Driftin' on a Memory: Celebrating Seventy Years of The Isley Brothers is an extraordinary achievement in Black music history and cultural scholarship. With precision and passion, the book chronicles the remarkable career of The Isley Brothers, gifted artists whose sound has defined generations of art and sound in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century, and whose legacy is inseparable from the broader story of African American resilience, innovation, and artistry. From gospel roots to global acclaim, Trenton Bailey captures the social context, cultural impact, and broader meaning of The Isleys, situating their artistry and creativity within the struggles, triumphs, and transformations of African American life and the broader American society. This book is more than a biography; it is a cultural document that honors the depth of Black creativity while reminding us why The Isleys' music remains timeless. Essential reading for scholars, fans, and anyone who has an appreciation that rhythm and soul are part of the heartbeat of history.--Reynaldo Anderson, associate professor of Africology and African American studies at Temple University
