The Isley Brothers originated in Cincinnati, Ohio, and initially performed gospel music with brothers O’Kelly Jr., Rudolph, Ronald, and Vernon Isley. After Vernon’s death, the remaining trio reformed in New York City in 1957. Their initial success came with the 1959 single “Shout,” which sold over one million copies and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite this early recognition, they faced challenges with subsequent releases on RCA Victor and Scepter Records. In 1962, they achieved their first top-40 hit with “Twist and Shout.”
In 1964, the brothers established their own label, T-Neck Records, to gain more creative control. During this period, Jimi Hendrix joined their backing band, the I.B. Specials, performing on singles like “Testify” and “Move Over and Let Me Dance.” After Hendrix’s departure and a brief stint with Motown Records, where they released the 1966 hit “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You),” the group revived T-Neck Records in 1969. This move led to the Grammy Award-winning single “It’s Your Thing,” which became their biggest success to date, reaching number 2 on the Hot 100 and number 1 on the R&B chart.
The 1970s marked a period of significant growth and success for The Isley Brothers, with the official inclusion of Ernie Isley (lead guitar, drums), Marvin Isley (bass guitar), and Chris Jasper (keyboards, synthesizers) in 1973. This expanded lineup led to critically and commercially successful albums such as “3 + 3” (1973), “The Heat Is On” (1975), and “Between the Sheets” (1983), which collectively sold millions of copies and produced multiple hit singles across pop and R&B charts. The group has continued to record and perform into the 2000s, with Ronald and Ernie Isley leading the current lineup, and they hold a Guinness World Record for their chart longevity.
