They got off to a good start with "Colder Are My Nights" reaching number 12 on the R&B charts. The brothers followed with "May I?," a pleading love song that was mildly successful in the spring of 1986. However, any joy from the album was negated when Kelly Isley died of a heart attack on March 31, 1986 at age 48. Isley Jasper Isley returned with their third album, Different Drummer, in 1987. From the LP two singles made the R&B top 20: the techno-funk jam "8th Wonder of the World" in the spring of 1987 and the sweet, mid-tempo "Givin' You Back the Love" later that summer.
