Love Songs (2001) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

It's hard to believe that Ronnie Isley collaborated with Dr. Dre and the departed Tupac Shakur on some of the late 20th century's most hardcore hip-hop music. Isley, of the renowned group the Isley Brothers, has his roots firmly placed in '70s R&B and soul music. D'Angelo, Maxwell, and R. Kelly, among other bedroom-music artists, all owe a bit of ...

Now That's What I Call Christmas! [Universal]

Now That's What I Call Christmas! [Universal] (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ...

The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 50's

The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 50's (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Surprisingly, The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 50s features more actual rock & roll than either of the volumes of the series devoted to the '60s or the '70s, including early rock classics like Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock," "Heartbreak Hotel," and "Hound Dog"; Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"; and Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba." The rest of ...

Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971 (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Instead of following Stax/Volt's pattern and delivering an exhaustive box set containing all of their singles, Motown decided to limit their singles box, Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971, to four discs that concentrated on the hits. There are a handful of wonderful lesser-known songs here, such as the Contours' "First I Look ...

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '60s, Vol. 2

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '60s, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '60s is an excellent mid-line collection that contains 20 hits. Although the packaging is a little skimpy, all of the recordings are the original hit versions, which makes the compilation an excellent choice for casual listeners and the budget-minded. Among the highlights on Hits of the '60s are the Kinks' "All Day ...

History of Rock: The 60's, Pt. 1 - WCBS FM 101

History of Rock: The 60's, Pt. 1 - WCBS FM 101 (1982) more music like this

by Various Artists

A 24-song collection slanted toward the lighter rock hits of the pioneering early '60s. Every track conjures fond memories, even songs by artists like Del Shannon, Curtis Lee, Kathy Young & the Innocents, and Rosie & the Originals, which have lost some of their original appeal. However, the Dreamlovers' original "When We Get Married," Dion's ...

The Essential Isley Brothers

The Essential Isley Brothers (2004) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

Try as companies might, a perfect anthology framing the famous family of funk still manages to elude even the most fickle of aficionados. While 2003's Ultimate Collection is an expansive look at the group's career, it most certainly isn't as thorough as 1999's outstanding Rhino box set, which is simply too rich to satisfy the curious or casual ...

Shout!

Shout! (1959) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

"Shout" is like a tent revival gone haywire, with the merest scraps of a song -- a groove and a few phrases -- igniting a soul explosion the likes of which had never been heard on record. The song was only a minor hit, but has been granted immortality for its exuberance and influence. The album of the same name, the Isley Brothers' full-length ...

A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield [Warner Bros.] (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

A fabulous assortment of artists from different areas of the rock genre give a glorifying tribute to Curtis Mayfield in a sparkling 17-song package. Stevie Winwood does a partying rendition of "It's All Right"; a version of "Let's Do It Again" is performed by Mayfield and the Repercussions that mimics the Staple Singers' original; Mayfield does ...

Smooth Sailin'

Smooth Sailin' (1987) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

This was the first album The Isley Brothers made after O'Kelly suffered a heart attack and died in 1986. It's both poignant and painful, because Ronnie demonstrates the vocal presence and soulful character that always made his ballads so vital. Angela Winbush, who later became Ronnie Isley's wife, served as background vocalist, co-composer, and ...

Baby Makin' Music (2006) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

Ronald and Ernie Isley might be a little too old to make babies -- to be perfectly clear, father them -- but it's evident they're not too old to make baby-making music. Impressively enough, Baby Makin' Music is their third strong album of the 2000s. A lot of younger artists in their prime can't claim such a thing. R. Kelly, who wrote and ...

I'll Be Home for Christmas (2007) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers' I'll Be Home for Christmas, like Patti LaBelle's Miss Patti's Christmas, was released on Def Soul Classics and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The two albums are both ten songs in length, feature many of the same musicians, and are based mostly on interpretations -- so they go hand-in-hand, whether the intention was ...

Ultimate Isley Brothers (2000) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

In effect, The Ultimate Isley Brothers is the definitive single-disc compilation of the Isleys' T-Neck years -- when they reinvented themselves for the '70s as a jam-happy funk-rock outfit. Still, there are a few extras -- the Isley/Jasper/Isley hit "Caravan of Love," which fits this material pretty well, and the old-school Isley classics "Shout ...

The Funk Box (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ...

Between the Sheets (1983) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

Compared to their past material, this album lacks the consistent mix of sultry ballads and funky dance numbers. There are really only two Isley Brothers' classics on this project: "Choosey Lover" and the title song "Between the Sheets." The former has a romantic flow and the latter is just shy of mid-tempo but not a bona fide ballad. When one ...

Mission to Please (1996) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

On their second album of the '90s, the Isley Brothers capitalize on the smooth love ballads epitomized by crooners like Babyface, Keith Sweat, and R. Kelly. Since all three of those artists were influenced by the Isleys' classic '70s records, they were willing to come on board to produce and co-write Mission to Please. The new blood reinvigorates ...

The Brothers: Isley (1969) more music like this

by The Isley Brothers

The late '60s and early '70s remain a favorite period in the Isley Brothers evolution. Ronald sung hard, and brothers O'Kelly & Rudolph supplied church-inspired backing whoops to his lead. The tunes had catchy titles and creative, rhyming lyrics. This recording is loaded with that rocking, "It's Your Thing" style. "The Blacker the Berry the ...

Smooth Grooves: Cruisin' Classics (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

As the title says, this volume of Smooth Grooves is devoted to songs that sound good while slowly cruising in a car. This means it's a little bit livelier in sections than certain editions of Smooth Grooves --- you have Bobby Womack's funky "Woman's Gotta Have It," Malo's Latin grooves on "Suavecito," the bubbling "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers -- ...

Motown Legends, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this

Of the label's seemingly endless budget-priced hits collections, the Motown Legends series ranks among the best, giving consumers exactly what they want: the smash hits which defined "The Sound of Young America" during the company's heyday. Each of this second volume's 11 tracks is a true classic, and although it's difficult and more than a little ...

The Isleys Live is one of the finest funk/soul live albums ever recorded. The first eight tracks come from club gigs in 1971 and 1972, while the last three are from a 1969 show at Yankee Stadium. The group's biggest and most identifiable hit, "It's Your Thing," is featured twice, each version extremely inspired. But the most interesting thing ...

Within seconds of listening to "Move Your Body," the opener to Eternal, the latest by the Isley Brothers, audiences will easily agree -- the forefathers of boudoir faire still have it. Forty years in the business have not chiseled away at the talented brothers: Ronald Isley's falsetto is unwavering and remains inimitable in 2001, when the R&B ...

Every ten years the Isley Brothers reinvented themselves and managed to snatch as many consumer dollars and generate enough chart action to remain contemporary. Go for Your Guns was a further attempt by the Isleys to broaden their fan base; earlier in the decade they redid many rock standards to expand from the R&B base they were mired in. The ...
