(1969)"Soul on the Rocks" is a 1967 album by
The Isley Brothers on the Tamla (Motown ) label. Their second and final album with the Detroit label, the brothers soon felt dischanted from their stay in Motown while established groups likeThe Temptations andThe Four Tops , whose styles were more polished than the Isleys, got more promotion. Ironically, some of the album's tracks, including "Got to Have You Back" and "Behind a Painted Smile" found chart success inEngland as the Isleys found out on a tour of the country during this period. Motivated, they eventually left Motown and re-formed their T-Neck record label.Track listing
