This collection of vintage old-school jams highlights the smoochier side of the Isley Brothers' output with a seductive list of songs for every romantic situation. Starting out innocently enough with the pastoral "For the Love of You," the set progresses rapidly to the smoothly persuasive "Between the Sheets," the frank "I Need Your Body," and the down-and-dirty "Sensuality (Part 1 & 2)." The vocal and instrumental arrangements are impeccable, the atmosphere satin-sheet romantic.
