Description:
“I Turned You On” delivers a bold and confident funk/soul single, featuring a punchy rhythm, lead vocals by Ronald Isley, and lyrics centred on intimacy and swagger. The B-side, “I Know Who You Been Socking It To”, offers a playful, accusatory vibe with rail‑tight rhythms, highlighting the group’s versatility. The A-side charted well and marked the Isleys’ growing independence and shift toward funk after their Motown years.

Sampling & Influence:
The single’s attitude and groove foreshadowed the funk direction The Isley Brothers fully embraced in the 1970s. And was most notably sampled by N.W.A in Parental Discretion Iz Advised, featured on their debut album Straight Outta Compton and by by Big Daddy Kane for the title track of his 1991 album Prince of Darkness
