Music That Makes You Feel Something Pt.1: Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2
I remember the first time I heard of the Isley Brothers. I was about 9 years old and I was with my brother and my friend at the time. We had just put on Friday (starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker). The great intro to that movie is "Tryin' to See Another Day" by The Isley Brothers. I remember my friend being amazed by the music and the dirty, funky, vibe that emanated from it. We looked it up and saw that it was made by the Isleys. It was probably the first time that my friend had ever even heard music like that and he was immediately hooked. For a good while after, every time we'd met up, we would play and sing that song. And although the song isn't my personal favorite from the band, it was my introduction to them. It was since then that they had become a personal classic for me. With that being said, "Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2" is why I'm here writing this today, and is, in fact, one of my favorite songs by the group. I wanted to write a little bit about why I love this song and hopefully (for those who don't know it already), put you on to some new timeless music.
