The Isley Brothers are from Cincinnati, Ohio. Their brand of R&B with rock, soul and funk elements helped to define as a template for the Funk Rock genre.

In 1964, the group hired a young guitarist who had been in several rhythm and blues groups as a backing guitarist. His name was Jimi Hendrix but was then going by his nickname at the time, Jimmy James.
