I am gonna give it to you straight, These disc are hot!!! Too hot for the average R&B fan. I guess you folks need some help in your education on R&B musical enjoyment. 50 years of music folks, 50 count'em 50 years of soulful ballads, 50 years of not giving up no ground, and you haven't fought the powers that be. Many cuts that you don't hear on the radio, because the radio lost its soul.
All this talk about R&B music, you better go back and call Tyrone, maybe he'll lend you his bone. Oops, phone. The Isley Brothers were the best at taking you to Atlantis old school style. But, before they even decided to take you there. Most of us were digging "It's your Thing", "Black Berries", 'Lady Lay", "Work to Do", "Pop That Thang", or "I Turned You On". And when they wanted to slow it down a minute, we got "Don't let me be Lonely Tonight", or "Summer Breeze" "Hello It's Me", "For the Love of You" and "Make me say it Again, Girl". 40+ tracks and yah'll ain't talking about it!! It must be "The Pride", that hides what you feel inside.
These are great songs, that need to be heard again and again. Bet they can take you on a "Caravan of Love". I can do this all day folks, anyway, your missing out if you don't own this is batch of goodies from the past. Check it!!"
