Groove with You...Live

Groove with You...Live

â€œThe Great Lost Isley Brothers Albumâ€ is coming to CD from Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records! In 1980, Ronald, Rudolph, Oâ€™Kelly, Ernie and Marvin Isley and Chris Jasper were riding high with their electrifying fusion of rock, funk and soul. After having transformed in 1973 from a three-man vocal group to a self-contained six-man band, The Isleys cranked out hit after hit: original powerhouses like â€œThat Lady,â€ â€œFight the Power,â€ and â€œFor the Love of You,â€ and dramatic covers of pop songs introduced by Seals and Crofts, Carole King, and Todd Rundgren. â€œDonâ€™t Say Goodnight (Itâ€™s Time for Love)â€ had given the Isleys their longest stay atop the R&B charts since 1969â€™s â€œItâ€™s Your Thing,â€ and savoring its success, they decided to follow in the footsteps of The Commodores, Parliament, and Earth Wind & Fire to record a live album. Rather than bring a mobile truck to a concert venue, however, The Isley Brothers chose to cut Groove with Youâ€¦Live! at Bearsville Sound Studio in Woodstock, New York. The resulting recordings had all of the incendiary thrills of a live performance, but with pristine studio fidelity. The band overdubbed an audienceâ€™s frenzied reception and the energetic introduction of MC â€œGorgeousâ€ George Odell to create an in-studio live album as captivating as the real thing. It was presented to CBS for release on the bandâ€™s T-Neck imprint, but the label opted to wait for an original studio record. Groove with Youâ€¦Live! was shelved. Fast forward to 2015, and the Bearsville sessions were remixed, sans crowd ambiance, for inclusion as one disc of a massive Isleys CD box set. Later that year, Groove with Youâ€¦Live! was restored and released in its originally-intended â€œliveâ€ version on limited edition vinyl. Now, this sizzling, swooning and immersive double-album document of The Isleys at the peak of their powers comes to CD for the very first time as The Isley Brothers originally intended it! Featuring classic hits like â€œTake Me to the Next Phase,â€ â€œSummer Breeze,â€ and â€œLivinâ€™ in the Life,â€ Groove with Youâ€¦Live! has been remastered by Mark Wilder and Chris Le Monde and features new liner notes from The Second Discâ€™s Joe Marchese with quotes from Ernie Isley and Chris Jasper. This must-have for fans of R&B, soul, funk and rock will, without a doubt, make you want to shout!
