Thanks for giving me the reason to post this Isley Brothers clip from Soul Train. In the front you have Rudolph and O'kelly getting down Chris Jasper in the back on keyboards and Ernie Isley bringing it home with the guitar solo. And looking at your list. I can't give you a thumbs. No Bootsy Collins baby?
