The Isley Brothers.

Formed in the early to mid 50's the Isley Brothers have been producing superb soul music for half a century.
From their first hit 'Shout' to the present day with; Down Low (Nobody Has to Know) - R. Kelly featuring the Isley Brothers.

Tracks like their cover of The Topnotes - 'Twist And Shout' (later to be covered by the Beatles).
This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)
Behind A Painted Smile
That Lady
Harvest For The World.

The Isley Brothers are great--if you like slow, love making r&b you'll like their Beautiful Ballads compilation cd-I think that it's a staple even for those who aren't into that type of music. Right on

I'm not really into a lot of slow R&B so i dont know a lot of their songs, but of the ones ive heard my favorites probably "Busted"
