Mr. I & the Rainbow Singers
Mr. I is the debut solo studio album by American R&B lead singer of The Isley Brothers, Ronald Isley. It was released on November 30, 2010.
After his 56-year tenure with the group, Isley developed a solo album early on throughout his career. Mr. I is also Isley's comeback album after his release from a three-year federal prison sentence on tax charges earlier that April. It is also his only solo album under Def Jam Recordings; he left the label in October 2011. The album is also the final album to be released under Def Jam's Def Soul Classics factionary imprint and overall, the final album released under Def Soul as a whole; Def Soul would be folded into Def Jam in May 2011.
The album received generally positive reviews from critics, but performed underwhelmingly, debuting at number fifty on the Billboard 200.
