R.I.P. Chris Jasper

Chris Jasper passed away on February 23 at the age of 72 after a battle with cancer. Jasper was a member of The Isley Brothers in the '70s and '80s. His inclusion in the group, along with Ernie and Marvin Isley, was the official beginning of them as a six-member band. Jasper lived in the same apartment complex as the Isleys in Cincinnati, Ohio, and his sister married Rudolph Isley. Before he joined the group, the three members were the older brothers Ron, Rudolph, and O'Kelly Isley. Jasper studied music at Julliard and C.W. Post, Long Island University, before he worked with the Isleys full time. He wrote, played, and arranged some of their seminal albums. His contributions to the 12 albums released during that time period, including Showdown, 3+3, Go for Your Guns and Between the Sheets, are part of The Isley Brothers most fruitful period. 

The group splintered in 1984, and Jasper, Ernie, and Marvin started recording as Isley-Jasper-Isley. It is Jasper singing lead on their hit "Caravan of Love," which he co-wrote with Ernie. They broke up in 1987 and Jasper became a solo artist. He released 16 albums and had a big  hit in 1988 with "Superbad," which made it to number one on the R&B charts. All of his solo music was released on his CBS-distributed Gold City Records. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Isley Brothers in 1992. In 2014, he earned the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award with the group and they were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022.

This year is just beginning and already we're losing our old school artists I grew up listening to, but the main one that hurt me the most since we lost Frankie Beverly is this Multi talented powerhouse of a musician ( he was the driving force behind the Isley Brothers hits ) R.I.P Mr. Chris Jasper 💔🎵🎵🕊️

Remembering Chris Jasper and Roberto Orci

Here is my combined remembrance of two entertainers we lost:

Remembering Chris Jasper 1951-2025

Multi-instrumentalist and singer Chris Jasper has died at 73. He was a member of The Isley Brothers from 1973-1984. That's him on "That Lady"! He was also a part of the spin-off Isley-Jasper-Isley from 1984-1987.

Jasper and his keytar

In 1992, Jasper and The Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His passing is only a few years after bandmate Rudolph Isley died in 2023.

Remembering Roberto Orci 1973-2025

Screenwriter / producer Roberto Orci has died at 51. Since the mid-00s he had quite a run as an in-demand screenwriter. After working as a writer on a few seasons of J.J. Abrams' TV show Alias, Orci co-wrote with Abrams on a number of his projects including Mission: Impossible III, and my favorite being the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, which was the best Star Trek movie yet! Orci came back and co-wrote the highly underrated sequel Star Trek Into Darkness as well as and uncredited writing on Star Trek Beyond. He co-wrote a lot of the Transformer movies, some good some bad - but the first one Transformers was pretty fun!
