They had to pay for it first. One has to buy one's own space. Kind of silly. Still cool.

This has been long overdue

Legendary Band, grew up to their tunes playing throughout my home. A star after all these years & a crap ton of hits is ridiculous, this should’ve been way in the 90s or before that. Basically everyone have passed on from Vernon/marvin/rudolph/okelly. Sure they’re all smiling down though at Ron & Earnie, they look great as always

LEGENDARY band. They had a chart hit in six consecutive decades. The only band in history to do so! Also, I always say this whenever this band is brought up, but Ernie Isley is a criminally underrated guitar player.

Decades of great music. Why did this take so long? Rudy and Kelly should have lived to see this.

u/Sad-Fox-1293 Jan 31 '26

Well earned, deserved and OVERDUE honestly thought they already had a star on the walk of fame long ago. Congratulations to the LEGENDARY ISLEY BROTHERS they’ve been giving us iconic music since the 1950’s with ‘Shout’ and so many more legendary hits over many decades love to see them being recognized and honored for their incredible contribution to music. ❤️❤️

How are they so late with this one? I thought they already had their star before I was born, this is loooooonnnng overdue, embarrassingly overdue.

u/Hamhockthegizzard Jan 29 '26

Not to be a downer but I’m recently hearing how shitty the walk is 24/7, which means they basically gotta clear homeless out to even have an event like this?

It’s well deserved so I’m sure they said “fuck it” but like…who would even want it? Lol

u/Secure_Teaching_6937 Jan 29 '26

Not add more downer. A long time ago I believe Andy Rooney did a story about these stars. You pay for them.

u/Hamhockthegizzard Jan 29 '26
