Isley Jasper Isley "8th Wonder Of The World" (1987)

Anyone remember this song? A minor hit in the spring of '87. This is actually my favorite Isley Jasper Isley song.

Yeah because I know Ernie and Chris traded lead vocals. I heard there was some tension between the two Isley Brothers and Chris during their brief tenure in this Isley Brothers splinter group, much the same thing that separated the 3 + 3 era Isleys with the six of them.

Ironically i was just listening to this 45 friday and it sounded a little
cheesy to me as in it didn't age well. I like Look the other way much
better and still sounds good today. Yeah i kind of sensed something was going
on with chris jasper and the other brothers because he abruptly went solo
after the second isley jasper isley album. Who can forget chris j's
cheesy superbad?
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
