

I am going to attempt to cop some of the licks from it if I can.
