Rudolph Isley, a founding member of the hit band The Isley Brothers, has died at age 84, according to a report.

TMZ has reported that Isley died Wednesday in Illinois. The cause of death remains uncertain, however an insider has told the outlet that Isley is believed to have suffered a heart attack.

Isley was a member of the family musical group The Isley Brothers, whose hits included For the Love of You, Parts 1 & 2 and Shout.

Rudolph founded the group alongside his siblings, Ronald, O'Kelly, and his now late brother Vernon, who passed at age 13 in a 1955 car accident.

They continued with Ronald as lead singer and Rudolph and O’Kelly as backup singers, with brothers Ernie, Marvin and Rudolph's brother-in-law Chris Jasper later joining the group.

R.I.P
 

Loved the Isley Brothers. IMO this is one of the best soul ballads ever. RIP Rudolph, and thanks for adding great music to my "coming of age" years.
