The Isley Brothers, whose musical influence spans seven decades and includes a variety of genres from rock & roll, funk, R&B and soul, have sold millions of records worldwide. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, the group has produced sixteen Top 40 albums and several Billboard Hot 100 hits — such as “Shout,” “It’s Your Thing,” and “Contagious.”
Over the span of their career, The Isley Brothers have collaborated with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Snoop Dogg, Beyoncé and more. In 2014, The Recording Academy presented The Isley Brothers with The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
As a fundraising event, proceeds from Legacy Fest go toward the Madam Walker Legacy Center’s year-round STEAM, entrepreneurship, women’s equity, social justice and arts programming.
