40 Year Itch : Everybody's Got To Groove

[Purchase]

 From August of 1974 comes the Isley Brothers's follow-up to their breakthrough smash, 3 + 3. Live It Up is full of the kind of sweaty funk --and Ernie Isley synthesized guitar solos --that make it a great soundtrack to your Summer even 40 years later. 

The album was ranked the best of 1974 in the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Poll by critic
