(1985)Between the Sheets is a 1983 album released by
The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint. Yielding the top ten singles, "Between the Sheets" and "Choosey Lover " including the radio hits "Let's Make Love Tonight" and "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier", the album gave the Isleys anotherplatinum record. It was a series of lasts for the group: it was the last album to be released under the T-Neck name, the last album the group recorded for Epic, and the last time the "3 + 3" lineup recorded together. By the end of the year, younger brothers Ernie, Marvin andChris Jasper left the group to formIsley-Jasper-Isley while Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph continued on as a trio. "Between the Sheets" has become a heavily sampled R&B classic as is "Choosey Lover", which was re-recorded byAaliyah for her 1996 album, "One In a Million" & by Cleveland rap groupBone Thugs-n-Harmony for "Buddah Lovaz"Track listing
