Occasionally performing in churches throughout their childhood, the three eldest brothers O'Kelly, Rudy, Ron, were taught how to perform in front of crowds by their parents, who were also musicians, along with their younger siblings. Much like The JB's, Parliament-Funkadelic, DeBarge and Zapp, the Isleys are among one of the most sampled groups in hip-hop history with their recordings sampled by the likes of 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Outkast, UGK, J Dilla, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg among others. Since 1997, after diabetes forced Marvin into retirement, the lineup has been Ron and Ernie, now on hiatus due to Ron's current prison sentence after a tax evasion conviction in 2006.
In 1991, Ron reformed the group with Ernie and Marvin returning to the lineup. Rudy left the group for a career in the ministry in 1989. After the younger brothers splintered from the group in 1984, the remaining trio continued recording until O'Kelly's death from a cancer-related heart attack in 1986. After reforming the group as a six-member lineup in 1973 featuring younger brothers Ernie and Marvin and brother-in-law Chris Jasper, they became known to fans as 3 + 3 and charted gold and platinum success with albums such as 3 + 3, The Heat Is On, Go For Your Guns and Between the Sheets, while charting a succession of hit singles such as " That Lady", " Fight the Power", " For the Love of You", " Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)" and " Between the Sheets", between 19. After modest success with singles such as " Shout", " Twist and Shout" and the Motown single, " This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)", and a brief tenure with Jimi Hendrix as a background guitar player, the group settled on a brand of gritty soul and funk defined by the Grammy-winning smash " It's Your Thing", in 1969. and Sally Bell Isley: O'Kelly Jr., Rudolph and Ronald, who formed in 1957 and recorded with small labels singing doo-wop and rock 'n' roll. Originally raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, the original group consisted of the three elder sons of O'Kelly Isley, Sr.
The group has had a variation of lineups, ranging from a quartet to a trio to a sextet to finally a duo. They are one of the few groups to have long-running success on the Billboard charts placing a charted single in every decade since 1959 and as of 2006 were still charting successful albums performing under a repertoire of doo-wop, R&B, rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, disco, urban adult contemporary and hip-hop soul.
