Isley Jasper Isley was a splinter group of The Isley Brothers, formed by Ernie Isley and Marvin Isley along with brother-in-law Chris Jasper. The band was formed due to creative differences that arose among the group. They recorded three albums for CBS Records between 1984 and 1988 – Broadway’s Closer to Sunset Blvd., Caravan of Love and Different Drummer.

The group is best known for their hit song “Caravan of Love”, which went to #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and #51 on the Billboard pop chart in 1985. The song was further popularized by the Housemartins' cover the following year, which was a number-one hit in three countries.
