The driving beats, happy rhythm and playing around with the (then) new synthesized sounds at the time, is what makes the sound, while the vocals are the falsetto that the Isley are so well known for. Okay, there was disco too, but funk was the father of disco (yeah, I'm ready for that argument). This album is a great addition to the well-rounded collection I know you desire to have. While you might not know the artist's name, you'll certainly feel at-home with the familiar sounds of funk. funk. Curtis Mayfield isn't so much a household name (although he was much better known in the 70's), but he is one of the definitive sounds of the music that was the 70's.
