They are a legendary R&B and soul group that started in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the late 1950s. The group was founded by four brothers: O'Kelly Isley Jr., Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley, and Vernon Isley.
The Isley have enjoyed one of the longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the music industry and have spent over the course of nearly a half-century of performing.

The Isley Brothers are unmatched. Ron's voice (and we all know Ron has the voice) could NEVER be duplicated. You hear him blindfolded and automatically know it's him. He was definitely the VOICE of the group. R.I.P to all the Isley brothers we has lost.

The Isleys owned every summer from 1973 to 1983 with those albums! Every single summer.

Isley Brothers ruled the 70s ☝️

Whispers and Isley Brothers are long standing bands. A test of greatness.

Let us never forget that in addition to their cutting edge, enduring roots music legacy, the Isleys took a young guitar phenom into their home and hearts. They fed him physically and emotionally and he went on to become the single most talented and revolutionary figure in roots music who stood astride the entire music scene from 1967-1970. He was so advanced that we still have not caught up to him. Bless the Isleys for all they did for Jimi Hendrix, The Son of Music. Ernie Isley keeps that legacy alive and is to be respected and appreciated for that and for being a brilliant player in his own right.

Ronald Isley has a great voice and nobody sounds like him. I admire him for never leaving his group to go solo.

The Isley Brothers deserve a lot more credit for being the only group that has produced hits that became part of common language and sayings as long as the long-running group producing their own music for over 60 years! Hit songs like " It's Your Thing, Twist and Shout, Love The One You With, and so many others, For The Love of You, and so many others far exceed the work of all other groups including the Beatles. The Soul Train Music Awards dishonored their long history of phenomenal music produced by the Isley Brothers by singling out the songs of Ron instead of the group. Not dissing the Soul Train Awards that were the best one for our music, but that was what happens when young people who don't know about music history make musical decisions. You hear things like " Marvin Gaye's " What's Going On was a hit " instead of What's Going On was " revolutionary "! When it comes to musical art and understanding the impact a song or artist had you really have to be around to know.

Love the Isley brothers they’re always on my playlist

I’m from Teaneck, NJ and grew up with Ronald Isley’s daughter. They are one of many that put Teaneck on the map.
-
A lot of people don't realize that after they became "3+3", Chris Jasper wrote nearly all, if not all of their music.
-
I love them so much 😊
-
Thanks for this video. The Isley's are a band that deserves so much as suviors and teachers of how it's done, to everybody from the Beatles to Elvis to Hendrix. Many of you were born because some couples had a Isley Brothers record on.
