Chris Jasper [2022] - I Promise [Gold City] OUT NOW!


Veteran artist Chris Jasper has a new single "I Promise", posted last week on promo, which  I originally thought was scheduled for release on Valentine's Day but it has been released today (1 Feb 2022). It's from a forthcoming album "Raise The Bar" due later this year around late spring/summer.

Chris, of course, is probably best known for his work with The Isley Brothers between 1973-83 working on eleven of their best selling albums. In 1984 the group splintered to become Isley-Jasper-Isley (Ernie & Marvin) who released three albums between 1984-87. Jasper continued as a solo artists and has released over a dozen albums plus a few gospel albums.

Despite it being #1 R&B, they were pipped to the top of the UK charts by The Housemartins (which included Norman 'Fatboy Slim'  Cook as a member) with an acapella cover of "Caravan Of Love" at Christmas 1986.

Jasper lived in the same apartment building as The Isleys in Cincinnati, OH, and his sister Elaine married Rudolph Isley.

I was racking my brain trying to think what this song reminded me of and I think it is possibly  the melody that is reminiscent of Kool & The Gang's "Cherish"?
