Yeah, this joint happens to be a classic, man. It makes me drive an old '70 Dodge Charger, as a I listen to some good old school R&B when I pull up the KFC Drive-Through
Why Buy The Ablum?

By Royboo
Just a note to everyone out there, it's a whole lot cheaper to just buy the songs you like rather than the whole ablum. The ablum cost $9.99, all the songs indivdualy cost $10.20. So just buy all but one song and you're still saving money!

Of this album. My dad still has it, signed by all the members of the O'Jays. In fact, seeing them at the Front Rown in Cleveland was my very first concert at the tender age of 12. We had a great time, and got to see Melba Moore open for them. An amazing work from end to end. If you like classic soul, with class, don't deny yourself this. It's an essential.
Back Stabbers!!

One of their best songs on this album is Back Stabbers. They are truly one of my favorite bands. Vote 5 stars!!
The Greatest Classic Soul Album by The O'Jays!!

You don't need me to tell you how wonderful this record is. Back Stabbers is the definitive song about two-timers, and there's not a weak song on the album. (The O'Jay's never really put filler on their albums, but it's important to point out how universally strong this album is.)
This album is also brilliantly written and arranged by the band. The O'Jays have never made a bad album, so you can't go wrong with any one of them. But, if you're looking for THE album to start with, it has to be Back Stabbers.
Although there are some fine compilations out there, this concept album about the state of the world in 1972 is essential because of its timeliness, and its subject mater hasn't dated, obviously.

I might only be 13, but Love Train is one of my all time favorites. I lived part of my life in Los Angeles listening to Oldies with my Dad. So I'm pretty well acquainted with the O'Jays. I think Love Train is their best.

Back Stabbers is certainly one of the greatest albums ever to come from the genre called "The Philly Sound." The tunes are timeless, stand up to repeated listenings, and are just as dramatic as they were back in the Seventies. If you haven't listened to this album as of yet, or haven't heard it in years, do yourself a treat.
