Legacy's Rhythm And Soul Series: Beautiful Ballads
About This Album
Beautiful Ballads, released in 1994, contains 70 minutes of the Isley Brothers' slow and romantic singles released between 1971 and 1983, adding Isley/Jasper/Isley's number one 1985 R&B hit "Caravan of Love." Most of what is here is undeniably classic, but no ballad-centric Isleys disc is complete without "Between the Sheets" or "Sensuality" -- two omissions that would be justifiable deal breakers. The inclusion of lesser material, like "You're the Key to My Heart" and their cover of Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me" (neither one of which charted), is pretty puzzling. The disc was repackaged and retitled in 2009, just in time for Valentine's Day, and made part of Legacy's From the Heart series. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
I agree completely with this reviewer..."Sensuality" is their best ballad and my all time favorite soul ballad. Why it was omitted from that collection is a mystery.
Isley brothers inspired me and specially Ernie with his guitar. my nine year old daughter is ready now for this music. I'll give her more oportunity from these guys as well as others. I pray and know she will be special to others with her singing talent. Look out for her-Kintana***** in the future.
