Isley Brothers: Heat's Still On Isleys
Harvey Kubernik, Melody Maker, 11 October 1975
LOS ANGELES: The Isleys' latest album, The Heat Is On, recently hit number one in America, but for as long as there's been rock and roll the Isley Brothers have been there with it. Everyone from the Beatles and the Yardbirds to Steve Miller and Rod Stewart have paid homage to them.
