The Isley Brothers are an American R&B/soul group from Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in the early 1950s. The original lineup consisted of O’Kelly Isley, Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley, and Vernon Isley, who tragically died in 1956 at the age of 13 in an automobile accident. The group gained early recognition with their hit "Shout!" in 1959. In 1963, they established their own label, T-Neck, and added a young lead guitarist to their lineup. They signed with Motown in 1965, where they recorded "This Old Heart Of Mine." After leaving Motown in 1968, they relaunched T-Neck in 1969 and released the hit "It's Your Thing." In 1973, they expanded their lineup to include younger brothers Ernie and Marvin Isley, as well as O’Kelly's brother-in-law Chris Jasper. From 1973 to 1983, the group continued to produce hits such as "Between the Sheets," "Choosey Lover," and "For the Love Of You." The Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 as performers.
