The Isley Brothers are a 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, Quiet Storm 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 by 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".
