At Your Best (You Are Love)

Aaliyah

“At Your Best (You Are Love)” is a track off of Aaliyah’s debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number”. The song is a cover of “(At Your Best) You Are Love” by the American musical group, The Isley Brothers, released in 1976.

In a 1994 interview, when asked what is her favorite song from the album, Aaliyah responded saying,

My favorite song is At Your Best (You Are Love)… well because I love The Isley Brothers for one and all though I think the song is very special – the words and the lyrics are really heavy. The Isley’s – most of their songs, the lyrics are really something. You know you have to really listen and their songs are really deep and I thought that song was really special. When I first heard it, I fell in love with it – when Robert brought it to my attention and I loved it ever since."
