I always loved the Geovanni song and in the early PL away days "Best trip" was brilliant as we were leaving Emirates and WHL.
The song was written by three people, all of them members of the Isley brothers at one time or the other and two of them brothers…called Isley. I think I’m going to have that as ‘strictly correct’ tbh
It is correct, the song is credited to Marvin and Ernie Isley and their brother in law, Chris Jasper, who made up The Isley Brothers.
After breaking away from the family group, the group (notably Chris Jasper) wrote and produced this single, which was Jasper's interpolation intending to reach audiences by presenting Christianbeliefs in his music.

On this occasion, Wiki is not your friend, the song was written by the three of them (it’s not an opinion, it’s written on the record).
It was predominantly written by Casper, as it says, reflecting his Christian beliefs. Yesterday has Lennon McCartney on the label. McCartney wrote it and was the only Beatle on it. Numerous songs have Elvis as a co-writer but he never wrote one. Record labels are not your friend for accurate information about song writing.
Not everyone that gets a writing credit actually wrote the song. a lot comes down to the publishing contract.
Must be said wiki isn't the best source of reliable information, but I'd trust anecdotal evidence from within the actual process over writing credits any day of the week, personally.
I would take it over a bloke who said the Four Tops had appeared with Jimi Hendrix in Hull and said he wasn’t wrong because he had read it some where. Or who informed us junior’s favourite away game was at West Brom where the teams came out to a half empty stadium as we were winning 2-0 when it was 0-0. No doubt you think Lennon and McCartney jointly wrote every Beatles song the record label said the did. Or that Norman Petty wrote a part of every Buddy Holly song his name appeared on. You had better get on the site and telll them what they wrote about the writers of Caravan Of Love are wrong.
How are you oldies gonna get da yoof on board with music on vinyl (or shellac)? Perhaps looking to the local Drill Scene?
Thats about it. The meetings, we actually had two all day sessions that summer, were to convince some younger lads that Three Day Millionaire was about as Hull as a song can get. It could also be turned into a terrace song and the line you quoted was exactly as we had it. But it can be a bit dowdy and no-one actually knew any of the words except me. You can imagine the looks we got when I tried to sing it to the lads in old English Gentlemen! Its a fabulous old Hull folk song, great for a back room sing along rooms in a pub and I still think it could be adapted for the terraces. But the trouble is we have missed the boat on a club song, and it is the one thing I envy Hull FC for because 'Old Faithful' is perfect. it has age and tradition and most people know the first verse at least. I wish it was ours.
