The title was apparently to indicate the 3 new young members joining the original Isleys. This new blood saw them moving away from the dinner jacket soul and doowop of their older material. The group began to adopt a more mature funk/soul sound, akin to Marvin Gaye or Al Green but with lashings of fuzzy guitar not unlike their former guitar player Jimi... somebody.
Gorgeous voices, sultry grooves, and at 33-34 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome.
