Ronald Isley & Burt Bacharach Here I Am: Isley Meets Bacharach

Interview,  Dec, 2003  by Patrick Giles

(DreamWorks)

Funk-soul progenitor Isley lends his seductive voice to a handful of Bacharach's 1960s-ish pop hits. While, back in the day, artists like Dionne Warwick and Karen Carpenter once delivered these songs with a suave purity, Isley's high-key renditions are bluesy and earthy, infusing those frequently camped-up compositions with a passionate authenticity.
