| | Isley Brothers It's Your Thing CD Isley Brothers Discography of CDs
Sony Special Products' It's Your Thing collects a bunch of highlights from the Isley Brothers' classic recordings for T-Neck. Although it's simply a haphazard collection of hits and highlights from their various albums, their records of the era were so strong, they can be rearranged in any form and the end result will be quite listenable -- as this proves. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Features 10 tracks including these top-selling hits 'It's Your Thing', 'Fight The Power' and 'Hello It's Me'. Collectables. 2004.
A very important album for the Isley Brothers, 1969's It's Our Thing found Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph Isley reviving their T-Neck label and marked the beginning of their association with Buddah (where they would remain until moving T-Neck to Epic/CBS in 1973). Creatively, this excellent LP put the siblings in the driver's seat -- they did all of the producing and songwriting themselves -- and they enjoyed the type of artistic freedom that they could only dream about when they were with Tamla/Motown from 1965-1968. At Tamla/Motown, Berry Gordy's team of producers and songwriters called the shots, but at T-Neck/Buddah, the Isleys' own vision was allowed to flourish. And that creative freedom made It's Our Thing a commercial triumph as well as an artistic one. The funky title track soared to number two on the R&B charts, and equally invigorating gems like "Give the Women What They Want" and "I Know Who You Been Socking It To" also went down in history as soul classics. Nor are tough, gritty album tracks like "He's Got Your Love" and "I Must Be Losing My Touch" anything to complain about. It's Our Thing made it clear that Tamla/Motown's loss was Buddah's gain. ~ Alex Henderson

It's Your Thing album
 $13.05   
This expansive compilation focuses on a series of disco songs released on theT.K. Records label, most of which date from the mid- to late '70s. Despite the seemingly limiting "disco" tag, The Best of T.K. Disco presents a nicely diverse cross section of material from this genre: Indeed, the music covers everything from the lush, almost symphonic Euro-disco of Beautiful Bend's "That's the Feeling" to the earthy, bass-driven funk stylings of Uncle Louie's "Full Tilt Boogie." Along the way, it unearths plenty of lesser-known disco tunes that will delight hardcore fans ...

It's Your Thing songs
$11.69 
Anita Baker first garnered a big audience in 1986 with her second record, RAPTURE. A critical favorite with a uniquely raspy, jazz-like expressionistic singing style, she scored a major pop and R&B hit with "Sweet Love." From that initial success, Baker carved her own niche somewhere between deep soul and smooth jazz. After a few more albums she decided to concentrate her passion on her family.
Following nearly a decade's hiatus, Baker returns to the recording studio with 2004's MY EVERYTHING, and, happily, very little has changed. She hasn't tinkered one bit with the sound that made her a beloved singer, emerging with a record both comforting and enrapturing. "You're My Everything" contains lyrics straight out of a WWII-era torch song, and a vibe that would have fit snugly on one of her first few outings. Although backed by a driving saxophone on the energetic gospel/blues number "I Can't Sleep," Baker fills much of MY EVERYTHING with sweet love songs. She brings it all together on the closing track, "Men in My Life," a tribute to her husband and two young boys.

| | Jon B Stronger Everyday CD (2004)
It's Your Thing album
$11.49
From the first track, "Everytime," where the always-unpredictable rapper Dirt McGirt lets loose, Jon B. reveals a sound that is both harder and smoother. On his first three efforts, B.'s best moments were when he molded '70s funk into his own modern take on urban R&B. STRONGER EVERYDAY finds a sweet soul groove and hangs in there for five alluringly sensual tracks before switching into a hip-hop-inspired style, and these tracks include guest shots from Scarface and Tupac (B. worked with the legendary rapper before his death). Whether he's gliding along a mellow tune or working an up-tempo beat, Jon B. ...
| | Moments Love On A Two-Way Street CD (2005)
It's Your Thing CD music
$7.89
This particular Love on a Two-Way Street is a ten-track compilation that features some of the Moments' most popular singles released from 1969 through 1976, including the title track, "If I Didn't Care," "Sexy Mama," "All I Have," and "I Do" -- all of which reached the Top Ten of the Black Singles chart. Several other sets -- such as Rhino's 18-track The Best of the Moments: Love on a Two-Way Street and Castle's two-disc Love on a Two-Way Street -- are more thorough and easier to recommend, but this is a cheap way to obtain some of the sweetest ballads of the era. [Note: The same disc was released with different artwork by Collectables in 2005.] ~ Andy Kellman

| | Lootpack Soundpieces: Da Antidote! CD (1999)
It's Your Thing music CDs
$14.05 
Peanut Butter Wolf's Stone's Throw label has become synonymous with quality in hip-hop's underground. For Wolf, combining his production skills with the talents of such mic manipulators as Rasco was nothing short of a dream come true. He made the dream brighter by adding Likwit crew collaborators and underground heroes Lootpack onto the roster. Thanks in part to the rock-solid foundation of chunky beats laid down by group member Mad Lib, SOUNDPIECES: DA ANTIDOTE is certainly one of the best indie hip-hop releases of the decade.
"Long Awaited" is the strongest cut on an album that also features the verbal chin-checking of underground heroes ...
