Love the lyrics to Harvest For The World. It's so ideologically hopeful. Never heard an Isley Brothers song I didn't like but Voyage To Atlantis has my heart.

Ernie Isley is a seriously under-appreciated musician. He played drums on so many classic Isleys tracks, and, in addition to his more rock style playing, he was a master of funk guitar.

Another unsung guitarist is Tony Maiden of Rufus. Prince named Maiden as one of his biggest guitar influences.

"It's Our Thing" is such a great record! It's even more amazing when put into context that they had to reinvent themselves and the band for a younger audience. In doing so, they knocked it out of the park with this LP and a few years later, struck gold with "3+3."
