Ike was not only a fellow musician that I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with several times, he was also a very good friend! My Family knew all the Wiley Brothers! RIP Sir!

April 1984, Grad Night at Disney World. They tore the roof off ! They were amazing and it was the highlight of Highschool !
