Soon we started playing this style with many groups in the Bay Area and became known for this." I wanted pure funk. The relentlessly funky Head Hunters, inspired more by Sly and the Family Stone than by Hancock's onetime boss Miles Davis, became the best-selling jazz album of all time on release  cracking the Top 20 on the Billboard album chart. It happened spontaneously and took hold within seconds. He can be heard on all four Headhunters albums under Hancock's direction: 1973's Head Hunters, 1974's Thrust, 1975's Man-Child, and the 1975 live LP Flood.
The LP was referred to as "life-threatening".
