The Payback is the 37th studio album by the American musician James Brown. Originally slated to serve as the soundtrack for the 1973 blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem, it was ultimately not used for that film and instead released as a separate album in December 1973 by Polydor Records. The Payback is considered a high point in Brown's recording career, and is regarded by critics as a landmark funk album. Its revenge-themed title track, a #1 Billboard R&B hit, is one of Brown's most famous songs, and has been frequently sampled.
