Oh yes the Isley Brother's baby!! I loved the 73 til 85 era, that's when I was growing up. I still jam to this album and "Showdown" and all the hits. Always loved them!

73-85 for me, sooooo many great cuts during that era for them!

In 1979,the Isley Brothers released a double album,Winner Takes All.I think it's one of their strongest,yet most underrated albums

The beginning of the revival of the Isleys

I like the 73-85 Isley Brothers the best. I really need to listen to them again.

3+3 era no doubt!

These dudes were killers 1970 - 1978

Who here remembers JS?

We're on the same page. "That Lady" has one of the best openings EVER.

The Christopher Jasper era 1973 - 1983

Chris Jasper was the first Isley Bros member to have his own cartoon. The first time I ever saw Chris Jasper was on his cartoon called Thundercats as Lion-O. I remember pointing at the TV and screaming "mom, mom look! It's the caravan of love guy". To see Lion-O out here singing about love and turning his sword into a keyboard was something I knew MJ or Prince would never be able to do.

I was just listening to the 1976 Harvest For The World album.It's one of my favorites by them (especially the title track)

The 3+3 era was one of the best runs in music period!
