Harvest for the World is the fourteenth album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint in May 1976. The album was remastered and expanded for inclusion in the 2015 released CD box set The RCA Victor & T-Neck Album Masters, 1959–1983. The album included the successful socially conscious title track and the top three R&B record, "Who Loves You Better?" While not released as singles, the ballads "(At Your Best) You Are Love" and "Let Me Down Easy" were also hits.

The Isley Brothers came with love, funk and the too seldom mentioned socially consicous songs; this album is titled after one of those social gems. However, "Who Loves You Better," with its disco flair, was the album's first release. Ronald Isley's aggressive delivery blends nicely with Ernie Isley's tantalizing guitar solos. It was a top three single on the Billboard R&B charts. The title track is a tour de force. Preceded by a mellow intro in which Ronald Isley's earnest plea rings with urgency, the timeless lyric and festive.

English Deutsch Español Français Italiano 日本語 Português (Brasil) Русский.

All babies together, everyone a seed Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed When will there be a harvest for the world. A nation planted, so concerned with gain As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain And far too many feelin' the strain When will there be a harvest for the world. Gather every man, gather every woman Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children Gather everyone, gather all together Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world

The Harvest For The World album kicks off with this prelude, concocted by keyboardist Chris Jasper in the studio. I remember saying, 'This is a great message here - it would be nice if there was a setup, So 'Harvest For The World (Prelude)' was done on the spot in the studio. I just took some motifs from 'Let Me Down Easy' and 'Harvest For The World' and did it in half an hour. More songs from The Isley Brothers. More songs from 1976. Lyrics to Harvest for the World (Prelude).
