Isley Brothers - known for laying down not only some nasty grooves but some of the mellowest slow jams in R&B. . . .


My Top 5 Isley Brothers songs:


This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You) (1966)

For the Love of You (1976)

Footsteps in the Dark (1977)

Choosey Lover (1983)

Smooth Sailin' Tonight (1987)


What's your Top 5?

I'm sure Solomon can't wait to tell us his favorite Isley Brothers songs ;)

Harvest For The World
Don't Say Goodnight

Livin' In The Life

Groove With You

Between The Sheets

Is it terrible that the only songs of theirs I know are "Shout" and "Twist And Shout" (the latter only because it was later covered by The Beatles)?

And I call myself a music fan. :blush:

AKA, did you read my PM?

Unfortunately, the only two Isley Brothers' songs I have heard are This Old Heart of Mine and Summer Breeze. I like both of them.

What Would You Do


Ya'll need to check out their latest album Baby Makin Music. That album is very good. I wish Ronald hadn't gotten locked up. He should've paid his damn taxes. I hope his health is ok when he gets out so he can do some more Isley Brothers albums with his brother Ernie. I wonder what Marvin Isley and Chris Jasper are doing now. I know Rudolph is a pastor now at a church. Isley Jasper Isley's Caravan Of Love album is pretty good. I hadn't heard it before and when i saw it at the record store for $1 on album, i had to buy it. Their other hit song Insatiable Woman from that album is real nice. Isley Jasper Isley did 2 other albums that i didn't know about. I'm gonna have to check those out.

I only like these songs:

LIVIN' IN THE LIFE
DON'T SAY GOODNIGHT

Summer Breeze
Don't Say Goodnight
Harvest for the World
Groove with You
Between the Sheets

1. Between the Sheets
2. Voyage to Atlantis
3. Footsteps in the Dark
4. Who's that Lady
5. Summer Breeze
