The Isley Brothers originated in
Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to New York in 1957. They started out as a
trio with O'Kelly, Ronald and Rudolph, then added their younger brothers
Ernie and Marvin, as well as brother-in-law Chris Jasper in 1969.
They charted an impressive 49 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1959 and 2001, with four Top Tens, three Gold and one Platinum record.
