Lyrics:
But at your best you are love
You're a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know
Love, let me know, let me know
#TheIsleyBrothers #AtYourBestYouAreLove #OfficialAudio
Aaliyah gave this an angelic cover but this original is a poetry from the heart of a man that's in love.
GOD is L❤🔥VE 🕊️
This is what you call real music. Yes
Nothing touches the original. The warmest purest version of this joint 💯
I agree 😊
You ain’t never lied!!!
Ernie, tell me about creating the song.
Ernie Isley: The first time I played it after I had initially written the song was for my brother Rudolph, just voice and guitar. When he heard me say, “You’re a positive motivating force within my life,” he got this quizzical smile on his face, like how? The syllables and the notes - he goes, say that again? Then he sort of nodded his head like, yeah, that’s pretty good.
No one can sing this like the Isley Bros
I agree ❤
I love!! this Isley brothers song. I'm a big fan of the Isley brothers music.
Originally released by the Isley Brothers in 1976 and I'm still loving this song to this day.
Same! One of my all time favorite songs, period!

@sunnyday8340 I'm still loving this song too!!!! I love!! the Isley brothers music.
👍🏿
Wow, I am just now learning that this is the original version. Last, but i am happy to be here.
This is so friggin' dope, words could never do it the justice it deserves. That's all I got.
Isley brothers enough said.
Aaliyah did very good remaking, really standing on the shoulders of Ronald. Too bad she ain't alive so he & her can duet this song.
true dat..remakes of old soul music are not being sung anymore so today's generation treat them like brand new but we know the real...yeah, some songs can only be felt by their originators...
Ooh they woulda ATE
True
Frank ocean too
@@alien_x_coolur embarrassing Frank ocean will never be in the same level as Ronald Isley nor Aaliyah
As usual Ron Isley delivered.
"You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know."
Spittin' knowledge on the highest level.
"You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know"
Driving to my job at the fire dept. Thinking back to all of my failures and my two sons and crying just so grateful to be where I am from where I started.... I love you Astrid, Eliaz and Elikai
Hang in brother. Sounds like your being the best dad. We all have something to work on. Peace and strength. Pray.
This is what you call real music. At your best you are loved
having listened to frank version probably 100 times, this is my first time listening to the original. it's like a breath of cool fresh air. his voice is so smooth and the instrumentation is so calming, the e-piano is so nice. I love hearing "let me know"
In Aaliyah version the instrumentals are much better and more refined she took a good song and made it better and l myself could do it even better and one day l will.
@@timesaregettingbadpatrickd6207 How'd she make it better? She sang it exactly like Ron Isley, copied his runs, riffs and everything else. Plus her version didn't have that beautiful acoustic guitar in it that makes the song so flippin beautiful.
@@dawudabdullaah6977 Her voice?😂
@@c-payne8576 it ain't even her "voice" for real. It has a TON of reverb in it and you can hear her breath while she tries to sing. Only an idiot would try to compare aaliyah to Ron Isley.
@@dawudabdullaah6977 Lol oh I get it now
Man I’m so thankful for my parents taste in music. I remember being in the backseat groovin to the Isley Brothers. Now as an adult I’ve got their records on my wall. Timeless music.
There are times when I fall short of what I say I'm all about
Listen to the music, just original perfection, remembering this music came from their creative minds…not a remake of what others did!
YES there ARE 4 versions of this song! ALL of them are hoping to catch the magic of THIS original!
At your best you are loved
The 70s was the best era of black American music. It isn’t close. This is me that grew up in the 90s saying this.
For some reason, it’s hard for me to listen to rap, and I’m a diehard hip hop fan, but these slow jams calms me
Ronald Isley/The Isley brothers arguably have the best catalogue of any living artist.
In my opinion there's no argument they do have the best catalog of any singer or group dead or alive

Ron Isley is a living legend. 🔥💯🙏🏿
The Great Isley Brothers
Agreed ❤
This shit so smooth, can't never go wrong with the Isley Brothers
Facts
True dat
Some songs just don’t need to be remade!!!!! Admire and relish it!!!!
It always leads back to the Isley Brothers
It's truly Impossible to Replicate most of their Music , that's y u hardly ever hear remakes. Aaliyah did a great job.
Yes, she had an old soul, 🕊🕊🕊
Now this is real music back in the day in high school 10th grade
One of the most romantic songs ever made
The Isley Brothers are timeless forever one of the world's greatest groups in history
YES!!!!!

THEE GREATEST!!! 🔥
All I can say is Aaliyah did this song justice like no one else could. Rest in peace
AbSOULutely. I can't picture no one else besides her & Ronald doing this song.
Clearly you haven’t heard of frank ocean…
frank ocean over her any day
Yall really do not need to pit Frank and Aaliyah against each other ..
The original version always the best but Aaliyah fs did a remarkable job
You're a positive, motivating force, within my life!!! I'm done, they went in on this💯
THESE BROTHAZ CAINT BE TOUCH WHEN IT COMES TO SLOW JAMS THEY ARE TRULY LEGEND MR CHRISTOPHER JASPER &THA ISLEY BROTHERS MR RONALD ISLEY & O KELLY ISLEY RUDOLPH ISLEY & ERNEST ISLEY & MARVIN ISLEY ENUFF SAID BROTHA SYL DAVIS PEACE
SHO YO RIGHT BROTHER! THE G.O.A.T....OF THE SLOW MELLOW BALLADS✌🏿😎
Rudolph isley will truly be missed. He was a great singer. And a man of god. He's in a better place. He's with mom and dad okelly and marvin
The Isley Brothers the best group ever recorded. Their love songs are Soulful. There message is “LOVE”. Really listen to the Words.
Norma Cranshaw I do all the time
Amen to that 🙏🏽
Im.from spain...and i love this song.....but really do you likes aaliyah too??i miss her as so much....
THE ISLEY BROTHERS ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST OLDEST FAMILY MUSICIAL GROUP IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY COVERING OVER SEVEN DECADES, THEIR MUSIC HAS INSPIRED MANY GENERATIONS AND STOOD THE TEST OF TIME !! I REMEMBER THE GROUP WHEN THEIR WAS ONLY THREE MEMBERS (SHOUT) DAYS. THEY HAVE REALLY EVOLVED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS!! KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING UNTIL THERE BE A HARVEST OF THE WORLD!! RICHARD SHACKELFORD
Aaliyah was a 14 year old girl when she sang her version of At Your Best and it's 🔥 the most played version and the best next to the original 🤷🏾♂️💯
And sleeping with r kelly too🌝🤷🏽🤷♀️he was over 21 years old
@@Beachboy-sg4qx she was assaulted. A child that young cannot consent to what a grown man is trying to do to them. Sicko
Frank oceans version is waaaay better than any version out there, but Aaliyah did amazing
@@maxhitikos that's yo opinion cause I disagree Frank can't sing that song LIVE to save his life bro lbda his version is mad studio manufactured cause if you've seen him live you know he can barely sing Thinking Bout You and that's his own song 🤦🏾♂️💯 Aaliyah on the other hand is a 14 year old girl masteringa song from a band of grown men lol I wouldn't compare her version to anybody else's 🙅🏾♂️🅿️
@@shawnjohn7783 bruh frank ocean live legit sounds the same as studio recordings, what u talkin about, voice has no manufacturing or autotune that isnt used for musical effect
My Oldest Son was conceived off this Song 🎵. I am a Isley Brothers fan for over 45 years.
I love this confession.
THe SAME HERE!..
Isley always made women feel loved ❤❤❤❤
We are all of love ❤️ 🙏🏽✨Love , Peace and Light ✨ to every single god being on this earth 🌍.
It's crazy how there's 4 versions of this song and they're alll completely different vibes
Um, who got the 4th?

Can’t forgot Gucci mane - Actavis
Both versions are great. Both soulful.
DPRD JZ there is three versions
Felix 3000
The original kick both song ass!
@Shawnice Purcell the original makes alliyahs sound like a kids bop song.
Alliyah was too young to understand this grown man music now sit down
@Shawnice Purcell "mOsT kNoWn" look kid idgaf about clout. Six nine is more known than Krs One, doesnt mean hes a better rapper. Now go do your homework kid
@Shawnice Purcell plus you deleted your original comment so dont even try to act like the good guy now
Remember Aaliyah 23 years later ❤❤. 1/16/79-8/25/01

The isley brothers are in my top 5 favorite r&b groups of all time.

Love and respect goes to the Isley Brothers

Beautiful lyrics that are no longer placed in R&B songs. So sad. So glad I’ve been able to live thru the beautiful R&B love songs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s too!!
🎉😊 lat map through radio AUX Loudoun radio app through radio
This original version is easily the best version of them all.
Rest in Peace Vernon P....I think about you when I hear this song❤💋
This is by far the best version of this song,just love it.
frank ocean version is angelic too
@@Juorix it’s the best version for me
When I was coming home from High School my mother would play this song on an old stereo console. She loved the Isleys. She also liked For the Love of You. She passed on from Bone Cancer on Dec. 22, 2006. She always had good taste in Music. SO SAD! you do not hear PROFFESIONALS and Perfectionists anymore.
Another great isley brothers song. It never gets old. Love it now and always. Great words n meaning. RIP Tony
i'm so sorry for your loss
@@mackaustin6595 thank you
I am listening to this Song and it still sounds amazing.
This is magical! Ironically, I first heard Aliyah's (RIP) cover of this song in the 90s, and it blew me away. I love the Isley brothers.
Wow!!!! I absolutely no idea this was their song!!!
This song is SOOOO beautiful....❤ Loved it from childhood ❤
One of the beauties of Ron Isley's voice? He does not sing in a falsetto. He is an authentic male soprano. The soprano is his authentic voice. R&B male falsetto singers are abundant, but Ron Isley's soprano is his AUTHENTIC voice, not a falsetto.
I just know he's a bad boy!!
We couldn't wait for summer because we knew the Isley Brothers was gonna bump it every summer an I miss them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
God is the positive motivating force within my life. Ohhhhh Lord I thank You Lord Jesus.
This Album was/is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still going 🎩💯💯
I have to go with this version I was born 1991 , it’s simply more soulful and smoother, Ron voice sounds like silk,Aaliyah version is more like nursery rhyme “twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are.” more of pop sound Ron’s feel like your floating through space all there song felt like they were from another planet
U misspelled Aaliyah's name. Respect BabyGirl Please
@@johnharris4899my honest apologies
I love them Boys. Yes
When the Isley Brothers, Frank, and Alliyah versions are all 3 of your favorite songs of all time
same here!!
check christian shelton's version on tiktok it's immaculate
Aaliyah*
Check out Durand Jones and The Indications. Homeboy does a good job at covering it
It's a great song, no matter who songs it unless the person can't sing.
ONE OF MINE FAVORITE SONG BY ISLEY BROTHER. THEY BROUGHT ME BEAUTIFUL MEMORY IN MY LIFE AND THOSE MEMORY ARE PRICELESS THEY WILL BE IN MY ❤ UNTIL DAY THE GOOD LORD COME AND TAKE ME AWAY JOHNNIE FROM PITTSBURGH
I still listen to the Isleys brothers
普段から不断の努力をして重ねて生きていくことは 恋愛においても同じことが言えるということをTheIsleyBrothersのRonald Isleyさんはこの楽曲を通じて示唆して教えてくださいまして誠にありがとうございます。おかげさまで彼氏恋人でありフィアンセの🎸♫ MateusAsatoさんも実生活で同じことをTheIsleyBrothersの楽曲を聴くことを通じて、いつも思い考えてくれているといいなぁと思います。
2020 and ouuuu Ron just put you in the mood with his silky smooth voice🥰
I think this was written about their mother, Beautiful❤👏👏👏
This version is better, I feel it more
Yesssssiirrrrr!! July 18 2022!!!!
Am I a horrible person if I actually think Aaliyah did a better version of this song? I mean I love both but Aaliyah's voice just sounds so ethereal and other worldly... It makes you feel like what I imagine being high on ecstasy feels like. She has the same chill, relaxed, ethereal vibe on "Rock the Boat" too.
Everyone has a preference so you're not horrible to think that. I prefer this version because the instrumentation is just beautiful. From the acoustic guitar guiding the melody the whole way, the soft electric riffs just fluttering like butterflies over the chorus, Ronald Isley's iconic one and falsetto and then remembering this song was written with their mother in mind - its just so beautiful from top to bottom. In saying that, "ethereal" is so perfect to describe Aaliyah's version. One of the greatest covers I've ever heard.
Nothing can beat the original
So beautiful instrumental rhythm and instrumental coordination and heavenly talented music.and such heavenly talented musical voice of singer in this song.god gave him such a nice voice and the back up singers have very nice voices. This is natural talent 👏.
Just supreme. A class of its own 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Isley brother’s yes baby
isley brothers, aaliyah, frank ocean. feeling lucky that we have 3 amazing versions of this beautiful song
