The Isley Brothers Live at Yankee Stadium. They needed the security of one other hit-1974's Live It Up, whose title track went to four R&B while a cover of a Todd Rundgren ballad sat on its second side-before they cut their first album of all originals, 1975's The Heat Is On. With its "Fight the Power"-an anthem of defiance that seemed more political than its lyrics actually were; it was a rebellion that jumped demographics-they had their biggest-ever crossover hit and it's one firmly grounded in funk: its attitude and melody hooked in a larger audience.
