[singonavine71]

The Isley Brothers have sold over 18 million units in the United States alone. With their first major hit charting in 1959 ("Shout"), and their last one in 2001 ("Contagious"), they are among the few groups ever to have hit the Billboard Hot 100 with new music in six different decades. Sixteen of their albums charted in the Top 40 and thirteen of those albums have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the RIAA. The brothers have been honored by several musical institutions, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted them in 1992. Five years later, they were added to Hollywood's Rockwalk, and in 2003 they were inducted to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. They received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.

Isley Brothers Co-founder Rudolph Isley Dies at 84

Rudolph Isley, who co-founded the Isley Brothers with his siblings in 1955, has died.

Isley was 84; no cause was given.

“Our hearts are heavy as we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Rudolph Isley,” band co-founder Ronald Isley and Ernie Isley, who joined in 1969, said in a statement.

“ … Remember to hold your loved ones close. We will miss our brother but we know he’s in a better place.”

The band, which also included the late O’Kelly, Vernon and Marvin Isley at various points, scored hits across several decades, including “Shout,” “Twist and Shout,” “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You),” “It’s Your Thing” and “That Lady.”

“The (Isley Brothers) navigated every cultural shift with skill, responding to emerging styles and trends with new sounds and always another hit,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted the group in 1992, said in a remembrance.

Rudolph Isley left the band in 1989 to become a preacher, leaving Ronald and Ernie to carry on. They released their most-recent album in 2002 and continue to tour.

“May Rudolph Isley rest in peace and love,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.
