US EditionLongtime St. Louis Residents the Isley Brothers Earn Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Isley Brothers earned their 2,834th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognized for charting hits on Billboard Hot 100 across six decades and ongoing collaborations.
- On January 28, 2026, the Isley Brothers were honored with the 2,834th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Sycamore Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard.
- The group's story began in 1954 as a gospel quartet in Cincinnati with O'Kelly, Rudolph, Ronald and Vernon, and after Vernon's 1955 death the remaining three broke through with "Shout".
- Their influence shows in heavy sampling by Ice Cube, The Notorious B.I.G., Kendrick Lamar, Drake, SZA and Megan Thee Stallion, while their 2022 album featuring Beyoncé earned a Soul Train Award and KTLA 5 entertainment anchor Melvin Robert emceed tributes including producer Terry Lewis.
- At the podium Ronald Isley sang a classic and thanked his family, while Ernie Isley honored the original quartet and said his "heart is full," and Melvin Robert, KTLA 5 entertainment anchor, called the honor long overdue.
- The honor resonates because the group remains active into 2026 and their evolving sound, influenced by Jimi Hendrix and 1973 additions Ernie Isley, Marvin Isley, and Chris Jasper, blends rock, soul, and funk as their catalog appears in Anchorman and Rush Hour.
