Here I Am: Isley Meets Bacharach, I Think Am Falling In Love With It, What About You? I think this is one of the most underrated albums of 2003. As I'm listening 2 it, I think it's really defining beauty. It should've got a Grammy, but that's OK. I haven't heard Ronald Isley sing like this ever. So, how do you feel about the album? Check me out and add me on:

 Well, I saw the special on P.B.S. and I must say that I was impressed with Ron's interpretation and delivery of Burt Bacharach's Catalougue. Your statement about it being underrated is quite accurate.[Edited 11/23/04 22:12pm] | |

forget that. go with the Elvis Costello & Bacharach album, "Painted From Memory" .... all originals by the two, sung by Costello, and completely beautiful. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

ronald is very smooth on this. then again, he's always smooth 
it's easy to take music for granted. sometimes we forget or don't realize the creativity behind a song a person sings. i've never heard of bacharach, but all of these songs i've listened to as a kid (and like).  | |

Elvis Costello can't sing for toffee but then neither can Burt. I agree - this is a fantastic album. A jazz version of covers was released at the same time as Burt and Elvis' original interpretations but I've never heard it. | |
