Classic Aaliyah, Excellent remake & remix
Aaliyah did an excelltn job covering the isley Brother's classic orginally titled '(At your best) You Are Love'. I always wondered why the parenthesis were placed over "you are love" in her version. She has an excellent acapella opening where she hits a high notes - which was rarely used in Aaliyah's music, especially with the songs released as singles.
R. Kelly took the song to new heights with the remixes. Using a sample of The 1984 Mtume Classic "You, me and he" and using a lyrical interopolation of Mary J Blige's "You don't have to worry" for a new hook, he made a pretty good remix or 2.
The remixes contain a new hook sung "If you wondering, you gotta let me know baby" sung in the same melody As Mtume's song's chorus followed by "You don't have to worry"
1. Gangsta Child remix AKA Video version - This is the best remix mainly because it still keeps the original Isley Verses, although it only uses the first 2 and uses the new hook as an outro
2. Stepper's Ball remix - using Gangsta Child Remix's outro hook as the chorus and newly written verses, Aaliyah sings an excellent part 2 to this Isley Brothers classic.
3. UK Flavor - Nothing special - Just a remix of the "Gangsta Child Remix" for the UK single

At you best is one of Aaliyah's best and is a must, original and remixes if you can obtain this single, for any Aaliyah fans

At Your Best (You Are Love) by Aaliyah
I love the stepper's ball version. Jammin'-classic r. Kelly. If you are a fan of him, I highly recommend. I love this song because Aaliyah's voice is just beautiful. 5 stars for her voice and 5 stars for Kelly's musical talent remixing.
