R. Kelly was to thank for the career resurgence of The Isley Bros. He introduced them to a younger generation and they kept the hits coming through the early 2000s.

JS also known as the Johnson Sisters were masterminded by R. Kelly and did backing vocals for not only R. Kelly but the Isley Brothers among others. They are famous for their hit single; "Ice Cream" as well as both sisters having relationships with R. Kelly and Ronald Isley. Both sisters famously appeared in The Isley Bros. hit song and video; "Busted". Where the sisters are nowadays? I'm not sure. I think one is still dating Ronald Isley.

Since the inception of Ronald Isley's alter ego; Mr. Biggs back in the late 90s; R. Kelly has kept The Isley Bros. on top of the charts exposing them to a new generation and legions of new fans. "Busted" is one of my favorite songs from The Isley Bros. and I like the call and response of the hook. The video and the song itself is quite laughable and comes courtesy of the genius R. Kelly. Oh and JS were composed of The Johnson Sisters and I can't quite remember if they were twins or not. Their debut album "Ice Cream" was produced by R. Kelly as was the title track. If I'm not mistaken both sisters were romantically involved with Ronald Isley and R. Kelly. I believe one of the Johnson sisters married Ronald Isley.

"frankly my dear I don't give a damn" . These are the closing lines on this throwback video of the day, "Busted". Produced by R. Kelly and featuring Kelly on background vocals. The Isley Bros. built a fan base back in the 50s and to this very day are still churning out hits thanks primarily to R. Kelly. Along with duo JS(Johnson Sisters) who appears in the clip, Ron Isley scolds a cheating lover and the video plays similar to another hit single, "Contagious". This time the JS replaces Chante Moore.
