This Episode features my in depth conversation with Iconic Funk, R&B and Soul Pioneer, Chris Jasper who was largely responsible for many of the Isley Brothers super hits and favorites.
Chris followed that success with the group Isley/Jasper/Isley and their smash "Caravan of Love." A Stellar Artist in his own right with 15 albums to his credit to date, Chris has written for Chaka Khan and is a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, BET Lifetime Award Winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Member, besides a myriad of other well deserved accolades.
Chris talks about his songwriting/production process which crafted Gold & Platinum success and his personal journey.
