Body Kiss is the 29th studio album by The Isley Brothers on the DreamWorks label. Almost solely written, arranged, composed and produced by longtime collaborator R. Kelly as well as hitmakers Tim & Bob, the album 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 hit number one on the album charts. It also became the first Isley Brothers album to debut at number-one and has since been certified gold by the RIAA. Other hits were the radio-ready "Prize Possession".
