Last update: Saturday 04th of July 2009 The Isley Brothers
The Isley Brothers (IPA: ) are a Black music group from Cincinnati, Ohio, who hold the record for being the longest-running charted group in music history. Starting in 1954 and lasting into the new millennium, the group has spanned decades, two generations of members and music genres as diverse as gospel, doo-wop, R&B, soul, funk, rock, adult contemporary and even hip-hop. Their early hits, "Shout!", "Twist & Shout" and "Nobody But Me", laid the groundwork for 1960s rock acts and became soul standards in the process. They also pioneered the ground for other artists and bands to form their own labels forming T-Neck Records in the mid-1960s. They also helped pave the way for self-contained funk bands after Sly & the Family Stone with the release of their groundbreaking 1969 single, "It's Your Thing". Founded in 1954, the original members were brothers O'Kelly, Jr., Rudolph, Ronald and Vernon Isley, singing just gospel until Vernon's death from a car accident in 1955. After a brief split, the three older brothers reformed as a trio. In 1973, they added younger brothers Ernie and Marvin and brother-in-law Chris Jasper, reinventing the vocal group as a band with the moniker 3 + 3. The younger half broke off from the group in 1984, making the group a vocal trio again, until 1986 when oldest brother O'Kelly, Jr., suddenly died of a heart attack. After one album as a duo, Rudolph retired to become a minister and Ronald carried on with a solo career until he, Ernie and Marvin reformed the Isley Brothers in 1991. After Marvin left due to his battle with diabetes in 1997, Ronald and Ernie carried on into the new millennium. In the process, Ronald's new alter ego, the gangster and R. Kelly video villain 'Mr. Biggs', helped bring newfound success to the group.

The Isley Brothers in the news
They both have had some experience overseas, Bipasha with her modeling career and recent appearance at the New Seven Wonders of the World and Shilpa with her win of the latest Celebrity Big Brother show. I don't want to be insensitive. I know it's a bad thing to happen to these two brothers - but this photo is hilarious! Built over the Red Sea between Yemen and Djibuti, the Bin Laden Century will be the biggest suspension bridge ever realized in the world. The overall projects top the $50 billion mark. Bin Laden's brother has formed partnerships in the United States by giving the Napa, California, exclusive agent to plan, build and operate the projected bridge.
