Last one, Love the One You're With.
Oh, that one.
Oh, that one.

I've always thought that the sentiment behind these lyrics is dubious in the extreme.

"If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" which was a frequent remark by musician Billy Preston.
Well, that's a surprise isn't it.

That's Steve Still's fault of course.
The Isleys are just doing their best with the material.

It is over.
It would have made a nice EP.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

The problem is the orginal is such an unlikable 70 coke anthem…
Oh, it's over!

This bonus track "Warpath" is an absolute sausage banger!

I'll give it ★★★★☆ because it's a bit off kilter in respects of the LP versions vs the obviously radio-friendly 7" edits.
Perhaps if they'd not rambled off (albeit in pleasantly, faintly psychedelic soul fashion so much) and included a couple more songs to take up the slack it would've got the 100% NY-OK, but ultimately the LP was a bit lopsided with only the last 2/3 picking up the pace.
Still, it's a super album anyone who gives it less that ★★★☆☆ is obviously a racist.
