With Vernon as the lead vocals, the quartet started touring across the eastern US, performing mainly in churches.
They got their first break when they landed a spot on Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour, and won the competition. The brothers began performing together in 1954, styling themselves after groups like Billy Ward and His Dominoes and The Dixie Hummingbirds. Their father, O’Kelly Sr., was a former US Navy sailor and vaudeville performer from North Carolina their mother was their guide when they sang in church. A fourth brother, Vernon, joined the band shortly before his tragic death from a hit-and-run accident. The Isley Brothers formed in Ohio as a vocal trio consisting of three brothers: O’Kelly Jr., Rudolph and Ronald Isley. The Isley Brothers have been credited for bringing the Beatles out of Liverpool and to America. But if there’s anything that’s made the group legends, it’s the fact that they turned another group into the biggest band of all time. And ever since their last R&B hit in 1989, the Isley Brothers have been hanging on in the “oldies but goodies” category. They even crossed over into soul-flavored remakes of rock hits like Summer Breeze. Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley, Marvin Isley, Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper, Neil Portnow. They were the R&B band that introduced Jimmy James (but you know him better as Jimi Hendrix) and the funk band that finally hit the pop Top 5 with It’s Your Thing and Fight the Power.
The Isley Brothers have done it all – they were the pre-Motown, pre-Beatles vocal trio that recorded the first versions of Shout and Twist and Shout.
