About The Isley Brothers
The Isley Brothers formed in the early 1950s in Cincinnati, Ohio and today are considered one of the most important and influential groups of the last half-century. Though raised primarily on the sounds of gospel music, the family band went on to experiment and record under the genres of doo-wop, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, soul, Motown, funk, quiet storm, disco, pop and hip-hop, all the while remaining true to their vision and voice. After 31 albums and six decades, The Isley Brothers are showing no signs of slowing down. As a matter of fact, they released Power of Peace with the legendary Carlos Santana last year.
