 (12 Customer Reviews)
Originally released on T-Neck Records. Includes liner notes by Virginia Prescott.
Along the way to being a bridge throughout the history of R&B throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the Isley Brothers also directly helped shape facets of the genre along the way. Starting in the '70s, eldest Isley siblings Ronald, Rudolph, and the late O'Kelly carved out a soundtrack for silk-sheet relations along with fellow love lords Barry White and Marvin Gaye.
This collection hinges on Ronald Isley's creamy falsetto; it's easy to mistake him for Al Green, particularly against a background of swirling keyboards on "For the Love of You (Parts 1 & 2)" and the crying guitar of "Voyage to Atlantis." As usual, the Isleys include unlikely artistic interpretations (Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me," and Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze") that work superbly. The most memorable bedside listening comes from the thick-as-molasses beat, crooning vocals, and background grunting of "Between the Sheets," the quintessential jam that's influenced an army of contemporary R&B lotharios, including R. Kelly and Joe. LOVE SONGS proves the Isleys to be the masters at the art of the seductive song.

This is a grrreat compilation of some of the most romantic and smoothly executed, love songs on the planet. My personal favorites are "Hello" and "For the Love of YOU". But I'm an Isley Bros. fan, so I love um all! :D

Recorded between 1971 and 1985. Includes liner notes by John Sinclair.
Across the long span of their career, the Isley Brothers have shown themselves as adept at stirring romantic balladry as they are at generating funky grooves. FROM THE HEART proves the claim that the Isleys are masters of "baby-making music" by selecting 14 ballads and love songs from their catalog. Classic Isley slow jams like "Caravan of Love" and "Let's Fall in Love (Parts 1 & 2)" nest alongside soulful covers like Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay." The ideal soundtrack for a night of wine, candlelight, and silk ...

| | Best Of Blue Magic CD (1974)
Love Songs songs
$7.39
Blue Magic's sublime sophomore effort manages to retain the delicate beauty of their debut while summoning a more confident, robust approach to group harmony. The Magic of the Blue is above all a celebration of the human voice in all its myriad forms of expression. Whether transcending contrived ballads like "Three-Ring Circus" (a bland rewrite of the earlier hit "Sideshow") or soaring on the strength of up-tempo dance tunes like the excellent title cut, Blue Magic's harmonies are impeccable, showcased by arranger
In a perfect world, all of Blue Magic's '70s LPs would have been reissued on CD in the late '80s or '90s. But that didn't happen; when the 21st century arrived, most of the Philadelphia vocal group's '70s albums were out of print. However, various best-of packages were available on CD. The most comprehensive is The Best of Blue Magic: Soulful Spell, a superb 20-song collection that Rhino assembled ...

Love Songs music CDs
$18.95
AGAINST THE GRAIN is Little Rock Arkansas' best new rap group. Their debut CD, "OPERATION TAKEOVER," is their calling card and their mission. As the group name implies, they're taking music in a different direction. While some performers merely rap about their alledged 20-inch rims over sampled loops, AGAINST THE GRAIN has a sound that strikes instantly with aggressive energy. Yet, it has the realness to make you want to spin it time and time again.Against The Grain's sound is "sophisticated southern flavor," like Trick Daddy meets Quincy Jones. It makes for some spicy music with rap, raggea, r&b, rock n' roll, and funk all melded together into the best tasting gumbo you've ever heard. The ...
