The Isley Brothers have been part of our lives for more than six decades and over that period have, in many incarnations, stayed relevant with their unique blending of rock & roll and deep soul balladry. And for the past half century, Earth Wind & Fire has arguably been the most influential R&B band, with their Imperial Period of 1975-85 containing some of the greatest albums in soul music history. That these two acts are recording together for the first time is a momentous occasion for music.
This is a match that seems made in Heaven, and one that SoulTrackers will be excited to hear. We'll let you know as more details are released!
