Great song from The Isley Brothers. This is one of my favorite albums from them also. My favorite cut on this album is "Don't Let Up".

Aaaah! I didnt know that. I been just buying those songs not really knowing what was a single or not...Im a late bloomer when it comes to the Isleys funk. Party Night is also now one of my favorite Isley tracks of all times from this album too. What I like about Hurry Up And Wait is the b section of the verses leading up to the chorus. Very melodic and memorable.
