    Ernie, tell me about creating the song.
    Ernie Isley: The first time I played it after I had initially written the song was for my brother Rudolph, just voice and guitar. When he heard me say, “You’re a positive motivating force within my life,” he got this quizzical smile on his face, like how? The syllables and the notes - he goes, say that again? Then he sort of nodded his head like, yeah, that’s pretty good.

      The radio would say Isley remake but I never got to hear it until 04. Now I love this one as well.
      This new generation has a remake now too. Frank Ocean did it---pretty good.

    One of the beauties of Ron Isley's voice? He does not sing in a falsetto. He is an authentic male soprano. The soprano is his authentic voice. R&B male falsetto singers are abundant, but Ron Isley's soprano is his AUTHENTIC voice, not a falsetto.

    Am I a horrible person if I actually think Aaliyah did a better version of this song? I mean I love both but Aaliyah's voice just sounds so ethereal and other worldly... It makes you feel like what I imagine being high on ecstasy feels like. She has the same chill, relaxed, ethereal vibe on "Rock the Boat" too.

    • @madara792
      @madara792 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Everyone has a preference so you're not horrible to think that. I prefer this version because the instrumentation is just beautiful. From the acoustic guitar guiding the melody the whole way, the soft electric riffs just fluttering like butterflies over the chorus, Ronald Isley's iconic one and falsetto and then remembering this song was written with their mother in mind - its just so beautiful from top to bottom. In saying that, "ethereal" is so perfect to describe Aaliyah's version. One of the greatest covers I've ever heard.
