4.0 out of 5 stars There is a point, March 14, 2003

This is a best-of CD for the Isleys' Motown years during the second half of the 60s. If you want their earlier or later stuff, you won't find it here because this is made up of only their Motown product. With that in mind, enjoy these GREAT songs from the Detroit hit factory. It includes the immortal "This Old Heart Of Mine", their bumping version of Kim Weston's "Take me In Your Arms" (an R n B hit for them) and "I Guess I'll Always Love You" and "Behind A Painted Smile", the former a bigger hit in Britain than here, the latter never an a-side in the US. These songs are great 60s Soul music, and while their tenure at Motown is not as renowned as other periods in their recording history, nor are they a group one automatically thinks of regarding classic Motown, they have that classic sound (courtesy of the studio's stable of writers, producers and musicians, the Funk Brothers).

The Isley Brothers had three distinct careers. The early stuff "Shout" and "Twist and Shout" on Wand. Then came the Motown years "This Old Heart of Mine". Finally the later years, when the three member group became a six member group. Well this CD traces the middle period and the Motown years. Obscure hits like "Take Some Time out for Love" and "Just Ain't Enough Love" join "I Guess I'll Always Love You" and make this a truly fine collection.
