Got The Isley Brothers' 3+3 on at the minute and it's doing the trick, so more albums along these lines if you would. Many thanks.

Only own 'The Greatest'. It's brilliant.

- Oh fuck Arthur Alexander is the best
  
  What a voice. What a songwriter. That collection is in my TOP TEN for sure. Everyone should get it.
  High five to you, sir.

- Amazing record
  
  Fairly convinced that Move On Up is the best song ever written.
  
  Anything else I should be listening to, based on this?

Isaac Hayes is the daddy

Hot Buttered Soul, Black Moses and Shaft are all must-haves.

Also, I just bought Al Green - Let's Stay Together, and that's a belter too.

- Bit late pointing this out, but you can get Let's Stay Together with three other albums for the same kinda price
