Fans Pay Tribute After Death Of Music Icon Rudolph Isley At 84

Rudolph Isley, a founding member of the musical group, the Isley Brothers, has died at age 84.

“There are no words to express my feelings and the love I have for my brother. Our family will miss him. But I know he’s in a better place,” said Ronald Isley in a statement.

Rudolph first started singing in church with his brothers Ronald and O’Kelly Isley. He was just a teenager when the group’s hit song, “Shout,” debuted in the 1950s.

The brothers then released “Twist and Shout” in the 1960s, which the Beatles used as the closing song on their debut album.

Other popular Isley Brothers songs include “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You),” “It’s Your Thing” and “Fight the Power (Part 1).”

Rudolph eventually left the group in 1989 after O’Kelly’s death. He became a Christian minister and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

Details about the singer’s death have not been released.

Fans took to social media to pay tribute to the late singer.

SiriusXM host Eric Alper wrote on X: “For 6 decades, Rudolph Isley revolutionized RnB, Funk and Soul music with ‘Shout,’ ‘Twist and Shout,’ ‘It’s Your Thing,’ and ‘Who’s That Lady’ and will be greatly missed.”
