for isley brothers fans 1957-2003

There aren't too many musical artists who have been going as
long as the ISLEys. yes its only Ronnie & ernie,now.
(GOD bless o'kelly may he rest in peace) and brother RUDolph
has been a minister for several years now.

but for isley fans-which tunes best represent these underrated r & b giants?

tunes that i still wear out:SHOUT 1 & 2,testify (with jimi
hendrix in guitar) its your thing,you turned me on,
footsteps in the dark,harvest to the world,coolin' me out,
hope you feel better love,livin' in the life,footsteps in
the dark,hello its me,lover's eve,the blacker the berry,
that lady,and take me to the next phase...just to name a
few...

what's up isley fans?

This Old Heart of Mine
At Your Best(You Are Love)
Summer Breeze
Hello It's Me
Atlantis
Footsteps In The Dark
I Wanna Groove With You
Fight The Power
Live It Up
For The Love of You
Sensuality
Voyage To Atlantis
Spend The Night

"The Heat is On" is another great album of theirs too. You can't forget the classics like "Fight The Power", "For the Love of You" & "Hope You Feel Better Love".
NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE.
