Album: Harvest for the World
Artist: The Isley Brothers
{$The Isley Brothers} came with love, funk and the too seldom mentioned socially consicous songs; this album is titled after one of those social gems. However, {&"Who Loves You Better,"} with its disco flair, was the album's first release. {$Ronald Isley}'s aggressive delivery blends nicely with {$Ernie Isley}'s tantalizing guitar solos. It was a top three single on the {~Billboard} R&B charts. The title track is a tour de force. Preceded by a mellow intro in which {$Ronald Isley}'s earnest plea rings with urgency, the timeless lyric and festive rhythm make {&"Harvest for the World"} a welcomed anthem for all the people of the world. It cracked the {~Billboard} R&B top ten at number nine. {$Ronald Isley} changes his tone on some of these compositions by adding a roughness to his still smooth tenor, like on the relentless jams {&"People of Today"} and {&"You Wanna Stay Down."} Then there are those priceless ballads like {&"Let Me Know"} and {&"Let Me Down Easy"}; {$Ronald Isley} sweetly caresses the lyric with compassion and agility. Neither of these two selections were releases but remain staples on R&B radio. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide
