Additional information
Personnel: Billy Messinetti, Ed Tuton (programming). Audio Mixer: David Dachinger. Audio Remixer: Mark McKenna. Liner Note Author: Jerry Ewing. Recording information: Bearsville Studios, New York, NY; E.A.R.S., NJ; Soundtrack, NY. Arrangers: Chris Jasper; Ernie Isley; Marvin Isley. This release from the Cherry Red-affiliated Super Bird label contains the three albums from Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper & Marvin Isley: Broadway's Closer to Sunset Blvd. (1984), the Top Ten R&B album Caravan of Love (1985), and Different Drummer (1987). All told, the trio placed six singles on the U.S. R&B chart; most of them reached the Top 20, while "Caravan of Love" itself went to number one, and they're all in this compilation. For most, the 2003 Epic/Legacy compilation Caravan of Soul: The Best of Isley Jasper Isley will cover the essentials. No one other than an Isley diehard or a mid-`80s R&B freak needs to go this deep. ~ Andy Kellman
