Isley, Jasper, Isley

Splinter group of the Isley Brothers formed in 1984 by brother-in-law Chris Jasper, Ernie Isley, and Marvin Isley, due to creative differences that arose among the group. Jasper, a classically trained musician and composer and the key songwriter, producer, and arranger of Isley Brothers music, became the lead vocalist on most of the trio's recordings, and was also responsible for the majority of the writing and production for the new group.
