Primarily written, arranged, composed and produced by longtime collaborator R. Kelly, with one track produced by Tim & Bob. Body Kiss yielded the singles "What Would You Do?" and "Busted". It became the first album since the band's 1975 album, The Heat Is On, to peak at number one on the Billboard 200. It also became the first Isley Brothers album to debut at number one on the chart, also ousting rapper 50 Cent's debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' from the top position.[1] It has since been certified gold by the RIAA. Other hits were the radio-ready "Prize Possession".
