LOS ANGELES — A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Wednesday honoring The Isley Brothers, the latest honor for the soulful pioneering R&B and funk group which also includes induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
Ronald and Ernie Isley were joined at the ceremony at 7051 Hollywood Blvd., near Sycamore Avenue, by producer and songwriter Terry Lewis, a fellow member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Jon Platt, chairman & CEO of Sony Music Publishing.
“I want to thank all of our fans, all of our fans, each and every one of them,” Ronald Isley said. “We’ve been doing this for 67 years, and God bless you all. God bless everyone of you. … I want to say, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And my family out there, my grandkids, my son, my daughter, my wife and mother-in-law, thank you, thank you, thank you.”…
