The Brothers: Isley is the seventh album released by
The Isley Brothers on their own
T-Neck label on October 18, 1969.[2] After years with other labels and fresh off the success of the It's Our Thing (1969) album, which included the hit title track, "
It's Your Thing", the Isley Brothers celebrated their newfound independence by releasing another new album that year with this LP. The album yielded the
Billboard Top 40 pop hit, "
I Turned You On"[3] and subsequent charters, "Was It Good to You?" and "Black Berries". It was also their second full venture into
funk music, a genre they would dominate in the coming years. The album was remastered and expanded for inclusion in the 2015 released CD box set The RCA Victor & T-Neck Album Masters (1959-1983).[4]
