I remember hearing this b4 but didn't have the artist info.

The Yankee Stadium concert took place in the summer of 1969. The show included the Isleys (who headlined ths show), the Edwin Hawkins Singers, Brooklyn Bridge, the 5 Stairsteps, the Winstons & Patti Austin among others. It was filmed and the concert movie was released sometime in late 69-early 70. If you catch the infomercials selling classic soul music with the Isleys' It's Your Thing on the collection, you will see the clip from that concert movie. BTW - the film was called It's Our Thing.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was going by the date on the album release. Will try to find the film.

Never even thought about it. It was done on T Neck Records which I believe was the Isley Brothers label. One would have to pull up the Isley Brothers and see if there is a film available.

Great song. Wonderful to hear this live version. I heard that there is a video of this performance. Would love to see it. Any idea?!
