    Writer Burt Bacharch visited the Isleys' session for the song, discovered they'd changed the "Make It Easy On Yourself" lyrics and, after expressing his displeasure, left in disgust. Their recording stayed in the can for nearly 30 years. (Following their
    runin with Burt, they cut "Twist & Shout" as a possible B-side to "Are You Lonely By Yourself." Clearly their plans changed!)
