The Isley Brothers – Footsteps In The Dark

Description

Immortalised, slowed down funk from The Isley Brothers, an American R&B/soul group from Cincinnati, Ohio, established in the early 1950s. This 7″ houses the much loved and often sampled in the hip hop world, “Footsteps In The Dark” (Parts 1 & 2) and “Between The Sheets”. The latter is a silky smooth R&B classic whilst the arguably more well-known “Footsteps In The Dark” is an arrestingly beautiful, hood classic/soul masterpiece.

The bassy but laid-back harmonious ballad with delicious percussion and Ronald Isley crooning an uneasy lyric on maintaining “a love that lasted for so long” amid the constant temptation of infidelity, makes it worth the entry price on its own.
