ALBUM: Superstar Series Volume 6
MVC Rating: 3.5/$$
Most of us of my generation (age 59) have heard, intentionally or accidentally, the Isley Brothers.
Their hits are many, having put out radio friendly soul for decades.
I like the genre: the Stylistics, O’Jays and the Delfonics are a few groups I have enjoyed and have some mostly on CD.
This is a Motown Superstar Series it says on the cover, Volume 6.
Really? Volume 6? I don’t even have a Volume 6 number of songs on the Beatles. Given that this has 10 songs on it, does that mean there are — at least — 60 greatest hits?
Even if it is Volume 6, they left some good ones for this record. There’s: “This Old Heart of Mine,” “I Hear a Symphony,” and “Take Me In your Arms (Rock Me Little Baby).
A fun fact: A young Jimi Hendrix became a member and toured with the Isley Brothers in 1964-65. He recorded a few singles with the group including ‘Testify,’ — not on this album.
“I Hear a Symphony” — One of my favorites!
