<p>The Isley Brothers are an American R&B/soul group from Cincinnati, Ohio. Formed in the early 1950's, the original group consisted of O’Kelly Isley, Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley and Vernon Isley (who tragically died in a 1956 automobile accident). They gained popularity with their early hit “Shout!” in 1959. In 1963, they established their own label T-Neck and even had the talented Jimi Hendrix on lead guitar for a while. Signing on to Motown in 1965, they recorded the classic “This Old Heart Of Mine." Leaving Motown in 1968, they relaunched T-Neck and released another hit "It's Your Thing" in 1969. Adding Ernie and Marvin Isley as well as Chris Jasper to their lineup in 1973, they continued to release hits like “Between the Sheets," “Choosey Lover,” or “For the Love Of You” until 1983.</p>
<p>In recognition of their immense contribution to music, The Isley Brothers were rightfully inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 1992.</p>

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl RemasteredA major turning point for the Isley Brothers. Original members Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph Isley added cousin Chris Jasper on keys and younger brothers Ernie on guitar and Marvin on bass. The line-up addition changed the sound of the Isley Brothers into a more Rock direction without losing the R&amp;B / Soul sound the group had gained a huge fanbase with. Special attention goes to Ernie's Hendrix-like fuzz solo work and Marvin's stellar bass ventures, truly enriching the group's music. Album opener "That Lady" became a hit overnight, their interpretation of The Doobie Brothers' "Listen To The Music" is the pinnacle of contagious and "Summer Breeze" by Seals &amp; Crofts became a true soul staple ever since the Isleys laid it on wax.
