Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Chris Jasper is an R&B legend for his years as a member of the Isley Brothers and Isley-Jasper-Isley, where he became one of R&B’s most notable keyboardists and songwriters. He has also had a strong solo career, and earlier this year released what may be his best solo album, the critically acclaimed The One.
Over the years, Chris has shown himself to be adept at both killer funk and the most tender of love ballads. So it is no surprise that The One shows the two sides of Chris Jasper, and that’s the theme of our newest SoulTracks First Listen: We combine the beautiful ballad “Still In Love” for the lover in you, with the deep bottom of “Man Up,” for the funksters among you. The combination shows why Chris has been long been a SoulTracks favorite, and also shows that he is one diverse cat. Check out our double play below and tell us what you think. And then check out The One!
