POLL the Love of You: Best Song on Isley Brothers' Love Songs

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Just tracked this down on Spotify the other night. So much of what's on this is what I love most about 70s Isley Brothers -- creamy production chock full of Rhodes and Moogs, searing Ernie solos and Ronnie singing his ass off. But which song is the best?

For my part, I have a hard time not saying "Footsteps in the Dark" -- the long version really brings that loping groove and Ronnie's lead to the fore. But it's hard to choose. "For the Love of You," "Make Me Say It Again Girl," "Voyage to Atlantis" -- any of these would suffice.

Also, I had always thought that Marvin Gaye was aping Barry White on I Want You -- but the more I hear these tracks, I think he (along w Leon Ware) was listening to these records.

I's gonna be sad that no one stepped up for this poll...

Whoops! I missed this. "Footsteps in the Dark" for me too.
