Timeless. Idk what was in the water or the drugs these mfs used to have but the type of music coming from Black America in the 60s and 70s needs a University level course to deep dive into how godly that shyt was. I mean, it just cannot be replicated.

The real Ronald Isley is in the Top5 best singers I've ever heard, Bill Withers, Phillipe Wynne level talent.
Chris Jasper is a genius keyboard player, the Isley brothers have never ever had a horn section (Trumpet, Saxophone, Trombone), because Jasper's meldioes on the synthesizers didn't need any other help.

Angela Winbush is a genius songwriter and producer, the most underrated catalogue in the Isley Brothers discography is the 2 albums she produced for them in the 80s including Ronald's solo album, when they first got married.


The Fake Ronald Isley doppelganger that they've been using lately in all the interviews and shows is some weirdo showbiz shyt.
