3+3

3+3, released in 1973, marks The Isley Brothers' expansion from a vocal trio into a six-member band with the addition of Ernie and Marvin Isley and keyboardist Chris Jasper. The album blends soul and early quiet storm balladry with funk grooves and rock-inflected guitar work, featuring Ernie Isley’s Hendrix-influenced solos and tighter band arrangements; it mixes original songs and reinterpretations to showcase a fuller, more instrumentally adventurous sound that helped define the group’s 1970s direction.
