My song of the day: Rene and Angela - You Don't Have To Cry

http://www.youtube.com/wa...xUNDyTqT_o


It's so weird, this song came on this morning when I was listening to Tom Joyner. Then it popped up on my iTunes at work. Man, I really forgot how much I loved this song.

Angela's voice sounded so haunting through out that WHOLE album.

Esp on Your Smile.

The album is childhood heaven to me, it was the 1st cassette I bought with my own money...

Fucking shame because I love some of their music. They were both good. Angela carried the duo, though.

They were the Chris Brown and Rihanna of their time, albeit more talented. Much like Ike & Tina...

And cue, lol.

No secret there,,,,she just knew how to pick 'em disbelief

Both of Rene Moore & Ron "Iceberg Slim Wannabe" Isley used to beat her ass in front of everybody's sight.

She had it rougher with Rene though, because he was a junkie.

Bruce Sweden(the famous recording engineer) tried to quit the "Street Called Desire" session because Rene would purposely interrupt Angela while she was in the booth,,,,,and at some point he slapped her when she tried to tell him how to sing a certain note, thats when Bruce fled the studio,,,,,untill the record comany persuaded him to come back and finish the album.

Okay, I thought that Angela has always maintained that she and Rene were never romantically involved?

Pun intended. razz

I heard the other two brothers were rough too.

Like Rudy, Kelly and Ron were really "bad boys" (who knows why Rudy became a preacher, maybe he has demons) and shit.

Like the Isley Brothers were all dressed like pimps at one time in the 1970s, lol.
