The Isley Brothers, American rhythm-and-blues and rock band that began recording in the late 1950s and continued to have hit records in the 1960s and ’70s.

The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the ‘longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music’.

There is only one band in the history of American music that had a proven influence on both The Beatles and the rapper Ice Cube, and had a hit in six straight decades, from the ‘50s to the ‘00s. That band is the mighty Isley Brothers, one the most influential bands in American musical history, who recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.
