[purchase]
Work To Do to finds the Isley Brothers in a transitional stage. In the 60s, they were a standard issue R&B band, complete with "doo wap" choruses.

Oh I'm out here trying to make it, baby can't you see
It takes a lot of money to make it, let's talk truthfully
So keep your love light burning and a little food hot in my plate
