I told you agree about singing the phone book and making it sound fantastic I remember my parents listening to this music back in the day and it still sounds great to this day I'm 57 I just love it what a fantastic job we need music like this nowadays
I just had to play this track after the great man’s sad passing. Burt you brought immense pleasure to millions and you were truly the most gifted songwriter of your time. You will never be surpassed. RIP
My beloved Mr. Burt Bacharach thank you for inspiring my love of music. I heard the song "The Look of Love" in elementary school for the first time. Frank C Martin Elementary School, located in Miami , Florida was a head of its time in so many areas. The lyrics and melody of this song changed my life for ever. The Look of Love, is and will always be my all time favorite. Each time I hear it sung it brings my eyes to tears. I have had the privilege of singing it on a few occasions in my life. You are a beautiful, talented and loving man. I thank God for sending you to us during my life time. Mr.Ronald Isley, I have yet to hear you in person and I must make this a reality this year. Your rendition of this outstanding song is music to my soul. May God continue to bless you in all that you do. Please keep singing.
Oh yes! The best voice 🎼 🎵 🎶 ever. He gives me chills and makes me so happy. I can listen to him forever. Feel the love people. Anyone else feel this way? So AWESOME!
I let my bass player listen to this CD he was so overwhelmed he was almost in tear this CD is the best work he's ever done other hits this is a classic for me I never get tired of listening to these songs ♥
Even better. Look and listen to the result when black and white get together. I can't wait for heaven to see the collaboration of these two giants all over again.
I liked it before the music even started. The song is already beautiful, but Ronald Isley just puts Thanksgiving dinner on it!!! Yeees, yeees,yeees 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
I have so many renditions of this song on my Spotify lists. I would never dare say that one is the most beautiful because I continually find awesome renditions. This song is more suitable for soft female voices.
Beautiful rendition of a great Bacharach song.......he has never written a bad note in his entire career......his music is captivating and will go on indefinitely. Nice video.
One of the most prolific voices in this world is that of Mr. Ronald Isley. Thank heaven that you have met Burt Bacharach and his wonderful works that you so aptly sing. I just can't get over the blend of Bacharach and Islet finally finding each other! Both have made the connection. This work was written for Ronald Islets voice. Kudos to you! I love it!
Man, what a groove! That band is definitely hummin'. Would've never thought to pair Ronald Isley with this song but he actually does a very good job - he has a voice that fits the sensuality this song evokes.
Ronald Isley you are truly, truly amazing. Burt Bacharach is lucky enough to have you interpret his songs, which will forever be adorned by future generations. Thank you both for giving us quality music for our enjoyment, without you Mr. Isley these songs would not have new life. Thank you so much!
So grateful.....this collaboration took place!! Ronald Isley' s vocals .... interpretation of this song and all of them he performed.....perfection Having viewed/listened to this too many times to count.... Had to come back since the recent passing of, The Amazing/ Incredible..." Maestro" Mr.Burt Bacharach .Thank you Hal David and Burt Bacharach ..... Rest Well 🕊️😔
This was my mom's favorite song. I can hear Dionne Warwick's rendition playing as a child child in the 70's. Ronnie Isley is in a class by himself. RIP mom. This is for you😘
Grief is the price we pay for love... My dad died 8 years ago ...his final song we played in church was :"the party is over.... It's all over ..my friend" Love from Germany, Ann 😊💕 Stay healthy
Great job by Ronald to not only capture the essence of these songs but to add his interpretation. The musicians sound fantasic. This also reminds me of how so many people underestimate Dionne skills. More than a singer she was also a song stylist. Also reminds me of what a good songwriter Burt was. Well done!
I saw this on PBS and have been looking for this for quite some time. Thanks for posting this concert. The writer, the singer, the band, and full orchestra are all fantastic. What beautiful mucsic, damn I wish they made music like this again.
The music and singing is magical with this arrangement. This is my favorite version of this wonderful song! Incredibly produced and masterfully executed. Thanks for this.
I walked into a record store in Lower Manhatten about six years ago,expecting to hear the usual rap thump thump kinda thing,when i heard this! It was sureal,as if id gone back in time! Needles to say i purchased it !!
When you're right, you're right. It's his style, and you can't argue with that amazing voice. He's got a great smile that shows how he's feeling. I've loved the Isley Brothers since I first heard "Work to Do" on solid gold soul AM radio.
Wow!! Amazing collaboration from two genres of music smooth sound ron isley put it down with a nice,burt put his genius on it very impressive. I dig this.
R.I.P. Burt Bacharach Thank you for your genius
RIP Mr. Bacharach....An old school class act. 😪 😢 🙏
Burt was the greatest songwriter/ arranger to ever do it in my opinion
What a man such an amazing voice. Love.him xx
This man could sing stars out of heaven.
he jammed on this I love 💘 this song

Definitely!

This man could sing the phone book and sound great. Well done Mr. Isley. Songwriting perfection Mr. Bacharach. Timeless.
This is a reunion of sorts in the sixties both the Isley Brothers and the songwriting team of Bacharach David worked for Scepter Wand records
I told you agree about singing the phone book and making it sound fantastic I remember my parents listening to this music back in the day and it still sounds great to this day I'm 57 I just love it what a fantastic job we need music like this nowadays

I just had to play this track after the great man’s sad passing. Burt you brought immense pleasure to millions and you were truly the most gifted songwriter of your time. You will never be surpassed. RIP
@grindled Well said. Burt Bacharach is a genius..David Foster is worth mentioning too..
RIP Mr. Bacharach, Thankyou for the great great melody and instrumental music you had created 😘

"Make me say it , Again Girl", what does
that do for ya' ?
My God this was BRILLIANT. What would this world be without the music of African Americans and their voices?
Even better. Look and listen to the result when black and white get together. I can't wait for heaven to see the collaboration of these two giants all over again.
Isley surfs through that melody with such precision and smoothness. A Masters Class.
+Matthew Scott agreed!
He is FANTASTIC!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dang neer as good as Lani Hall,...Isley style

Ronnie and Burt are both perfectionist ❤️❤️❤️❤️ "Everything" Ronnie Isley sings has a kiss from above on it.
I liked it before the music even started.
The song is already beautiful, but Ronald Isley just puts Thanksgiving dinner on it!!!

R.I.P ❤ Burt a true master of romantic classics!

Along with this arrangement from Burt Bacharach, the perfectionist
This is so fabulous silky smooth
Who could thumbs down this performance? It's impeccable.
Absolutely impeccable 🙌🏾❣
A fool that knows nothing about music
Some people chose to go against the grain.
People with no "class"!!!!!
Most beautiful version I’ve heard, bar none!!
Try Dusty Springfield's version...👍🏾
@@anthonywestjr1063 It's ALL Good! Thanks. I agree.

Brilliant arrangement. And Ron Isley brings it home.
I'd love to know who wrote the arrangement.

IKR?!
My heart flipped listening to him
