My Take
Ronald Isley is living history. As the last surviving original Isley Brother and the group's enduring lead voice, he has reinvented his sound across more than half a century, from doo-wop shouts to silky soul and funk. What stuns me is not just the longevity but the elasticity, the way that creamy tenor kept finding new listeners, even as the smooth Mr. Biggs of his later years. Carrying a family act for a lifetime is its own kind of devotion. I have nothing but deep respect for an artist who simply never stopped singing.
