Ronld Isley/Burt Bacharach---The look of love

[OPNURISYDER]

I have always liked the Isley Brothers. They have always been a special part of my past. I knew Ronald had an incredable voice. But WOW, He really nailed this one. He sounds like Burt wrote this song for him. Just simply beautiful!!

[RondoRedux]

Mr. Isley is an American singer and more commonly known as the lead singer and founding member of the family music group The Isley Brothers.

I've never heard a bad version of this song. In fact, my plumber was hear a few days ago clearing a stoppage in the bathroom and HE sounded great singing this song. Honest.

[ranhill]

Check out Burts swagger @ :16 He knows he's still the man when he enters a room.

[Ethercast]

Mike Myers tells a story in which he listened to this while driving home from ice hockey practice, and it made him wonder "Where have all the swingers gone?".

Why is this important? That's how he got the inspiration for Austin Powers.

[MRIperide]

che arrangiamento!!!!! che gusto...e poi questa è una delle mie canzoni preferite in assoluto!!! ottima interpretazione del cantante

FANTASTIC!!!

[edsphoto]

I didn't even know he could sing!

[tumsabai1]

@edsphoto

Search "Isley Brothers" on google and youtube.

[PowerBomb900]

Attention Audio enthusiasts!

Anybody know if that's an Audio Technica microphone Ron Isley is using?

And is it just me, or does that look like a Neve board that they are mixing on?

[ramona2400]

Child, I cannot take it OMG - pure magic - it takes my breath away - you better saaaang Ron!!!!

[bronxboy47]

Fantastic collaboration!!

[LUVJONZ99]

One of those quintessential songs from the 70's, this was sung on many TV shows.....from the 70's....

[tishasotelo]

love this version to a classic song typically performed by female vocalists.

Ron adds a great flare and talent,

What can I say about Mr. Bacharach, he is one the most talented conductors

and without him our music today wouldn't be as great...I have a crush on your Burt.

My brother played this song over and over.. that's where I learned to love it.

[iceman971965]

sweet

[JaiKleff]

Amazing...

[trydreamin]

Old news with fresh talent. Just try to top the Isley Brothers and then you've got something. Great to be proven that talent can last forever not just be wasted on flamboyent youth.

[lesatz4]

¡Qué maravilla!

[jerricette]

Oh yeah I love his voice.

[jonieheffner]

....bacharach goes to work in sweats.

[ladylove713]

Wow!!! I am truly impressed

[ph1lanthrope]

Ron owns this!! Burt went on to develop this intro & outro for "Can't Give It Up" on his 2005 release "At This Time" - which is an amazing album!!

[isarte2007]

What does 'the look of love' look like on a woman's face and a man's??

[slobodaneee]

I love his version of this song. Actually,. I love every version of this classic song. I think his may just be the best of them. thanks for posting.

[aryvec]

E ciò che il mio cuore ha sentito, e che toglie il respiro...

[lordcarnabon]

The look of love

[jonieheffner]

@treed51....you read my mind.

[dewmikester1]

@treed51 You ain't never lied...Bellissima!!

[Tweekerhead]

Yeah ...the IRS locked him up...a national Treasure...locked up?

[osensei2987]

Man fuck the IRS! That's some CFR, NWO, World Bank bullshit!

You know the great Joe Louis joined the army in World War II and donated all of the money he made from boxing during the War to the US War effort. Then after the war the IRS sued him saying that he didn't report the the same money that he gave to the government!

Joe Louis died broke because the same government that he gave 100% of his money to sued him over it!

[memphistn1]

Simplesmente o máximo essa gravação de "The Look Of Love"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Regina7619]

[bibbi]

Ronnie Isley is the man. He is amazing with and without the Isley Brothers.

[straponjane]

Truly amazing vocals from a truly amazing and talented singer. Tone, control and musicality, Ron Isley has it all and puts to shame many younger so called singers. Watch and learn.

[jhonattancr123]

[EchoCannon89]

black people singing burt bacharach songs is pretty much guaranteed to be amazing

[igmorf]

Is he from the Isley brothers?

[gaspo218]

I consider that Burt/Isley album a true classic. But why no follow up ?? There has to be other songs rejected for the first LP but ok for an LP 2. Right ??

[menzies1930]

just the best version...this is talent and inspiration at its best...Powerful combination...Help's yu to forget about stress and all the other negatives were faced with...Peace and love...

[bultaco111]

OMG!! this is amazing!! And.. am I correct in assuming that he is the singer on the song, "Who's that lady" ??

[bortekm]

Oh, I could seal it with a kiss, definitely.

[becoortiz]

This is the ultimate version of this beautiful song. You never get tired of listening to ron's heart felt voice!!

[dannyboy5678]

Beautiful..Classic.......

[jimmiek2]

This is one of the best song's ever.

[chillypalmer49]

I love this version...but if you wanna hear the ultimate rendition...and see the most beautiful sultry creature to ever draw breath on this planet...check out Diana Krall.

[joejoesmootube]

Masters!! This is the best version,period!!

[xclaudiokk2009]

Io non ho mai ascoltato musica piu' bella di questa grazie Burt sei il migliore.

[qbmaya]

Ron Isley is responsible for 50 years of unplanned pregnancies... and still going...

[smthoman]

And I bet his breath stunk too during this production.

[froggydear]

wow wow wow! i can feel all the emotion in this version. BB and RI are a great team!

[lbcfunkaholic]

great team and great version- but no one will ever beat dionne warwick on this one

[pacfit70]

does anyone have the video of "here i am" by isley and bacharach to post?

[tazrenae17]

Simply beautiful!!! No words could ever describe how exquisite this rendition is!!!!! Just Marvelous!!!!!!!

[asiaball]

Oh wow this is a very good version !!!

[firelione]

I hope Ronald is released from prison soon.

Maybe GWB will pardon him...

[toninhospessoto]

BURT BACHARACH IS A GENIUS!

[tsyonsyn]

i remember this special. it was filmed for PBS. and they did a lot of songs.

[risofsmailnet]

Brings tears to my eyes....what a fantastic version.

[bibbi]

Ronald Isley is smooth bad man!!! I love it!! He set a good tone for this song after Dionne's version.

[firelione]

Truly Sublime. I hope Ronald and Burt will be with us for a long, long time.

[denzelmendoza]

cool. we're playing this song in my jazz band.

[flatuelas]

maravillosa versión

[verily59]

Good version!

[pacfit70]

these guys are magical together!Love thier sound!keep up the good wrk.pacfit in the atl

[jo22338601]

Excuse me I'm in heaven where is the CD?

[manninglewin]

Sorry,I don't know.Maybe you can search google or amazon to try.But all the content of CD you can find in youtube.

[jo22338601]

This is awesome news I will take advantage of this great sound.Thanks again

[ali0015]

i got my cd from best buy,try there if thay dont have it thay can get it 4 u.

[SuperSoulSeeker]

Nice. Ronnie's voice is exquisite.

But my favorite will always be that haunting version with the killer intro by Isaac Hayes (RIP)

[newyorkigga]

This version is by far the best I have ever heard. Ronald (aka Mr Biggs)brings this tune into the twenty-first century. Mr. Isley has the ability to invoke passion,romance and sensuality with every note uttered by him. He is truly an extraordinary talent and he is definitely one of my all time favorite. This song had to be written with Ron in mind. Amazing rendition.

[ozinaldodemelo]

that´s a music for every romantic moment of our lives, to live and remember the great moments of our lives, thinking of the greatest love of our our lives...

[Actionguy1]

Wow!

[Philinphecite]

Powerful.

[icanvis]

I'm in love all over again. Ron and Burt makes me feel it's depth.

[HgNi2006]

Listening to this just now, this is my fave version. Better than Dionne Warwick or Dusty Springfield. I'm assuming this is one of the Isly Brothers? I'm on a B. Bacharach roll lately! "Where Is the Love...?" :)

[ultraviperman]

amazing version....ron isley is immensely talented

[sa2nti]

This is such a great song. Love listening to every word in the lyric. It is so touching.

[mistaal]

the meaning of LP is Long Playing

[guygraham101]

i have a feeling that this is a difficult song to sing

[phantomxr]

the human voice,the greatest musical instrument ever,Ronald Isley,the MOUNT EVEREST,amongst many molehills.

[BlueCobolt]

The album Here I Am by Burt and Ronald is on my top 3. Gutwrenchingly good.

[jellis4465]

This has got to be the best version of a great song ,great just great.

[number1covers]

You obviously haven't heard my band's version of this song (see video at my youtube page).

Some folks say our rendition is better than the original, and it probably is.

[Mel0132]

I've been looking all over the net for this video as well as the PBS Soundstage perfoemance DVD. Where Can I get this!?

[ysblfan]

I have got a copy in iTunes but it is also for free in Limewire. Check it out.

[peppersax]

Wow! Great job by Ronald. Burt Bacharach and Thom Bell was the reason I became a composer. EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!

[gaspo218]

You gotta love the superb musicianship here. Stuff like this doesn't happen every time. Might be the best thing Burt ever did. I think so. Where's the follow up to this, though? You know, album #2 ??

[har6236]

Ron Isley..wow! It brought this 48 year old man to tears.

[jackwalls1971]

Does anyone remember Brazil 66? Great cover music.

[ysblfan]

yes I remember them. Good music too, but nothing of this quality.

[firelione]

Yes. Another great rendition.

[zzyyxxo]

I just love Burt Bacharach. He can do no wrong, it seems.

Ronald Isley does a nice job on this.

[insantfunk]

hayes has the better cover

[Leanne60]

Beautiful. Thanks ever so much.

[twocaronecar]

too beautiful for words. what an total ace at his age sounding like he ever did.

[adrian480]

No one can sing this as god as Dusty Springfield, and I am a big Isley Brother fan

[lauralafrikan]

i love this song! and love Burt Bacharach, the greatest of contemporary song-writers!

[carolineal]

p.s. this is another wonderful version of one of Bucharachs masterpieces... i love Ron Isley's skill... gorgeous interpetation, great voice!!

[funkzoid]

could'nt agree more ! this is so brilliant

[carolineal]

yep :) ..but when we have to write about great composers like Burt Bacharach or talented voices like Ron Isley are..well..everything it's simply gorgeous ;)

[jazzyspi]

the most sensual song in years
