Review: The Start Of Something Wonderful - What a perfect title for an album that would forever change the band, it's fans and music in general. The Isley brothers had begun in the late 1950's as 3 brothers with a backing band which, at times, included some of the greatest musicians every to pick up an instrument, Jimi Hendrix on guitar and Chuck Rainey on bass just to name two. The had started their own record label, T-Neck, and established themselves as both great business men and a force to be reckoned with as an influence to artist both here and abroad. But with the release of this album, they would truly become a band in the truest since and change the landscape of music by introducing a type of R&B, funk, rock, soul & classical music blend that had not really been heard up to that point. This album saw younger brothers Ernie and Marvin Isley along with brother in law Chris Jasper join the original line up of Rudolph, Ronald and O'Kelly Isley to form the 3 + 3 lineup. The younger 3 had played on earlier albums but were not credited as being a part of the group itself. What they would do in the next decade, with the revamped lineup, was redefine how the music world saw and appreciated R&B music by releasing genre crossing albums filled with soulful ballads, hard rocking anthems and gut bucket funk that made the whole world stand up and take notice. This is what I would call the beginning of their "Classic" period where the music they would release would forever define them and make them one of the most influential bands in music history. They had been building momentum towards this move as they were trying to find their overall identity and it was in this time period that they would become a band that would transcend all barriers and produce songs of a style & character that the music world was truly ready for. This is a fun and wonderful album from a wonderfully creative time in music. And these songs have stood the test of time and are as fresh today as they were over 40 years ago when first released. As for the songs on this album, there are the classics penned by the younger of the 3 members like "That Lady", "If You Were There" and "What It Comes Down To". Also, their reinterpertations of classics penned by the likes of James Taylor, Tom Johnston and Seals & Crofts are included to round out a wonderful selection of songs which are the perfect canvas for their new found creativity. Every great band has a certain moment in time where everything just "clicks" and this album was that time for The Isley Brothers. Review: funky soul! lives on . - Funk and soul rule over rap. And this band still has big hit cds as they lay down sweet soul and funk with greatness. This one had the monster hit on it 'that lady' that has a cool guitar sound. One of the bros recently passed and it was one of the younger guys. But this music stands heads above what is done today from anyone. It has style and power. They even do a funky version of 'listen to the music' the doobie brothers classic. Back in the day even rockers could really relate to bands like this one who made real music. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0012GMUU4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,985 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #591 in Funk (CDs & Vinyl) #1,561 in Soul (CDs & Vinyl) #19,146 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (419) | | Date First Available | January 12, 2008 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2008 | | Product Dimensions | 5.9 x 0.4 x 4.9 inches; 6.4 ounces | | Run time | 42 minutes | ## Images ![3 + 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZPxSnfx0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Start Of Something Wonderful *by S***R on September 28, 2011* What a perfect title for an album that would forever change the band, it's fans and music in general.
