When it comes to pioneers who carved out the funk genre that evolved from soul music, one standout group is the American musical ensemble The Isley Brothers.

Formed in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the 1950s, they have reigned over the music scene for more than seventy years.

Having built one of the longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the history of popular music, they evolved their style with the times—across rhythm and blues, rock, soul, and funk.

They first drew attention with their original song “Shout” in 1959 and shot to stardom with their 1962 cover of “Twist and Shout.” They went on to set numerous milestones, including winning a Grammy Award for “It’s Your Thing” in 1969.

Continually producing an innovative sound that blends elements of rock, funk, and gospel, their music still makes a powerful impact not only on funk fans but on all who love music.
