"Choosey Lover" is a 1983 soul song by The Isley Brothers (Originally titled "Juicy Lover").
Background
Released on their T-Neck imprint, the song was their second consecutive top ten R&B hit after their seminal "Between the Sheets" hit No. 3 on that chart.[2] It was the second of two chart-topping singles the Isleys released off their aptly titled Between the Sheets album. The song has similarities to the Earth, Wind & Fire song "Devotion".
"Choosey Lover" was also the last charting single to feature the 3 + 3 lineup of the band. A year later, younger brothers Ernie Isley (who played the memorable guitar solos on the song and co-wrote the lyrics), Marvin Isley and their brother-in-law Chris Jasper left to form Isley-Jasper-Isley while older brothers Ronald Isley, Rudolph Isley and O'Kelly Isley continued on under the "Isley Brothers" name.
The song was covered by R&B singer Aaliyah as "Choosey Lover (Old School/New School)" on her 1996 album One in a Million,[4] with the "Old School" section very closely resembling the original before transitioning into the "New School" section, which features more of a hip hop beat and feel to match the contemporary feel of the rest of the album.
