Isley brothers get into something


Get Into Something is the eighth album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint on March 8, 1970. Although the album itself did not chart, it includes six songs that appeared in the top 30 of the Billboard R&B chart between late 1969 and early 1971 (most of which dented the lower reaches of the Pop chart as well): the title track, "Bless Your Heart", the horn and drum-driven "Keep On Doin'", which has won multiple awards including the Mid-Atlantic Soul Music award. (which inspired the instrumental cover by The JBs later that year under the title "The Grunt"), "Freedom", "Girls Will Be Girls", and "If He Can You Can".

The album's title track includes a James Brown styled "give the drummer some" breakdown that was highly influential on the New York b-boy dance scene (later known as break dancing). The drum break, along with the LP's scarcity, has made this the most valuable and highly sought after Isley Brothers album among vinyl record collectors. It was remastered and expanded for inclusion in the 2015 released CD box set "The RCA Victor & T-Neck Album Masters, 1959-1983".
