The Payback is the 37th studio album by James Brown. The album was released in December 1973, by Polydor Records. It was originally scheduled to become the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem, but was rejected by the film’s producers, who dismissed it as “the same old James Brown stuff.” It went to #1 on the Soul Albums chart for two weeks and cracked the Pop Albums chart in the Top 40. It was Brown’s only studio album to be certified gold.
The title track went number one on the R&B charts and has been heavily sampled by musical artists.
