Live at Yankee Stadium

Live at Yankee Stadium is a 1969 live album by The Isley Brothers, released on their own T-Neck imprint. While the Isleys appear in this live album, it's actually a live showcase by the group to conjoin artists that signed to their T-Neck label and Buddah Records-associated acts including Judy White, the girl group Sweet Cherries, the gospel group the Edwin Hawkins Singers and the family soul group the Five Stairsteps. All the guest artists except for the Edwin Hawkins Singers sang songs that were written and produced for them by the Isleys. The Isleys themselves proved to be worth-waiting singing their then-current hits "It's Your Thing", "I Turned You On" and the 1959 classic, "Shout", which ended the show bringing in audience members alongside them as they ended the performance.

The version of "It's Your Thing" heard here appears on the Isley Brothers' career-spanning 1999 boxed set It's Your Thing: The Story of the Isley Brothers, the liner notes to which say the concert took place on June 21, 1969.
