Not bad not great.......2007-03-13

"Between the sheets" By Fourplay was an okay album. Some songs were okay. Most of the vocals were on point. I wasn't really feeling the Isley Brothers Remake. Fourplay skipped the whole 3rd verse. The instrumental sounded nothing like the original from the Isley Brothers. That was the only good thing about the song. The original instrumental by the Isley Brothers gets annoying because it is oversampled.It has been sampled at least 5 times: 1. "Big Poppa" Notorious BIG 2. "Luxurious" Gwen Stefani 3. "Funkdafied" Da Brat 4. "Summer Wit Miami" Jim Jones 5. "One of those days" Whitney Houston. That is too much. Anyways, like I said this album is okay. I think it could have been better

Fantastic Fourplay !!!.......2006-08-17

I just can't add much more to the fantastic reviews for this album. I have had this album for years and have always enjoyed the music. And to top this last night I was in the concert Live in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia with FOURPLAY and had an autographed CD 'X" (their latest release) to boot!!! And it was a blast when meeting them individually after the concert... A real honour to meet and entertained by these legends of Jazz !!! Absolutely Fantastic !!!

Fabulous Foreplay!!!.......2005-12-29

I own three CD's by these guys and all of them are good, but the songs Chant, Monterey, Between The Sheets, Flying East, and Amoroso make this fabulous Foreplay!!! Their isn't a bad song on this one. Their music is relaxing and not boring. These fellows are excellent musicians!!!

"POWERFUL ATTRACTION TO THE JAZZ SCENE".......2005-09-18

WHAT CAN I SAY OTHER THAN THE "BETWEEN THE SHEETS" CD IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND ATTRACTION FOR THE BEDROOM AND FOR A LONG-DRIVE... NATHAN EAST AND THE REST OF YOU CREATED A GREAT SET OF MUSIC ONCE AGAIN, AND SO WE ALL THANK-YOU... THE RHYTHYM AND THE BEAT ARE SO ELEGANT, EACH SONG SHOULD HAVE MADE IT TO "NUMBER ONE"...TO ALL OF THE FELLOW MUSICIANS THAT HAVE HEARD THIS ONE, EAT YOUR HEART-OUT BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT ALBUMS BY "FOURPLAY" TO COME....
THE Q.......

What Can I Say? It's a Classic!.......2005-08-30

The Isley Brothers hae been putting out quality, classic material for several decades, and this album, which came out in 1983 is still on hit today! Of course, there is the silky smooth R&B classic, "Between The Sheets" that rapper/producers like Jermaine Dupri sampled on Da Brat's "FunkDaFied," and like Sean "Puffy" Combs did on Biggie's "Big Poppa." But this album is more than just the title cut. There is a nice mixture of styles, like the fast paced party funk tracks like "Way Out Love" and "Rock You Good" make you want to dance or lowride with the top down. There are other silky tracks here as well, like the slow tempo "Choosy Lover" and "Touch Me." The Isley's vocals are among the best of R&B past and present, and they showcast them extremely well through the album! The mid-tempo track "I Need Your Body," is smooth and fun to just chill to! Overall, the album is just pure acoustic and lyrical fun (feel good music!). This music is also a good romantic mood setter to play when on a date!

Some Way Out Music!.......2005-01-17

After releasing some lackluster albums in the early 80's (The Real Deal, Inside You and Grand Slam) the Isleys came back with this, their last #1 R&B Album for 18 years. The best thing about this album is that everyone in the group is front and center. Rudolph's and O'Kelly's backing vocals are the best they've ever been. Too often in the previous albums they would be drowned out by the burning funk cooked up by the younger 3. This is a nice change as the Isleys once again sounded like a vocal group while still being a band. The first side is all love songs. "Choosey Lover" and "I Need Your Body" are the best of the bunch, the latter just being just short of perfection as Ronald provides stellar lead vocals, Chris goes into Barry White mode as he does a little "rap" at the end, Ernie's guitar and the backing vocals convey the urgency of the song and Marvin's bass keeps rumbling along as usual. But the second side is filled with killer funk and protest songs. "Slow Down Children" and "Ballad For The Fallen Soldier" burn with as much anger as "Fight The Power", "The Pride" and "Livin' In The Life". They cap things off with the rockin' instrumental "Rock You Good".

This album was the most cohesive the Isleys put out in their 3+3 era. It seemed they had finally recaptured their sound and updated it for the 80's. Too bad this was to be their swan song as the younger 3 bolted to form Isely Jasper Isley. This album only makes you wonder what could have been.

My favorite Isley Brothers album.......2004-06-13

This album is a true classic. I don't even know where to start. I was turned on to this LP after hearing Notorious BIG's "Big Poppa", which sampled the title track "Between the Sheets". Since "Between the Sheets" was great I decided to get the whole album. I was amazed.

Between the Sheets is the perfect title for this music because it's most convinient when you're in the mood to get "Between the Sheets". Though every track on this album is great, my favorites have to be "Choosey Lover", "I Need Your Body", and "Ballad For the Fallen Soldier". Those are the ones I play most often. Great production along with great vocals by lead vocalist Ron Isley make this album a masterpiece. If you're a hip-hop fan like myself then you'll find that many artists have used samples from this album. Nas used "Choosey Lover" for his "Street Dreams Remix", Jay-Z & Too Short used "Ballad For the Fallen Soldier" for "A Week Ago", and of course BIG used "Between the Sheets" for "Big Poppa". The latter of those was more along the lines of copying/biting rather than actual sampling. I blame that on Puffy.

I recommend you purchase this album as soon as possible. $9.98 is an excellent price for an album this good. It's easily worth 5 times that much. This, in my opinion is the Isley Brothers greatest work. You'll enjoy this much more than one of their collection albums.

First experience.......2003-08-29

This album came out when I was bout 15/16 years old. Side one of this cd is incredible. I still love it after all these years (I'm 35 now)and have good memories everytime I hear it. It needs to be rated better than 5.

Too Bad I can't rate this more than five stars.......2002-03-27

The first side of this album is tight!!! I still enjoy it after so many years. This is a romantic masterpiece and a must buy album.

3 classic albums for one low price...Wow!.......2004-09-29

If you're a fan of classic soul music then you should not hesitate to purchase this. $24 is an excellent bargain for three quality albums. I purchased this box set about 6 months ago and I must say that all three discs get spins on my cd changer constantly. The Isley Brothers show versatility on these three LPs. It goes from upbeat cuts like "Fight the Power" to mellow tracks like "Footsteps in the Dark" then to soulful classics like "For the Love of You Pts. 1&2". Out of all three discs I have to say that Between the Sheets is my favorite. It's the perfect album for setting the mood on a special night. I recommend you buy this box set now.

This is a MUST buy!!!!.......2001-06-24

If you like the Isley Brothers, then I feel you should spend the amount asked and buy the CD set. This is one of the best compilations I have heard in a long time. Also I recomend it if you are into hip-hop or rap music. Many of the Isley Brothers original music are used in some of todays hip-hop songs. Such songs have been "Today was a good day" Ice cube was originally "Footsteps in the Dark". Another example is "Between the sheets" was used in a Notorious BIG song. So if you are a fan of either hip hop or old school. Buy this CD!!!!!!!!

Customer Reviews:

A waste of a perfectly good album!.......2005-10-13

Sadly, The 411 were dropped last year after their third single "Teardrops" missed the top 20. It'a shame, because this album is fantastic. Most reviews I've read say the album is just full of RnB filler and crap tracks, but they obviously haven't listened to it as closely as I have.
The 411 were onto great things with their first two singles - On My Knees & Dumb which both debuted in the top 5. Teardrops missed the top 20, charting at No.23, and then the album didn't make the top 40. It was sad, but the girls parted ways with their record company late last year. This album has been wasted, there were so many potential singles. Carolyn, Suzie, Tisha & Tanya were 4 talented girls and this album shows that.
Track rundown:

1. On My Knees (5/5)
The song that started off the girls' careers! This song just absolutely never gets boring even a year after it was released. It's funky, upbeat RnB with a great message for girls in it. Ghostface Killah makes an appearance, doing a rap in the middle of the song. This song is very catchy and I can still listen to it now.
2. Teardrops (4/5)
This song was wrong to release 3rd. It's a great song, but it isn't single material. If you listen to it too much it gets boring - maybe this is why it flopped, too much airplay. But nonetheless, it is a good song - the girls are singing about a cheating boyfriend and how they're repaying him for all the bad things he did. Another RnBish song, this has a catchy chorus.
3. China Girl (5+++/5)
This song was just screaming out at me to be released. They should have released this as the 3rd single, it would be a sure fire top 5 single. This song is a beautiful ballad, with Chinese inspired music, and amazing vocals from the girls. The song is about a girl who is missing and everybody misses her. This is my favourite song on the album and the standout track by far.
4. Chance (4/5)
This song has the most amazing harmonies ever. The girls sing the first bit of the song acappella and their voices blend really well. This song does get slightly irritating after awhile though, hence my lower rating. But this song is really catchy, and upbeat.
5. My Friend (3.5/5)
A short song, this is only 2 minutes and 44 seconds long. It's about two friends of the girls who had bad things happen to them and they're singing about how they're their friend till the end. It's catchy, but the song has stupid lyrics and a ridiculous rap in the middle.
6. Between The Sheets (5/5)
The title track of the album doesn't disappoint. This song is a slower RnB jam with a midtempo beat. It's about making up with your partner after a fight. The girls' vocals work well on this song, and it doesn't get boring.
7. Dumb (5/5)
Their second single, and UK residents may remember this song from an advertising campaign. This song is so unbelievably catchy - the chorus gets permanently stuck in your head. The lyrics are ridiculous but they work - "Dumb diggy di di dumb"... or something. Another song that doesn't ever get boring.
8. Forever Begins (4/5)
Is it just me or is this song about suicide? I won't go onto it, but this song is probably the poppiest on the album. It has strong harmonies from the girls on the chorus and catchy verses. A solid effort.
9. Jumpin (5/5)
This song is so fun! It's very gospelly and positive with the girls singing about what makes them happy - you will be singing along by the middle of the song, I garauntee you. Very upbeat and happy.
10. What If It Was You? (3/5)
This is probably the worst song on the album - it's RnB by numbers that just doesn't work. The girls are singing about homeless people, and to think about being in their position. I just find it bland and lifeless.
11. I Don't Want To Talk About It (4/5)
Another RnB song, but much better then the previous track. This track is about a cheating boyfriend. This song has 5 million elements to it, and they're all over the place. It's cool though, I love the rain at the beginning and end, and the chorus is catchy.
12. Can't Fight Love (5/5)
A great way to end the album! The second of only two ballads on the album, this is absolutely gorgeous. The girls sing with a solo instrument and this song has no beat. The girls show off their voices and sing soulfully about love. I love it.

My top 5 tracks:
01. China Girl
02. Jumpin
03. Can't Fight Love
04. Between The Sheets
05. On My Knees

Overall, a solid effort and an album that was wasted by the girls losing their record deal. Check it out if you liked their singles or you would like to check out an album filled with RnB gems.

411 offer more Brit-pop.......2005-05-20

Yet another British girl band is introduced to the music scene with disposable beats and temporary hits. The 411 offer a midway solution to the overtly pop stylings of Girls Aloud and the street-heavy resonance of Mis-Teeq. The quartet offer pop favorites with an R&B tint. The lead single "On My Knees," alongside its unique video, launched them onto the scene with one catchy hook. Then came the Destiny's Child-reject "Dumb," proffering a little dance floor groove. The third single, "Teardrops," segues in friendly territory of mystery trip hop and lean balladry. These three tracks make for a good enough treat for people who are not adverse to barefaced pop of Old Compton appeal.
Other tracks on Between The Sheets include the baby reggae of "Jumpin'," the abundantly wordy "Chance," and the melodically graceful "Forever Begins," which should be their next single if they are under the right management.
There is always room for some more pop, even when it is a subject of hype's residue. Sometimes acts that are created to capitalize on a phenomenon deliver great moments. Just look at Mandy Moore.

She is Great!.......2005-09-21

Ok, I can not stop playing this cd. I love her voice!

My favorite song on this cd out of all of them is "Loving Arms" I play it over and over. She puts so much soul into her music.

What a great singer!.......2004-12-09

I think Millie J. is one of the best soulsingers ever. She made many lovely albums for the Spring-label in the seventies and early eighties. The best ballads from these albums you'll find on 'Between the sheets'. I especially love 'Summer', 'I feel like walkin' in the rain', 'Hurts so good' and '(If loving you is wrong) I don't wanna be right'. Buy this one, you won't be sorry!
Millie made some great music after her stay with Spring Records. Many of the best songs form this period you'll find on the cd 'Very best of Millie Jackson'.

Miliie Jackson is the best female artist I know. All I listen is Millie J.People are so pretending and want to be in so-call modern day style :without realizing that these things have been happening a long time ago.Millie is trully the absolute best.I first heard her from my father and bought All her albums THREE times;my friends steal them and all sorts of things. Millie Jackson has and will always be my #1,first class,first choice,first in all where she is concern.It feels as if I know her personally and would give anything to watch a video of her***

Smooth jazz is a sub-genre that has its appeal and its turn-offs too. The Fantasy Band, Chuck Loeb and Angela Bofill are all great but the rest of this CD is mediocre to just-about-average.
