A few years after the death of younger brother Vernon from a road accident, O'Kelly, Rudy and Ron were convinced by their parents to form a new singing group together. Occasionally performing in churches throughout their childhood, the three eldest brothers O'Kelly, Rudy, Ron, were taught how to perform in front of crowds by their parents, who were also musicians, along with their younger siblings. The group has had a variation of lineups, ranging from a quartet to a trio to a sextet (The 3+3 era being the most popular) to finally a duo. As of 2006, they were still charting successful albums performing under a repertoire of Doo-wop, R&B, rock and roll, soul, funk, disco, Psychedelic Rock, urban adult contemporary, Funk rock, and Hip Hop Soul. They are one of the few groups to have long-running success on the Billboard charts, placing a charted single in every decade since 1959. The Isley Brothers are an American R&B, soul, Rock & Roll and funk band.
