Isley Brothers

IBRO

Recorded much in the 1960's, including "Twist and shout"... but we're more interested in their early 1970's jazz-fusion phase. This gave singles like the super-slick wah-wah classic "That lady" and fusion classic "Summer breeze". Fouray into the disco field led to "Harvest for the world" and "Take me to the next phase". From this period we also particularly like "The Pride". Final song of the 1970's was international smash "It's a disco night (rock don't stop)".
