    One day back in 1973, I was babysitting for a couple that allowed me to use their stereo. Once the kids were asleep, I turned to a station playing this tune. This wasn't my transistor radio. This was a stereo consule with all the sound settings that made this music come alive. To this day, I still think of that moment in my youth & how great the guitar made me feel and move. Yeah.

      Just like you, Christine, back in that day--maybe in 1975 or so, they used to have 'concert shows' on TV on Saturday nights at 10:30 thru midnight in the midwest. These guys came on and I was transfixed by Earnie Isley standing apart from the rest of the group, they wearing their matching tight white satined outfits, and Earnie in a white buckskin jacket, jamming at the end of the stage in his own world. Very special childhood memory. I cannot now play this song only once.

      It's by no means one of the hardest, but that's not the point, is it? 😺 It sounds great! It sounds perfect for the song; every part is there - tone, phrasing, melodic content... Feel... To me he sounds more like Robin trower than Jimi , but then I used to think that trower sounded like Jimmy, too! 😸 Hard and good are like comparing, not apples and oranges... More like apples and bricks! Hard does NOT Make something good, and good doesn't have to be hard! For example, most of bridesmaids solos and fills are nowhere near as hard as, say... A zillion others things, but HIS ALL sound great, and absolutely perfect for a song they're in, which ACTUALLY is harder to do!!!!!!!!!! .. Short form... Kudos to Ernie 😺😺😺!!!!!!!!!! Loved him the first time I heard him!!!

    Ernie Isley is a great guitarist, but he was taught by the greatest guitarist! Lots of people don't know, but Jimi Hendrix was a guitarist for the Isley brothers and best friends with them and he taught Ernie when he was a kid before he died, and that's where ernie's talent comes from - is he saw all the things that Jimmy had actually invented. There's a lot of great guitars but Jimi Hendrix had things that no one else had, he actually struck fear and a lot of the huge guitarist of his time! because they couldn't do what he was doing. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Miss Jimi, he went out too young

    I had the great pleasure of hosting Ernie on my Golf Talk Show, "Views From The Rough" when he was doing the Jimi Hendrix tribute tour. I can't thank his publicist enough for clearing Ernie's schedule for this interview. Ernie was one of the kindest and most humble of men I have ever met.... his stories of life as an Isley starting as a drummer and then his parents allowing Jimi to stay with them in their NJ home....and how Jimi had this innate ability to hear a sound of a car, train etc and make it come out on the guitar. Most intriguing story was the family gathering to watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show....and that is when they decided to add another guitar to the group..... I love these guys....but for me Ernie will always be Top-Shelf....hope he and can meet again this time for 18.... 18 holes -18 questions. Reach out Ernie I'm here. Thank YOU

In addition to this being an excellent song, folks really missed Hendrix and it took us right into Hendrix/Isley Brothers mode. I'll always remember that concert.

    (Story time) It's 1973. Ernie Isley is a young man of 20 to 21 years of age. His older brothers have been stars for 3/4 of his life. They've just accepted the little brother in the band, and Ernie wants to impress his big brothers, of course. Now, he's always known that he can't do that by the way of singing. How could he? So, as a boy he picked up the guitar, and had the good fortune to have been tutored by the family friends Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. This album - 3 + 3 - is his chance to make a good first impression on his siblings. He takes that chance and embraces it with all of his young, eager heart.
    They say, that after finishing his solo in That Lady, one of his brothers he so looks up to just stared at Ernie for 15 minutes straight, not saying a single word.
