Verzuz Presents: The Isley Brothers vs Earth, Wind & Fire | Sunday 8PM ET

[BiggWebb79]

I'm surprised The Isley Brothers didn't play Caravan Of Love after the Deniece Williams song, would be a great choice considering Ron didn't sing on it but still a classic song from the group.

That's nuts. I was listening to an Isleys playlist and this song had me come in this thread. What's blowing me away about the Isleys is that so much of their music from the 70s on sounds so clean and crisp and like it could legit fit into damn near any decade. I find myself looking up what year songs came out cause I legit have no clue.

The major's played (play ?) a HUGE part in deciding who got (gets) signed and who could get
exposure.

So there are young bassists, guitarists, trumpet players, sax players etc.
Who can't hope to have careers because the people who decide who gets
airtime have decided "no one wants to hear that".

also, it should be noted that most of the people who made Kendrick's "To Pimp A Butterfly" sonically are mainly 1980s born (this generation was the first to feel the effects of the music programs being cut), Jazz heads




alot of the new big time instrumentalist coming from Cali and Texas are mid 1970s/1980s babies with church music backgrounds who also happen to be HipHop heads

can't forget Adrian Younge (1978)






Isaiah Sharkey (D'angelo) born 1989 comes from Chicago Gospel background




Melani Faye 1998 also from a church background; the other chick who works with Beyonce is from a Blues background

I can on and on...

yup.
And just about everyone here I've mentioned in the past or tried to champion their
work on here.
Especially Adrian Younge.
I had a chance to meet him, he's cool, humble, very intelligent even told me I could
swing by the studio and kick it with em.
One of these days preferably when the pandemic has died down, I'll swing by and take him
up on that offer.

Sounds like an R.Kelly track.

Yup Kellz probably wrote it

[MVike28]

Brehs i'm not usually an emotional dude i saw the live broadcast and went back and watched the replay and choked up a couple times

Cherish the good times and the memories because time flies

Probably because he was not part of that group. That was Ernie and Marvin Isley and Chris Jaspers spin off group.
