Ian Dewhirst Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Looking at the "My Love Is Your Love" thread suddenly reminded me of another monstrous Isley Brothers stomper which I've NEVER ever heard out anywhere. Has anyone else heard this played out or did too many people think it was a pale cover of the Marvin Gaye tune? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chris L Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Heard it played at Bury Town Hall about 9 years ago, along with Edwin Starr - Weakness is you and Marv Johnson - I miss you. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hi Ian Funny how one record leads to another, and how one record, which really gets to you opens your ears to a particular artist(s) voice, who, hitherto that point in time hadn't even featured on your radar. This Isley Brothers thread(s) being the perfect example - well, in my case anyway. If that makes sense. Funny old world innit. Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

OK, so that's one play. I mean, unless I'm nuts, doesn't this sound like a dead cert? Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian D Always a good reaction on the dancefloor when played in Oz. Been playing it consistently for over 20 years off the Australian demo .... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Have the same Demo, Lovely :-) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ik001 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Play this out all the time. Have sold one or two as well, in fact got one up at the moment. Always loved it since hearing it on a compilation tape about 1974. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Parker Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I played this at North wings about 5 years ago (and a fair few times since),. I remember Steve Brown playing it a few months before, at the same venue. U.S. Demo here, a superb record, thankfully not hammered weekly Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mark Tobin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi ian. I used to play this at The North Cheshire in the 90's. Always packed the floor, as did 'Why when love is gone'. Two great dancers. Mark Tobin 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steviehay Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Playing this at Movin on a Groove demo and issue in the box but cannot believe you haven't heard this played out recently as it's not rare Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Smudger Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Another great Norman Whitfield recording but personally i prefer the Temptations version on Puzzle people Norman also recorded it on Marvin probably at the same session as Grapevine so i would have thought Isleys was the original Edited May 22, 2016 by smudger Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
The Yank Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Gladys Knight and the Pips did a great version on their "Feelin' Bluesy" album. The Isleys version of "That's The Way.." was recorded between August 26 and August 30th, 1966. Marvin's version was recorded between Nov. 30th, 1968- Dec. 6, 1968.

25miles Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 you could remedy that frank............... by playing it out yourself it's always had the odd play as far as I can remember?? but tracks like this do get neglected/forgotten/passed over for mega-money/mega-rare records !!! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

We came over from Burnley for the first one and came every month for the first year or so. For some reason I remember you played Oh My Darling as the last record on that first night.
