The Isley Brothers ( EYEZ-lee) are an American soul group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, that began in 1954 as four young brothers performing gospel music until the death of one brother that same year. The remaining trio—consisting of Ronald, Rudolph, and O'Kelly Isley Jr.—initially disbanded but then reformed, sparking a decades-long career with various lineups.

After moving to New York City in the late 1950s, the group had their first successes, rising to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, "Shout", written by the three brothers, which became their first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over a million copies. In the 1960s, the group recorded songs for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single "Twist and Shout" and the Motown single "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)", before recording and releasing the Grammy Award-winning hit "It's Your Thing" (1969) on their own label, T-Neck Records.

The inclusion of younger brothers Ernie Isley (lead guitar, drums) and Marvin Isley (bass guitar), as well as Rudolph's brother-in-law Chris Jasper (keyboards, synthesizers), in 1973 turned the original vocal trio into a complete band and led the group to the height of its success. For the next full decade, they recorded a string of top-selling albums including 3 + 3, Between the Sheets, and The Heat Is On, with the latter peaking at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The six-member band splintered in 1983, with Ernie, Marvin, and Chris Jasper…
