  • The Heat Is On is the twelfth studio album by American soul and funk group The Isley Brothers, released June 1975 on the Epic imprint-label T-Neck Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in 1975 at Kendum Recorders in Burbank, California. The album was entirely written and produced by the Isley Brothers. The group implemented many acoustic and electric instruments during its recording, including guitar, piano, and synthesizer. Primarliy a funk and soul outing, The Heat Is On features elements of rock and quiet storm. The album is part of the succession of slick, successful soul records by the Isley Brothers during the 1970s that were divided between tough funk songs and subdued romantic ballads. It is notable for its two singles, "Fight the Power (Part 1 & 2)" and "For the Love of You (Part 1 & 2)". The Heat Is On sold 500,000 copies in its first month of release, and it spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. It became the Isley Brothers' first album to hit number one on the chart. The album initially received generally favorable reviews from publications, including The Village Voice, Melody Maker, and Rolling Stone. Music critics have since cited the album as among the Isley Brothers' best work. In 1999, The Heat Is On was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), after sales of 2 million copies. The album was reissued on compact disc by Epic Records in 2001.
