This brotherly Motown group originated in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1959. The brothers O'Kelly, Ronald and Rudolph all sang in church as boys and were greatly influenced by gospel music. The 1966 hit, This Old Heart of Mine, was the groups only hit on their short career on the Motown label. The track was originally intended for The Supremes. The song peaked at #12 on pop charts and #6 on R&B charts. The Isley Brothers are also known for their songs Shout and Twist and Shout which they produced under their own label. In this particular track, the Funk Brothers musically back the group.
