The Isley Brothers On The Clay Cole Show...1959

[Shelley "SoleMann" King]

For the past few days i have been listening to The Isley Brothers, not the 1970's on up Isley Brothers, but the late 50's early 60's Isley Brothers and of course after doing all that listening, i had to look around on Youtube and see what i could find...

The feature video on this blog is them singing Stagger Lee on The Clay Cole Show in 1959, but i have also included a Doo-Wop song that they did with The Chiffons titled "Don't Be Jealous" which i truly love...

Now lets talk about The Stagger Lee video...Lawd i was cracking up when Ron Isley pulled that gun out...LOL

1:22 Ron pulls gun out of Jacket

SINGER...Stagger Lee went home
And he got his .44.
He said, "I'm goin' to the ballroom
"Just to pay that debt I owe."

1:49 Ron shoots O'Kelly Isley while the London Mods Dance...LOL

SINGING...Stagger Lee went to the ballroom
And he strolled across the ballroom floor.
He said "You did me wrong, Billy."
And he pulled his .44.

"Stagger Lee," said Billy,
"Oh, please don't take my life!
"I've got three hungry children,
"And a very sickly wife."

Stagger Lee shot Billy,
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad,
That the bullet went through Billy
and broke the bartender's glass.

Yep, yall seeing a earlier version of Ron Isley a.k.a Mr. Biggs in training....ROFLMBO. I just found out that Stagger Lee was based on a actual murder, wow talk about learning something new everyday and it was a very controversial song, but you just gotta love The Isleys back in the day....SMILE

Now here is Doo-Wop at it's finest, i only wish that this was a actual video, i would have loved to seen them singing this...SMILE
