This Old Heart of Mine (Delroy Wilson)
Song
Holland-Dozier-Holland's Motown stomper for The Isley Brothers relied on driving four-on-the-floor percussion and desperate vocal urgency. Delroy Wilson and Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd relaxed the tension into a breezy, swinging rocksteady groove, allowing Wilson's rich, smoky phrasing to give romantic endurance an effortless dignity that made the song a sound system classic.
