An underrated Isley's classic! July 6, 2008
Eric Robinson (DETROIT, MI)
This titled Isley's album is probably their most underrated recording ever. These tunes were hot and funky. "Lover's Eve" is definitely their most underrated ballad. This is an Isley's collector item. Please do go and cop it if you do not have it.
This "Brown-eyed Girl" loves.... June 28, 2004

the Isley Bros. and this was the first album I bought by them, first on cassette, then the album (after wearing out the cassette) and I'm just beside myself now that it has been re-issued on CD. It is one of my favorites...during the '70's, nobody brought the FUNK AND ROCK harder then the Isley's ("Live It Up," "Midnight Sky," "Need A Little Taste of Love")...and nobody brought the love and sensitivity either. Their version of "Hello It's Me" is a classic. The other mid-tempo/slow jams on the CD are just as hypnotic: "Lover's Eve," "Ain't I Been Good to You" and my
absolute favorite, "Brown-eyed Girl." This was a worthy follow-up to the classic "3+3" and a continuation of what the Isley's were to bring to the '70's...hard driving funk, with a little rock influence and beautiful love songs that provide lasting memories for you and the one you love. ANOTHER CLASSIC!
An overlooked masterpiece June 3, 2004

LIVE IT UP was the followup to the Isley's breakthrough album 3+3. This time around, original songs bring the funk more to the forefront, while cover tunes are kept to a bare minimum. The title track and "Midnight Sky" were popular during the early years of disco, while the sole cover song, Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me" is still a staple on the Quiet Storm radio format. The bluesy "Ain't I Been Good To You" and the early-Doobie Brothers influenced "Need A Little Taste Of Love" tastefully highlight Ernie's wailing guitar solos, while "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Lover's Eve" display growth in their ability to write effective love ballads. Isley historians tend to overlook this album since it was released between two career-defining albums (1973's "3+3" and 1975's "The Heat Is On"). However, LIVE IT UP is still an important chapter in the musical evolution of the Isleys.
HOT!!!!!!! April 2, 2004
Andre' S Grindle (Bangor,ME.)
For plain hot SWEATY funk The Isley's are second to NONE on
the title track of this album!Same goes for "Midnight Sky" and
the bluesy "Need A Little Taste Of Love".Ronnie Isley is a brilliant singer and I'll never tire of the 3+3 addition of this
band!A forgotton treasure to be sure and don't kid yourself-I had it THE MOMENT it came out!

I've Been a Fan of these Cats for so long&always Will."Brown Eyed girl" is tight as is the title cut.the classic 3+3 sound is a winning formula that never fails to get excitement from me.strong arrangements&Musicianship along with the Incredible vocals of Ronald Isley. must have.
