Just One Mo Time / Singles As & Bs 1960-1962

Just One Mo Time is Jasmines second volume of classic recordings by the Isley Brothers. The first release back in 2010 was You Make Me Want To Shout (JASCD561) which contained 23 recordings from the very beginning of their career.

This new set kicks off with the self-penned, Open Up Your Heart and a bizarre, but fun, doo wop styled rendition of Victor Herberts Gypsy Love Song from his operetta The Fortune Teller. The song is also well known via Mario Lanza.

The doo-wop orientated mid-tempo Write to Me is a superb example of how The Isleys were moulding the uptown soul sound that would soon dominate all of R&B music. Also includes their hit song, and undeniable pop music classic, Twist & Shout plus a stunning version of Ray Charles A Fool for You which reveals Ronalds talent for bluesy vocalising in spectacular fashion.

This CD and its predecessor represent just the first six years of Isley Brothers quite remarkable career.
