Couldn't agree more about the quality Isley Brothers material at Motown. Especially those Gospel harmonies.
So the good news is...
The MusiCares set list had The Isley Brothers [[Ron and Ernest) down for one song - This Old Heart of Mine. It's long overdue to have the wider Motown artists featured at large telivised events. It solidifies the deeper Motown legacy, as Motown the Musical showed at its opening with nearly everyone there - Diana Ross to The Velvelettes.
Anways, The Isley Brothers seemed to have a great time celebrating their "good friends Berry and Smokey". Hopefully this puts any beef to rest and The Isleys can assume their rightful place in Motown's global contribution, legacy and phenomenon. It's bringing the artists together in a respectful way.
As a side [[joke) thought, imagine if they had of performed I Heard It Through The Grapevine haha.
Here's The Isley Brothers sharing their good vibes and Motown acknowledgement;
