It wasn�t until the Isleys formed T-Neck Records in 1969 and recorded the massive funk hit �It�s Your Thing� that their professional world began to change. Performing his first solo in church when he was a toddler standing in a chair, the Cincinnati native later teamed with siblings Rudolph Isley and O�Kelly Isley to become one of the most important groups of the last century: the Isley Brothers.Īfter winning local talent shows in their hometown, the brothers relocated to New York City in 1958 and, one year later, released their first smash single, �Shout.� But while most groups of that era quickly faded away, the Isley Brothers kept recording for various labels through the ∦0s, including a stint at Motown. Soul legend Ronald Isley, 72, has been famous for the majority of his life. For more than 50 years, his amazing voice has been a part of our collective lives and this chat was really solid.
We love this interview with soul legend, Ronald Isley.
