For the Love of You - The Isley Brothers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

No one quite does soul like The Isley Brothers. Comprising brotherly trio O’Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley, the influential Ohio group began life in the 1950s and built up a beloved repertoire of tunes that spans genres – and five decades – picking up a Grammy for "It's Your Thing" in 1970 and in 2014 receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Released as a single in 1975, "For the Love of You" (also known as "For the Love of You (Part 1 & 2)") shows The Isley Brothers in buttery smooth soul mode on a song that unfurls with fluttery romance. The track, which begins with a dream-like first verse ("Driftin' on a memory / Ain't no place I'd rather be / Than with you, yeah / Lovin' you, well, well, well.") was featured on the group's 13th studio album, The Heat Is On, (1975) and has been sampled by numerous hip-hop artists, including Nas, Doctor Dré and Ed Lover, Common, Skee-Lo and many more.
