Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Isley Jasper Isley

Song:Caravan Of Love

Album:Caravan Of Love





Isley Jasper Isley's Caravan Of Love topped the R & B charts in 1985. They were a spinoff of the Isley Brothers 3 + 3 band. Bassist Marvin Isley & guitarist Ernie Isley are brothers and keyboard player Chris Jasper is a cousin. They left The Isley Bros. and signed with Epic. They had some other R & B hits but Caravan Of Love took it to a different level. Lead singer Chris Jasper wrote the lyric as a commentary on world events. They released one more album in 1987 and then broke up because they weren't getting along. All three guys have returned to The Isley Bros. and Jasper also released a few solo records in the 90s. The British group The Housemartins successfully covered Caravan Of Love too. Sony released an Isley Jasper Isley comp in 2003 but this is the kind of song you might want on a various artists comp like the 3CD Ultimate Soul Collection from Sony. Here's the music video for Caravan Of Love. It captures a moment in time, doesn't it.
