The Isley Brothers 3+3 (CD, Sony Music, 1973) ****
Genre: Soul
Places I remember: Fives (Leigh-on-sea)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Summer Breeze
Gear costume: That Lady
Active compensatory factors: This is the one that had those gigantic hits on it - That lady and Summer Breeze, but the rest of this album is great throughout. Plenty of different looks as a younger generation of Isleys mix with the veterans (hence the 3 plus 3 title for the album).

Ernie Isley and his guitar are featured to great effect and he's the star turn on the big hits, but it's a family affair.
This year, 1973, was a great year for music and the Isleys were a key contributor as they mixed rock and soul together for a unique blend.
Where do they all belong? I only have this and a greatest hits compilation in the soul category, but I feel that's enough.
