1975-EPIC
Produced By THE ISLEY BROTHERS
1. Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)
2. The Heat Is On (Part 1 & 2)
3. Hope You Feel Better Love (Part 1 & 2)
4. For The Love Of You (Part 1 & 2)
5. Sensuality (Part 1 & 2)
6. Make Me Say It Again Girl (Part 1 & 2)
7. Fight The Power (Live)
The Heat Is On is the 13th album by The Isley Brothers, who had already been together for twenty years. Formed in 1954, this family act is still together today, with their amazing career now having spanned sixty years. The Rolling Stones pale in comparison. The Isleys have seen it all. They began as a gospel group, then switched to doo wop with the birth of rock and roll. They have changed with the times, playing R&B, soul, funk, rock…whatever direction the world has taken them in, they’ve done it well. In the 1970’s, the band turned to funk, and they had several hits during the decade. But they also made albums like The Heat Is On. This album is a departure for them, with longer and more spread out songs alternating between rock and smooth ballads. The contrast between the songs makes things a bit uneven sounding, but it also shows what the band could really do.
“Fight The Power” is the Isley’s at their fiery and most political best. This and the rest of the album’s upbeat songs are fueled by the stinging guitar of Ernie Isley, who was very obviously influenced by Jimi Hendrix. “For The Love Of You” is the best of the softer stuff, and shows that the brothers still have it in them to be tender when needed. While not as strong as their only other similar effort, 3+3, The Heat Is On shows why the Isley’s were at their peak in the early to mid 70’s. At only six tracks, the album is a bit short (the live “Fight The Power” is a 2001 bonus track), but it’s also an important part of the band’s impressive and long body of work. Despite slowing down in the 1990’s, they still have 30 studio albums to their credit, with not a clunker in the bunch. The Heat Is On is a fine example of what 70’s funk and soul was really about.
