But perhaps what stunned most was not only the performance, but the fact that a band formed in the 1950s is still commanding a stage and connecting deeply with multiple generations. Many in the audience took to social media platforms to share how they came with their parents, or brought their kids, and heard songs that “sound the same and yet feel new.”

More fans chimed in to add things like, "Great show ?," "??????Legends," and "Isley Brothers Forever ❣️❣️❣️."
The Isley Brothers: An Iconic Story of Family and Music
They started in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a gospel‐singing quartet performing in churches around the city. Tragically, Vernon died in a bicycling accident around 1955, which led to a temporary hiatus. When the remaining trio moved to New York City in the late ’50s, they began recording secular music.
Their breakout came in 1959 with the gospel‐inflected rock “Shout,” which sold more than a million copies. From there, the Isleys evolved rapidly—recording “Twist and Shout” (famously covered by the Beatles) and “It’s Your Thing,” released in 1969 on their own label, T-Neck).
The Isley Brothers have sold millions of records, earned induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (1992), and hold the rare feat of charting new music on the Billboard Hot 100 across six consecutive decades.
