Despite the early success of their Motown debut, the Isley Brothers would be alienated from the label because it treated them as a second-string group. They soon left for Buddah Records and reforming their own T-Neck label in 1969, finding long-lasting success soon afterwards.
The album cover featuring white models was satirized in a scene from the 1991 film The Five Heartbeats, a musical drama chronicling the career of a fictional rhythm and blues vocal group.
