Rudolph Isley<\/strong>, the singer known as one of the founding members of The Isley Brothers, has died.<\/p>\n

The iconic singer passed away Wednesday in Illinois, TMZ has learned. The cause of Rudolph’s death is currently unclear, though one person involved tells us it’s believed he suffered a heart attack.<\/p>\n

\"O'Kelly,<\/p>\n

Rudolph started singing at a young age in his local church and created The Isley Brothers with his siblings Ronald<\/strong>, O’Kelly<\/strong>, and Vernon<\/strong> when he was just a teenager.<\/p>\n

After Vernon was tragically hit by a car while riding his bike at just 13 years old in 1955, the brothers moved to New York to record music … signing with RCA Records a few years later and debuting with their first song, “Shout” — arguably one of their most significant tracks.<\/p>\n

\"Rudolph\"<\/p>\n

While the group was still in its infancy, Rudolph married Elaine Jasper<\/strong> in 1958 … living the married life while the Brothers all went on to garner success with tracks like “Twist & Shout,” “This Old Heart of Mine,” and “It’s Your Thing.”<\/p>\n

Despite Ronnie often taking the lead in the group, Rudolph got to record lead vocals for some of their songs, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the years went on, The Isley Brothers grew — adding younger brothers Ernie<\/strong> and Marvin<\/strong> and Rudolph’s brother-in-law Chris Jasper<\/strong> into the mix in 1971.<\/p>\n

Rudolph left the group in 1989 to carry out his goal of being a Christian minister, but he reunited with the group over the years. They were even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 … being given the award by fellow music legend Little Richard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The group has been cranking out tracks for over half a century — something many groups can’t come close to — with more recent songs like “Busted” and “Contagious” after Rudolph left.<\/p>\n

They also made it into some popular rap hits … being sampled in Ice Cube<\/strong>‘s “It Was a Good Day” and Notorious B.I.G.<\/strong>‘s “Big Poppa.”<\/p>\n

Rudolph was 84.<\/p>\n

RIP<\/p>\n
