Biography

First formed in the early '50s, the Isley Brothers enjoyed one of the longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music. Over the course of nearly half a century of performing, the group's distinguished history spanned not only two generations of Isley siblings but also massive cultural shifts that heralded their music's transformation from gritty R&B to Motown soul to blistering funk. In 1973, the Isleys scored a massive hit with their rock-funk fusion cover of their own earlier single [roviLink="MC"]"Who's That Lady," retitled [roviLink="MC"]"That Lady"; the accompanying album, 3 + 3, also proved highly successful. ~ Jason Ankeny
