Still, ZZ Top was part of the firmament of pop culture. “Antenna,” their 1994 debut for the label, was the only RCA record ZZ Top released to be certified either gold or platinum by the RIAA, with their other three RCA albums in the next decade appealing primarily to devoted fans. Given their cultural omnipresence, it was little wonder RCA Records decided to sign the group to a $35 million deal in 1994. The group became so iconic that their cameo in 1990’s “Back to the Future Part III” served as a punchline of sorts, with Hill and Gibbons spinning their stringed instruments just like they did on their big MTV hits. The subsequent “Afterburner” and “Recycler” albums kept the trio at the top of the charts. ZZ Top continued to slyly adapt musical fashions without abandoning their blues base, a combination that turned them into superstars when the fledgling cable network MTV embraced the singles from 1983’s synth-heavy “Eliminator.” Accompanied by tongue-in-cheek videos where the group, often flocked by women with big hair and short skirts, bestowed good fortune in those in need, “ Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man” and “ Legs” became smash hits on MTV and radio, turning ZZ Top into the rare ‘70s rock band that thrived in the 1980s. Hill also had a heavy vocal presence on 1976’s “Tejas,” taking the lead on “ Ten Dollar Man” and duetting with Gibbons on “ It’s Only Love.” Soon, they earned the nickname of “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” and set out on their Worldwide Texas Tour in support of 1975’s “Fandango!,” an album that featured Hill singing lead on “ Tush,” a ribald rocker that became their calling card. The boogie-rock groove of “La Grange” brought them their first hit - the single just missed Billboard’s Top 40 -and a photograph of a Tex-Mex feast from Houston’s Leo’s Mexican Restaurant, splashed across the album’s inner gatefold sleeve, launched ZZ Top as de facto ambassadors for Texas culture. “ZZ Top’s First Album” arrived in 1971, but the band hits its stride on 1973’s “Tres Hombres,” honing its heavy blues and amplifying its Texas roots in both words and image.
