NEW YORK LBJ was in the White House and the Beatles were still
together when Chris Jasper and Ernie Isley first made music together.
But then, the pair figured their partnership would outlast a lot of
things.
"He began to play something, and I began to play something - and
something happened. We noticed it right away," said Ernie Isley,
one-third of the musical family of Isley-Jasper-Isley.
"The next year, Marvin (Isley) was playing bass and we had a
trio. But there was always something there."
Jasper recalled their 1967 musical debut: "We kind of looked at
each other like, `Hey, you know, there's something here.' And the
more we played together, the more we wanted to play together."
