5.0 out of 5 stars 3+3= CLASSIC, July 15, 2000

This was the Isley Brothers introduction to the seventies. Breaking free from Motown, adding brother Ernie, cousins Marvin Isley and Chris Jasper and setting up shop in New Jersey, the Isleys begun to chart their course for the new decade. With this album they decided to do their "own thing," and come up with some of the best soul/funk/rock put together on wax. They blend funk and rock with "Who's that Lady," and "Sunshine." They take "Don't Let Me be Lonely Tonight," a classic in its original James Taylor version, and make it a classic "quiet storm" jam. They also do the same with Seals and Crofts "Summer Breeze." This was the first of several classic Isley Brothers albums of the seventies, and moved them from being just another male vocal group that used to be on the Motown label, to one of the tightest, funkiest, and most versatile soul bands of the decade. "3+3" is the first of many great Isley Brothers albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found "Summer Breeze!", April 16, 1999

If you have a shelf of music void of the Isley Brothers anything, you're missing out! My Isley Borthers collection is complete now that I have "Summer Breeze", the hypnotizing song that plays in my mind each time the sun shines. It takes me back to happy days of the 70's filled with cookouts, afros and of course, Isley eight tracks. The CD itself is wonderful, but Summer Breeze made me a believer. It's one of my all-time favorites, right behind "Voyage to Atlantis." Get the CD now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Isleys! R&B doesn't get much better than this!!, July 5, 1998

Summer Breeze.. I was hypnotized by this song. In my world, it was as though the Seals & Crofts written original classic version never existed. The Brothers made this their own. "Who's that lady cooks, and Don't let me be lonely is a love ballad for the ages. This and other Isley albums are on my CD "re-buy" list. They have too many good songs to have a Best Of collection do it justice.
