Harvest For The World by The Isley Brothers Concert Band - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1722596

"Harvest for the World" is a song recorded by American musical group The Isley Brothers, released in 1976, serving as the title track from their album, Harvest for the World, released the same year. The song, about world peace, was composed by Ernie Isley, who wrote most of the lyrics, together with Marvin Isley and Chris Jasper, with additional lyrics and musical arrangements added by the three original members O'Kelly, Rudolph and Ronald. The song was recorded on the same day as "Fight the Power (Part 1 & 2)", and was originally intended to be the lead single from the album The Heat Is On; but "Fight The Power" ended up being the lead single from that album, by a group vote. As on many Isley Brothers records, Ronald sang lead on the song while his elder brothers O'Kelly and Rudolph backed him up. The song became a top ten R&B hit, peaking at No. 9, and at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a bigger hit in the UK, reaching No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart; it has been covered by artists including The Christians, Vanessa Williams, Paul Carrack and Power Station. Available for concert bands worldwide for the first time, there are ad lib solos for alto sax, trumpet and flute along the way. Turn back the clock and encourage a bit of neighbourly love at your next concert with this soulful chart hit.
