  1. Where the hell he dig up Lauryn at shit Im getting it just for that! But Ronald Isley is the shit so this will be added to my collection. Thx for the info!

  2. I am just happy this dude is making music still. Beautiful voice. Thanks for dragging Lauren’s butt from where ever she was. I like his spin on Close to You. It is sung beautifully. I’m not crazy about No More. It seems to be missing the soul you felt in all the Isley’s and Ron’s previous music. A little too folk sounding but again, sung beautifully.
