A familiar face on tv in the sixties. Of all the Scots actors who tried to capture the Burns role he came closest, being dark and with an eye for the ladies.Quote:

One of the original Isley Brothers, a group who enjoyed huge success. firstly on Motown and then incorporating funk, gospel and some strong social conscience lyrics in the seventies. Rudy left the music side to become a pastor but their music remains as vibrant as ever.
Two of their bigger songs here, the first is a personal favourite, the second perhaps the one that they are most widely-known for.

I also didn’t realise until yesterday that they did the originals of Twist and Shout (Beatles) and Shout (Lulu). Great band who covered a range of musical genres across the years 🙌Quote:
