Ronald Isley - Here I Am: Ronald Isley Sings Burt Bacharach
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Ronald Isley - Here I Am: Ronald Isley Sings Burt BacharachThe hit-making genius of Burt Bacharach has served countless interpreters well over the years, from Gene Pitney, Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick right up to Oasis, Elvis Costello and the White Stripes. The former leader of the Isley Brothers, gifted tenor Ronald Isley breathes new life into classics like “The Look of Love” and “This Guy’s in Love with You.” Produced, arranged and conducted by Bacharach himself and recorded live with no overdubs, this is evidence of two masters at work on a formidable songbook.
