Legendary, oft-sampled single from the later catalogue of The Isley Brothers, shortly before the younger the Isleys left the group to form their own. This quiet storm funk grooves marks one of the last and most emphatic singles of the Isleys, and has been famously sampled in the The Notorious B.I.G. song “Big Poppa.”

At the time, Marvin Gaye had “Sexual Healing” out, and it was such a hit. I was talking to him on the phone one day and I was like, ‘Hey man, wait until you hear “Between the Sheets”. I said, ‘We going to knock “Sexual Healing” off.’ We just laughed.
