Ronald Isley may have soul but can he go solo?
The 68-year-old founder and front man of The Isley Brothers is releasing his first solo album on Tuesday, two days after being honored at the 2010 Soul Train Awards on Sunday.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the show -- which was filmed on Nov. 10 but aired Nov. 28 on BET -- honored the careers of both Isley and Anita Baker.
"Thanks to all my fans for supporting me for so many years!" Isley tweeted after the show. "I am so appreciative!"
Baker’s tribute consisted of an all-star cast that did a medley of her greatest hits. The singers who performed included Tamia, Dionne Farris, Faith Evans, El DeBarge, Lalah Hathaway, Chrisette Michele, Ken, and Goapele. Baker exclaimed, “It’s amazing because you’ve got children behind you singing ‘Rapture’ – and it’s lovely. Let’s do it again!”
The evening was graced by several other musicians, including Bruno Mars, Erykah Badu, Cee Lo, and Jazmine Sullivan. Read More
