    An incredibly high quality live performance. No pitch correctors or backing tracks fed into their earpieces; this is the real deal. Almost no group can reach this standard today live. Philadelphia International Records which was Gamble & Huff produced a staggering number of hits. There is a Nederlands TV documentary on them, that is amazing. Few Americans know how great Gamble & Huff were, and how many groups they wrote songs and produced for, O'Jays probably being their best and most successful.

So I googled the lyrics. Whew! Now I can continue to listen with a less heavy 💙.

I was about 5 yrs old when this sing dropped. My Mom is a HUGE fan of the O'Jays...so was my stepdad. So I heard them everyday. Ill just say this...when you hear the voices of Walter and Eddie, wrapping around each other, you hear the voice of God...the gut wrenching baritone of Eddie, overlapping Walters's tenor, has brought tears to my eyes, too many times to count...especially on this cut. RIP, to Mr Powell, who was the glue of the group in their early yrs.
