contemporary r&b/gospel
Editorial review
Former Isley Brothers member Chris Jasper's gospel debut Praise the Eternal could be described as sparkling, contemporary gospel with quiet storm overtones. Earnest vocals enliven the gentle album openers "Thank You Jesus" and "Praise the Eternal." The singer puts a new spin on remakes of his own "The Son of Man," from Superbad, and the Isley/Jasper/Isley number one R&B hit "Caravan of Love" from Caravan of Love. Jasper's one-man band approach makes this inspiring CD even more endearing. ~ Ed Hogan, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
As an integral member of the Isley Brothers and As an integral member of the Isley Brothers and Isley/Jasper/Isley, and as a successful solo artist, Chris Jasper has been at the forefront of progressive R&B music since the early 1970's. His professional career began in 1973, when the original Isley Brothers vocal trio expanded to include younger brothers, Ernie and Marvin, and brother-in-law, Chris, to create the musical component of the newly-created, self-contained group, the "Isley Brothers".
The Isley Brothers made their vinyl debut that same year with the groundbreaking "3&3" album, followed by a series of modern R&B classics such as "Who's That Lady," "Fight the Power," "Live it Up," and "For the Love of You." Chris Jasper was the key instrumentalist, arranger and songwriter on all of the Isley Brothers material, including the gold and platinum albums "Showdown"," "Go all the Way," and "The Heat is On.

Chris, the lead vocalist on most of IJI's recordings, was responsible for the majority of the writing and production for the new group. The trio released three high-quality albums on the CBS Associated label, including "Caravan of Love", which featured the #1 out-of-the-box title hit, written and sung by Chris and subsequently covered by English recording group, the Housemartins, who made "Caravan" an international #1 pop hit. "Caravan Of Love" has also been used in the Dodge Caravan commercials. Caravan of love ' was also recorded by Marvin Sap (appears on the WoW 2000 gospel album).
