Isley-Jasper-Isley was a splinter group of the Isley Brothers formed in 1984 by brother-in-law Chris Jasper (keyboards), Ernie Isley (lead guitar), and Marvin Isley (bass), due to creative differences that arose among the group.^[1]

Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper and Marvin Isley had performed on Isley Brothers recordings since 1969 and as members since the 3 + 3 album in 1973.^[2] They left the group in 1984, and released their first album Broadway's Closer to Sunset Blvd later that year.^[2]

Isley-Jasper-Isley released two further albums on their CBS Associated Records label, including Caravan of Love. The title hit was a No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts. "Caravan of Love" was subsequently covered by English band the Housemartins, who made the song an international No. 1 pop hit in 1986.^[1] "Caravan of Love" was followed by three other top 20 R&B singles, "Insatiable Woman", "8th Wonder of the World", and "Givin' You Back the Love".^[2] The latter two tracks were featured on their final album Different Drummer.

In 1987, Isley-Jasper-Isley disbanded.^[1] Younger brothers Marvin and Ernie Isley returned to perform with older brother Ronald Isley.^[2] Jasper continued as a solo artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, forming his own independent record label, Gold City Records. He has since released 14 solo albums, including four gospel albums. He released two albums on his CBS-Associated label, Gold City Records, including the No. 1 R&B hit "Superbad" in 1988.^[1]

The Isley-Jasper-Isley half of the group was inducted with the rest of the Isleys in 1992 to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in January 2014. Marvin Isley died from complications of diabetes in 2010.^[2]
