Ernie grew up at the time where his older brothers Rudolph, O'Kelly and Ronald were making waves during the group's original rise to fame in the 1950s and 1960s.

In 1969, seventeen-year-old Isley had formed a band with baby brother Marvin (who was the bass player) and family friend and future brother-in-law Chris Jasper (the band's keyboardist). Ernie and Marvin are both graduates of Dwight Morrow High School , in Englewood, NJ . The older brothers eventually put Ernie, Marvin and Chris into their group as the Isleys were now venturing into funk and rock territory. Slowly but surely, the younger brothers started to get noticed for their talents and in 1973, the older brothers announced that Ernie, Marvin and Chris were now officially the new members of the Isley Brothers. In turn, the legendary group had now become a band and a totally new artist altogether.

In 1973, Ernie's searing guitar solo in the group's big hit "That Lady, Pt. 1 & 2" and their modest follow-up, the cover to Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze" got Ernie more noticeable. His guitar solos in other Isley songs including "Live It Up", "Voyage to Atlantis" and "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier" were equally memorable. Eventually, however, the younger half of the Isleys felt that their stay at the group was overwelcomed and they left to form the splinter group, Isley-Jasper-Isley, in 1985. That lineup scored just one hit, the R&B monster hit, "Caravan of Love". The group split up in 1987 and Ernie started his own solo career. 1973 (MCMLXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday. ...
