Joined in the late Sixties by younger brothers Marvin and Ernie, Rudolph remained with the Isley Brothers throughout their many genre shifts, from funk and disco to quiet storm and R&B.
However, his tenure with the brotherly act ended in 1989 when — following Kelly’s death three years earlier — he decided to leave the music industry and become a Christian minister. Throughout the ensuing decades, Rudolph would only occasionally reunite with his brothers — however, he wasn’t present when the Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 — but in the months before Rudolph’s death, he was involved in a legal battle against his brother Ronald over the legal rights to the Isley Brothers name.
With Rudolph’s death, the only surviving Isley Brothers are Ronald and Ernie.
