The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers (/ˈzl/) are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the "longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music".

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon's death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, "Shout", written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, "Twist and Shout" and the Motown single, "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)" before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, "It's Your Thing" on their own label, T-Neck Records.

Just Like This

Just Like This is a studio album of previously unreleased material recorded between 1976 and 1977 by Mick Ronson. It was supposed to become Mick Ronson's third solo album after Slaughter on 10th Avenue (1974) and Play Don't Worry (1975), but due to low selling amounts of these albums, record company RCA refused to release this third album in 1977. Just Like This is finally released six years after Mick's death (1993) on 15 March 1999 by New Millennium Music (Burning Airlines label) in a limited amount. A rare extra limited amount has an extra bonus CD with 7 demo's and 2 outtakes. The release was fully backed by Mick Ronson's widow Suzanne Ronson.

When this song took off, Motwon head Berry Gordy filed a lawsuit claiming The Isleys were still under contract when they recorded it. The court case went on for 18 years before a federal judge ruled that The Isley Brothers had recorded it after the Motown contract had lapsed. Bassist Ernie Isley is a prolific songwriter, penning, among others, "Fight the Power (Part 1 & 2)" and co-writing "That Lady". His guitar riffs are recognizable on Isley Brothers’ "Summer Breeze" & "That Lady". Musicians: The Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 Charles Pitts Jr. played the lead guitar - he later played the famous wah-wah on "Theme From Shaft" by Isaac Hayes.
